A vitally important question that must be answered – when having a cream tea and a scone, do you: a) put the jam on first and then the cream, or
b) are you a cream first and then jam person? |

Aha, culture 1.01! Definitely jam then cream, looks better, easier to apply, and tastes great! |

Jam and then cream My God, sir, what would make you think otherwise! That's the order that Her Majesty uses at Balmoral |

Are we talking Devon or Cornwall? I understand that in Devon it is jam then cream, but in Cornwall it is cream then jam. I prefer the Devon method. |

Devon = Cream then Jam
Cornish = Jam then Cream |

Sort of b. Only I don't like jam so have marmalade instead…😁 Strangely, I have Cornish roots… That said, my nan used to do pasties with the crust over the top, not around the side… |

Jam only no cream for this non-Brit. |

All of you are wrong!
You have to mix the jam and cream together before spreading. (And don't forget to add the lime to the coconut… ;-) |

Jam them cream. Says he born in Devon but raised in Cornwall. More importantly, how is your pasty crimped? Side or top? |
| boggler | 03 Sep 2020 2:32 p.m. PST |
And, even more importantly, is it Sconn or Scone? I know where I stand on that one. |
| Herkybird | 03 Sep 2020 3:46 p.m. PST |
My family had Scottish roots, ,most definitely 'Sconn'! |

You have "Scones" with "Tea", Barbarians. I thought a proper gentleman always had Tea with Scones. |

Butter then jam and it's called a biscuit.

I don't eat crappy scones that need jam or cream. |

Depends on the cream. It is basically impossible to put clotted cream on _after_ the jam, so when using clotted cream the cream goes on first, then the jam. But with whipped cream, jam goes on first, then the cream. Simples. JohnG |

Devon all the way! And with clotted cream, never had a problem putting the clotted cream on top of the jam, a vital life skill. |
| BillyNM | 04 Sep 2020 8:54 a.m. PST |
BTW Royston my mum and my aunt (both from their time in Devon) made pasties with the ridge across the top – heaven! |

Just for the record I try to keep my Cornish and Devonian friends happy (or maybe similarly stressed out) by doing one half jam-then-cream, the other half cream-then-jam :) |

BillyNM, it's the only way! Crust on top… 😁 |
| von Schwartz | 05 Sep 2020 4:10 p.m. PST |
Whoa whoa whoa! CLOTTED CREAM?! You mean cream that been sitting on top of the counter for a few days and now has developed a highly evolved civilization. Sounds like genocide to me! |
| boggler | 06 Sep 2020 9:05 a.m. PST |
What about cheese scones.. |
| David Manley | 07 Sep 2020 1:46 p.m. PST |
Jam and cream on cheese scones? MADNESS!!!!! |
