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

[Syrinx89]

YABU - Cream then jam
YANBU - Jam then Cream

Butter, no jam, no cream.

And plain scones only, no fruit or cheese ones.

The cream takes the place of the butter so cream first then jam.

YABU because I can’t get clotted cream here [sob]

No jam! Just butter and cream

@D4rwin. You love to live don't you! .

Every day - not ideal

For a treat - the best, give it a go!

My user name makes it pretty clear which way I have voted - jam then cream!

Cut in half, clotted cream, then jam on each side, eat separately.

This isn't really an YABU or YANBU. It depends on how you were brought up.

Cornwall - jam before cream
Devon - cream before jam

I've been to Devon far more times than Cornwall, so the Devonian way is more familiar to me than Cornish.

I’m Devonian so eat it the correct way.

DH is Cornish so does the jam first.

Our daughter doesn’t like scone!!!! 😲

Don’t get us started on pronunciation of scone....

I don't care how you eat it as long as you don't pronounce it scone to rhyme with stone. That's a capital offence.

Jam first. But then again I am a Cornish maid

Don’t care. Tastes the same either way - but logistically, it’s easier to spread cream first then add a dollop of jam from a spoon.

Some filthy pp said they don't like them warm. Where can I report this?

I just got into a fight with DH about this (Cornish and I should have known better than to ask).

Fresh, warm and slathered with honey and cream, according to him. Jam is the abomination.

Jam one side, cream the other then sandwich together.

Don’t give a shit as long as my mouth is full of scone, jam and cream

There's no 'right' way, it's however you want it!

Butter, jam then cream.

I cream then jam.

Simply because I think it's a shame to hide the beautiful colour of the jam under the cream - in short it's an aesthetic preference.

That said I'd not turn one down if jammed then creamed.

Cream first then jam- means the jam is dolloped, and not too sweet. Anything else is a travesty.......

Sorry to freak people out but in Australia we very often use whipped cream on scones. Clotted cream or other spreadable cream is not as widely available. So it's definitely jam then cream!

Devon here!

Hoik Do you have recipe for your cheese scones?

Clotted cream first as I can’t see how you put the cream on top of the jam

YABU. The correct answer is with a cup of tea (or lashings of ginger beer!)
