cream

Yellowish part of milk, rich in butterfat, that rises to the surface naturally if milk is allowed to stand. In the dairy industry, cream is separated mechanically. Cream is graded by percentage of fat content. In the U.S., half-and-half, a mixture of milk and cream, contains 10.5–18% butterfat; light cream, commonly served with coffee, contains no less than 18%; and medium and heavy creams (the latter including whipping cream) contain about 30% and 36% respectively. Commercial sour cream, about 18–20% butterfat, is inoculated with lactic-acid-producing bacteria. See also ice cream.

Shopping Upper King Shoppers have long been seduced by the wares of Charleston's merchants, with the crème de la crème located on King Street.
This guy, who was already getting the crème de la crème of top-notch poon, quaaluded and sodomized a 13-year-old he knew was 13, but he’s an artiste, they love him in France, he had a rough childhood, the girl wanted it, Sharon Tate, and zee Americans are puritan and zee Bush is a cowboy.
Especially delightful is the strawberries with Nutella and whipped crème wrapped in French crepes.
