I tend to always serve scones with either a strawberry or raspberry jam. And tea wise, I don't like anything fancy, just a simple English blend (preferably fairtrade). However you could go with an afternoon tea blend or Earl Grey (which you either drink with sliced lemon or cream/milk). Currants are actually a type of dried raisin (raisin sec). And I've yet to find clotted cream in Paris. I'm hoping either Bon Marché or Galerie Lafayette might do a British week and ship some in. Patrick
