It's called Table Cream, but I never see it in the stores, only Half and Half or Heaving Whipping Cream.
Just where does one find Table Cream?

I'd never heard of table cream, but I did find this from the Canadians:
These types of cream are commonly available in BC:
- Light cream - contains 5-6% milk fat and is typically used as a lighter version of either half-and-half or coffee cream
- Half-and-half, or cereal cream - contains 10% milk fat
- Coffee cream, or table cream - contains 18% milk fat
- Whipping cream - contains anywhere from 33-36% milk fat, and is used for making whipped cream. It can also be used in recipes that call for heavy cream. Not sure how to whip cream? Check-out our tips for making the best whipped cream.
- Heavy cream - contains at least 36% milk fat. It is available in BC, but may be harder to find than 33% whipping cream
