There's something so romantic and languorous about devouring warm little scones in the country with a perfect cup of tea. On a recent trip to Berrima (my fave country town), we stopped at a gorgeous cafe, sat in the sun and nibbled our way through the morning.
I recently read about a study by the UK's Institute of Food Research. They found that pectin, a natural gelling agent used in making jams, can obstruct the progress of cancer through the body by "sticking" to a protein (Gal3) which causes tumour growth. Go jam!
So if tea and jam are good for you, scones and cream taste like sunshine and breathing in the fresh country air instead of the city smog is the best soul reviver around... I think that's as good as it gets for me.
