Re scone topping order

[ObiJuanKenobi]

Mine is the left, DPs is the right.
Who is BU?

Scone, jam then cream. Your dp is correct

DP is being U. The cream acts as the butter with the jam on top!

Yes that's what I thought! You would put jam and then butter on toast.

Definitely the one on the right

But as in all the previous threads about this you'll get a pretty even split of opinion.

Even though you're totally wrong

I'm in agreeance with your dp....looks yummy

The left. The cream is in lieu of butter. Obviously.

Sorry OP but the one on the right is the way I do it

Your dp sorry.

And yes I am now contemplating going to the shops for clotted cream and scones...

Depends if you are in Cornwall or Devon. Devon is cream on bottom. Cornish is jam on bottom

Spread the jam, dollop the cream!

I'm going to be one of those awful posters who asks a question and then disagrees with all of those with opposing views on this

You're both being unreasonable by arguing about it and posting pictures instead of just eating it!
Both are fine.

Apparently the Cornish way is jam then cream, whereas it cream then jam for Devon scones. I guess you both need to do another one but swap to see which tastes better 😉 !

Have you started both op?

Its Cornwall vs Devon. Devon (and you are right), cream then jam.

I'm in neither Devon or Cornwall but my grandma is from Teighmouth so must have got it from there.
I've just tried his and to be fair it's nicer more cream.

I'm from Devon so it's cream smothered then jam blobbed on top.

My OH is of Cornish roots, so he is the other way.

It tastes the same anyway, so just do what you enjoy!

(Anyway it works well as you're not both looking for the jam pot at the same time, right?).

JAM ON TOP, JAM ON TOP!
SHARE YOUR SCONES!

Jam then cream.

Any other way is just wrong. Completely.

#teamDP here too.

Jam then cream is correct!!
The other way just looks daft!

Jam then cream as otherwise the jam can slide off the cream or you don't get enough cream. The queen apparently agrees.
