Jam first or cream!!!

Sneaky? How very dare you! 😱

The Sussex bunch didn’t even know what proper cream is until we showed them.

"

The scone is two half’s or halves, whichever old English you prefer.

One half cream topped by jam.
The other jam topped by cream, Then the two halves pressed together to be eaten"

I am liking this, home today then off to the West Country on Friday, will no doubt try it out on Saturday

You’ll need a mighty sized mouth to bite through a whole scone as described, Rufs 😀

"The scone is two half’s or halves, whichever old English you prefer.

One half cream topped by jam.
The other jam topped by cream, Then the two halves pressed together to be eaten"

Which begs the obvious question - as you eat the scone (whole apparently) which half do you hold uppermost?  

guess you are right, and of course i should be thinking of the caloris involved, but so as not to offend anybody i will do cream first jam on top, followed by jam first cream on top, sure both will be delicious, washed down with a pint of cider 

I guess it depends which side of the Tamar you’re pitched😀

Here's the proper way to do it in Cornwall.

 Hmmm,  

Please remind us all of Cream Tea Day in late June please  - I might have finished 'Testing Taste Buds '  by then  

Well, after many months of my own scientific research I can now provide the answer. I’ve tried many scones since David posed that question, placing the constituent parts in both combinations. I’ve even turned prepared scones upside down in order to test the findings on family and friends. The upshot is that it makes no difference to either the process of eating or the enjoyment. As long as the ingredients are fresh and of good quality just chomp on regardless and savour!

So it seems that Mickysf is a Chompion Scone Scoffer par excellence !!

 Congratulations Sir  !!

It was a challenging task but someone had to do it. 😉 I now need to renew my gym subscription!
