Aibu about squirty cream?

[EvenPhilip]

Cream tea in a cafe yesterday, served Anchor squirty cream.
I was really surprised that any modern day coffee/tea place would think it acceptable to serve this stuff?

YABU. It’s fit.

How much did you pay?

If less than a fiver YABU if more YANBU

YANBU. They should be shut down. 😱

I love squirty cream, can’t stand ‘proper’ cream.
But in a cafe I would would expect thick double cream or clotted cream to be served with a cream tea (which I wouldn’t be ordering) so YANBU.

YANBU. Vile stuff.

As part of a cream tea! That's just not right.

YANBU contact advertising standards they need to be shut down.

Unless it was a cut price cream tea the YANBU.
Clotted cream is a must.

Being surprised cream came with cream tea.
Shocking.

I like squirty cream but it's not for on a cream bun. I was served it once on a scone, was all kinds of wrong!

Squirty cream has no place in a cream tea! I’ve had this and it’s so disappointing. Should 100% be clotted cream but if not then double cream. Never squirty.

Delicious!

YANBU I would at least expect Rodda clotted cream!

Oh behave yourself MrsFox.

Thanks everyone.

I'd be highly disappointed with that. Squitty cream is fine on hot chocs, milkshakes and puddings but with scones it has to be clotted cream.

If the place has any pride whatsoever it wouldn't serve it, no. Plus I find after a few moments it starts to almost evaporate or go a but flat, it doesn't have the same "hold" as proper cream IYSWIM?

So no YANBU.

Oh I take it back. Squirty cream is acceptable on a cup of coffee but on a scone in a cream tea? Massive no. It’s clearly run by peasants. Burn it down.

That's disgusting. Not acceptable at all. Got to be clotted or whipped double cream at a push. You are definitely not being unreasonable.
MrsFox, what on earth are you on about?!

@tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz Yes, it collapses into nothing. Totally unsuitable for scones.

Yanbu as someone who lives in Cornwall that would be downright illegal down here

The horror!

YANBU and I would be gutted (unless cream tea was v cheap as a pp says).

Actuality the only use for squirty cream is to pump a mouthful into ones gob when passing the fridge (there's a knack to doing it ensuring the pump mechanism doesn't touch your mouth or that's some gross cross contamination going on).

I had a cream tea some time ago where the scone arrived sliced in half and ready loaded with jam and cream The disappointment ruined the rest of my day.
