Jam first or cream!!!

Cornish😁 Mind, we prefer fresh raspberries on top of scone, then the cream. That way you can claim one of your 5-a-day😂

Has to be jam first then cream, and also the cream has to be at least half an inch thick.

How can there be any doubt? It's definitely jam first and the cream must be proper Cornish clotted cream ladled on thick. None of that frothy shaving foam stuff!

When working I used to being in the Friday donuts and one chap would always say ah strawberry jam, one of my five a day done.

He also used to run the Friday weigh in which was a sort of inverse weight watchers. Your weight was plotted on a spreadsheet and it was inverse because if you put on weight he would be happy while if you had lost you would be subjected to a baggage of abuse. 

If we are being really, really decadent, then we get a bag of donuts, jam ones. Split in half, add fresh raspberries piled on one half, lather a good dollop of Rodda’s on the other, slap together, and try to eat more than you get down your shirt🤣

Scones and donuts in this instance are like old fashioned “trenchers”. Merely a receptacle for something more delicious, in our case, raspberries and .....clotted cream.

Not quite sure how successful the diet is going to be when we get to Cornwall, we do a variation with ice cream as well!😂

 I don't fancy the scone pictured. I like mine drier and firmer. Also with a decent scone (to my taste) I prefer just butter

Is it a visual thing or does ones mastication make a difference?

You can make it the Cornish way eat half, then turn it upside down and have it the Devon way. That way you have had both.

It’s the whole experience of biting down through the smooth cream into the sweet jam and then reaching the more bland scone to finish it off. You should try it😋

The cream tea at Healey's was wonderful, TW.... the option of fruit scones too... and the scones were just a little warm....  😋😋😋
