To ask which you think is the correct way to eat a scone?

[Syrinx89]

YABU - Cream then jam
YANBU - Jam then Cream

Butter, jam, then cream

A Scot. Double fat me up.

Depends if you’re from Devon or Cornwall!

Jam then cream. Purely for logistics. Jam needs spreading. Cream needs dolloping.

I’m with @Winterwoollies

You cut it in half horizontally. Put butter, jam, cream on each half. Eat them separately

I'm from neither Devon or Cornwall.

However I think the cream is tastes best slathered on top! The jam is too sweet and dominates the tongue.

My perfect scone:

Fruit scone - warmed
Jam - strawberry
Clotted cream (Couldn't care less if cream is from Devon or Cornwall, just stick it on there in huge amounts!)
😍

If clotted, cream then jam
If whipped, jam then cream

This is going to be an absolute shitshow, there is no way I’m getting involved in this bag of badgers.

It will end worse than a Brexit thread when everyone’s been drinking Absinthe.

No jam, no cream, just butter. Lots and lots of butter.

Must have butter no matter what!

Goady fucker!

We live in Devon but eat them the Cornish way.. we've been banned from 106 tea rooms round 'ere!

I get annoyed at Dobbies they only have jam on the bottom half of the scone. WHATS THAT ABOUT!!!

I'm with the must have butter crowd.

Butter, then jam, then cream on top.

Halve it, butter and strawberry jam. Cream is gross

Oh and definitely NOT warm.

Neither.

The correct way is to make them with cheese, and the cheese has to be right the way through the mixture not just a plain scone with a bit of melted cheese on top, then slice in half and serve warm with the butter all melting.

Thick with butter!

Well obviously it’s jam then cream. Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply wrong!

@LordGarmadon I would love to think this was true 😂 "Quick, shut the cafe doors... The HEATHENS are on their way!"

This is the sort of debate that ruins friendships. It's cream first. Jan first is just ridiculous.

Butter, jam then cream. Is there any other way ??

I can't choose! I thought I knew (cream first, as it's the butter equivalent) but now I visualise it, all I can see is the cream being dolloped on top.

Being gluten free, I haven't put it into practice for years. I think I'd have to go cream-jam-cream, and hope no one is watching

Ooooh 69% for jam and cream so far. Sorry there is no butter option. This is what Sunday nights are made for!

@LightenUpSummer Are you one of those people that do both ways on either side of the scone?

Neither. Cut in half, just butter on one half, butter then strawberry jam on the other. (I eat hot cross buns and scones the same. One half with just butter, the other half with butter and strawberry jam. And crumpets I have one just butter the other butter and jam)
