The "blanket" was the very heaviest, thickest cream that floated on the top of whole milk. It had a thick, homogeneous character. On real white bread, spread with sugar, made a great breakfast.
I put heavy cream and brown sugar in my oatmeal. Closest I get.

Yours sounds like something they used to do in my fathers family. Put something bread-y in a bowl, soak it in dairy (depends on what's available) and eat it with a spoon. It's a hoot when he does that with a piece of cake and some half and half.

It's one of my best memories of our trip to London.

Not too much of either. Just enough to give it body.

That's roughly what would be referred to as a "milk tea" vs. a "milky tea" or "cream tea".
The little bit of sugar seems to wake up the flavor. It almost acts like a touch of salt in other things does.
