This is sort of a shower thought because this morning I was using some shaving cream and I thought, if it turns out in 5 years this was giving me cancer, I wouldn't be surprised.

Comes out a goo, ejected from a can with force, immediately becomes a foam?

Do you have anything you use that you think might be too good to be true?

You make clotted cream from milk? Doesn't that take like a week? Don't you usually start with some form of cream?

I mean, I made it once from double cream, but they don't sell that here in the Netherlands, and it's so not worth the time compared to just buying a jar of clotted cream.

More power to you though!

You can make it from milk and butter if I remember. You can make it from double cream (heavy whipping cream in the US).

And I would love to just buy a jar but I can't find them anywhere except online!! It's such a shame because I grew up enjoying it, and went a few years too busy to have anything with it, and then when I went to buy it... nowhere.

Eta: If someone has a solution for me in the US thst doesn't involve paying a fortune online, I am all ears! More ears than anything really.
