After our recent stay in Cornwall we've now moved to East Devon. Our last Cornish Cream tea was at Healey's Cyder Farm..... yesterday we visited Budleigh Salterton, and whilst walking along the front came across a 'beach cafe' that also served cream teas. We just couldn't resist. I decided to try putting the cream on first and spreading the jam on top - the Devon way! However, after having got in a bit of a mess with it, I reverted to the Cornish way - jam first with the cream on top. To be honest I find the Cornish way much more intuitive and less messy.

.......so which way do you prefer: jam first with the cream on top (Cornish) or cream first with jam on top (Devonish).

Went out for (another) afternoon tea yesterday, just down the road at Sutton Wharf (Sutton Cheney).... our 'children' booked us in - a pre-birthday treat!!. Apparently they've only just started to offer 'afternoon teas'. It reminded me of this thread, so just had to send a few pictures.....

I always put the cream on first, nice and thick, and make a little hollow in the cream in which the jam sits nicely and doesn't spill oner the sides.

If you turn a Devon prepared one upside down does it become a Cornish one?
