how much clotted cream do you have on scones?

[PoesyCherish]

We typically buy the Rodda's pot of clotted cream, 227 g. This does 4 scones + a little bit left over. I've noticed though if you get cream tea out, you get a teeny tiny pot of cream.

How much cream do you use on your scones?

Do you eat the scone in two separate halfs? I do but DP eats his whole because he's weird

I have more cream than jam.

T'is the only way 

I meant more cream than scone 😬

I have more cream than jam AND scone!

Ahem.

Yep, just butter. Same on crumpets.

I eat a generous teaspoon on a scone, my SIL tends to go for clotted cream with a side of scone!

I'm with tenorladybeaker

I have this in my fridge...

As much as I can get on! Clotted cream and scones with my home made jam are the best 😋

Wow @VforVienetta - where did you get that from?

Tesco in Cornwall!!

Aww bummer I'm hundreds of miles away from there.

I have a huge dilemma with all of this. Born in Devon and living in Cornwall. I am relying on Theresa May to have made the cream/jam issue part of the Brexit negotiations so we know exactly where we stand on this matter.

Because I'm on the MN HFLC BootCamp, I'm enjoying clotted cream by the teaspoon(s) full - on their own

A friend and I had a scone with cream and jam in a new cafe recently and I was expecting the normal - uncut and possibly slightly warm scone, a pot of jam and a fcking enormous pot of clotted cream.
Instead it came to us not just ready cut, which is an abomination in itself but (brace yourselves) ready spread and then SANDWICHED TOGETHER!

So barely any filling at all. It looked like we were 5 years old and our mums had prepared them so we didn't eat too much. Boy it looked so sad.

We won't go back

You need to put that on Tripadvisor. People must be warned.

Eliza you're right, I think I will! Saving the world from Bad Afternoon Tea, one scone at a time...

Tellme even though you warned me to brace myself, my face was still like this . (Though I couldn't help laughing too)

How could someone who runs a cafe (and so presumably likes food) think that is acceptable??!

As much as the scone will hold.

Then lick the spoon.

Ooh, that’s a big one V!

Mine’s average size (and almost empty).

I think the question is "how much scone with your cream?"

Sorry but what the heck is up with your DP, it's a scone not a sandwich!

At least a tbsp per scone. Jam first though.

Well there’s never any left over.

Sorry but what the heck is up with your DP, it's a scone not a sandwich!

Exactly!! He's a blooming weirdo is what he is.

@tellmewhenthespaceshiplands you should definitely do a Trip Advisor review. That's awful, can't believe they thought it was acceptable to sell that! We don't even do that with 6 year old DSD

Thank you for this thread - I had to eat the last scone. Will deal with the fallout from DP later

There wouldn't be any of the 227g left over

None. Butter or jam for me.

OP your cream pot would do 2 scones here. 3 at a push.
