@hollydolly my husband being an Englishman would tell me about this so I showed him the picture
He said he has fond memories of snapping this frozen cream off on his way to school as a child in London
I wonder if the recipients were any the wiser but maybe they had done it themselves as kids

Lol, I loved them until I had a piece of fried chicken that was undercooked!

Pera I used to be a milk girl delivering milk in the winter dark mornings while I was only between 12 and 14 and had to go to school right afterwards... I never once saw anyone take the cream off the milk, except the birds... ... some people would leave a clean empty yoghurt carton out for us to cover up the milk bottle top to stop the birds getting to the cream when it was frozen like that...
