CW: Divisive Topic. Which is correct?

I apologise in advance that this chat topic is going to be so divisive.

I know that there are MNetters who are absolutely entrenched in their absurd, delusional world view on this topic, and others who are sane and rational, but it's really time that we settled this bitter argument for once and all.

Only one of these is correct.

Option 3) Jam only no cream, because clotted cream is utterly foul.

Option 4) Both are fine! Gosh, I wish I had a cream tea to hand right now.

Anything that involves fruit scones, cream and jam, is fine in any method, even deconstructed.

Eightdayz · 02/10/2025 16:03

Only absolute monsters put the jam on top.

HTH

Would anyone spread jam on toast, and then smear butter on top of that?

The cream is the dairy part, which goes directly onto the carb-piece, surely.

CW?

Clotted cream tastes like Satan's Nikes after a long day, so just jam is fine.

Wrong.
Butter. Jam. Then cream.
How on earth are you spreading jam on top of cream? It’s thicker. It domestic work on a practical level.
And why forego butter?

This is the only acceptable answer

Clotted cream isn’t the only type of cream.

I ask Jason to get off, politely, then I just spread the jam

It's much easier than marmite over butter 🤷
Or do you put marmite on first LIKE A MONSTER

Sorry - spotted Jason and evicted him and now you post makes no sense!
Butter then marmite.
Butter then jam. The cream is an extra. On top. As it is with any sweet item you add it to.

The denser substance goes on the bottom. Traditional clotted cream is solid, like butter, and trying to dollop it on top of slippery jam would be lunacy. If you're using sloppier cream, perhaps whipped cream, that would go on the top. I must say that clotted cream isn't what it was. 50 years ago you couldn't buy it easily outside the South West, and Devon clotted cream was thick and crusty. Now the commercial stuff that you can buy in any supermarket in the land is rather slimy, and a bit sweet, not the same at all. Still quite nice on Christmas pudding though...
