Jam first or cream!!!

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).

I'm impressed, Brian. 😀  I think I'll keep the Snowdonia Cheese to have with cheese biscuits though, and perhaps some relish.  I generally prefer 'sweet scones' with jam and lashings of Rhodda's....  with the jam on first.. 🤣🤣

I'll be making cheese scones for the Jubilee celebrations.  I make mine with a 50/50 mix of tasty Lancashire and mature Cheddar.  As a savoury filling I'm going to offer cream cheese and tomato chutney.  Cream cheese or chutney first? smile

It’s those sneaky people in the West Country that seemed to claimed the scone as their own.

it’s a well established fact ( recorded in Doomsday’s book of1065)  that the “Sussex Scone” was the original.

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 kid you not,
