Please settle an argument with DP and I

When having a scone do you put the jam on first and then the cream, or the cream on first and then the jam?

And do you pronounce scone like “Scoan” or ”Scon”?

Butter, jam, then cream.
And scon.

Butter, jam, cream. Scone to rhyme with gone

Cream then jam (like butter and jam on toast)

Normally like scoan but tend to swap and change

Jam
Cream
Scone [scon]

No butter, jam first then clotted cream, it rhymes with gone.

Cream then jam

Cream then jam (lived in Devon). Scone rhyming with gone

I only have jam on mine but It can go on either way depending on whether you do it the Cornwall way or the Devin way :-)
I pronounce it as Scon!

Devon I meant

Buttering a scone before the jam and cream?! That’s just added a whole new curve ball to the argument

Oh yes and rhymes with gone.

Jam, cream, scon.

Although cream, jam, scon is also acceptable.

Butter, jam, cream, fresh strawberries.

I pronounce it both ways.

Cheese ones are best, with extra cheese. Obviously!

Jam first, definitely.

And scon.

Jam
Cream
Scone, if it was meant to be Scon it would be spelt scon!

@Madbengalmum then why is gone not spelt gon?

Cream then jam.
Scon.

The Cornish way of course ...jam then lots of clotted cream and I say scon rhyming with gone.

Absolutely no butter! Jam with lots of cream on top. It is scon as in gone.

Devonshire way and scone (to rhyme with cone).

Butter
Jam
Cream

Scoan not scon

Lazypuppy, cone is not spelt con is it.

cream jam scon (gone)

Jam then cream. Never heard of putting butter on it as well! I love dairy and I’m a greedy so-and-so but that’s a bit much even for me!

As for butter, jam, cream AND strawberries ...!!

And pronounced ‘scon’

Cream, then jam.

Scone to rhyme with gone but don’t have an issue with the other pronunciation.
