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).

For me, never a fruit SCOAN (pronounced the proper Midlands way...) always plain, strawberry jam on first, always clotted cream....and what happened to Devon splits? DEVON SPLITS the proper way to have your cream and jam in Devon.....LINK

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

The cream was very likely Roddas being in that area. Fruit scones - nah, that’s not quite right but just a bit warm, mmmm. 😛

I quite like the fruit scone although Carol had a plain one. Healey's also did a chocolate flavoured one too, but I certainly didn't fancy that... 😃

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

just butter wasn't an option ... 🙄

Date and walnut scones are delicious. We love cheese scones as well, nice with cream cheese in the middle😋

This is not up for debate. It's a plain scone, cream first then a teaspoon of strawberry jam on top.

Discussion over. Thread closed.

Don't the Cornish have a theory about those in Devon covering up the cream.? 🤣🤣🤣🤣.... but then, perhaps those in Devon have a similar theory about the Cornish covering up the jam!!!
