To view "jam first" types with deep suspicion?

[CoffeeandScones]

On scones, that is (was a tangent on another thread, inspired by someone objecting to the idea of coffee, not tea, with scones).

I'll take the tea point. But it's cream first on a scone, then jam. Yes, it's harder to construct, but that's part of the beauty of its creation. A healthy bed of rich clotted cream, atop which you delicately and lovingly rest a nestling dollop of rich ruby red jam.

That's a proper scone, surely.

[Elsiequadrille]

As children, we were always told scone to rhyme with stone was a bit like 'pardon' (i.e. affected, apparently) and we shouldn't use it.

[Margot7]

Marmite for me!

[CreatureRetorts]

No jam. No cream.

Just butter. Lots of it.

[Trills]

I don't actually care what other people do to their scones as long as they don't claim that etiquette dictates anything other than "don't eat with your mouth open" and "don't get jam in the cream (or vice versa)"

[milkglass]

Butter then jam then cream - That is the only way

[CMOTDibbler]

If clotted cream, then scone, cream, jam. If its whipped cream, then butter, jam, cream.

[AltogetherAndrews]

scone ( to rhyme with on)

Butter, lots

Jam, raspberry or apricot.

Unless it it a treacle scone, then it's just salty butter.

No to cream of any description.

That's how it is done in Scotland, we don't hold with southern affectations like cream on a scone. But then, we will probably try to deep fry one eventually.

[slapandpickle]

I don't care what people put on their scones as long as mine is butter then jam then cream. Yes IABU to have both butter and cream.

Also it is skon to rhyme with gone - not scoooooowwwnnn. Latter is v hyacinth bucket imo.

[Crinkle77]

Sorry but jam first and deffo no fruit. yuck

[2rebecca]

Jam first then cream on top.

[VestandKnickers]

Is befatten a word now?

[FrankelInFoal]

No jam - tis the work of the devil! Just lots and lots of cream or butter.

[MissFenella]

Jam first is the only logical option

[ZingWidge]

I couldn't care less which way, all I care that it comes with a big mug of hot chocolate.

[CoTananat]

Befatten is a perfectly cromulent word.

[Viviennemary]

I do jam first. Then you can spread the cream on top. Rather that make a gooey mess trying to spread jam over the cream.

[Burmobasher]

Butter - jam - cream, surely there's no other way?

[oldandcrabby]

For uz Devonians 'tis cream first then jam, my maid. They Cornish are heathen.
Just don't get into the pronunciation of the word 'scone'.

[ClaraOswald]

Clotted cream then jam. The clotted cream takes the place of butter.

Anyone who uses whipped cream needs to be taken out and splatted with a custard pie.

[cornypepper]

it's jam first

[BistoBear]

Butter then Jam OR Cream then Jam. Never butter and cream! Also, never fruit scones!

And, scone rhymes with Ron!

[neffi]

Butter, then jam, then cream. Obviously.

[JamNan]

Butter, jam, cream

[IrisWildthyme]

Jam first is silly, cream first is silly.

Generous layer of butter.
At least 5mm thick strawberry jam (only strawberry. no other berry will do)
Then at least 7mm thick clotted cream

Anything else, and you just don't get it.
