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

[Syrinx89]

YABU - Cream then jam
YANBU - Jam then Cream

@Beemail1 I use the National Trust recipe but I add a lot bit more cheese

www.nationaltrust.org.uk/recipes/cheese-scones

I went out for a fancy cream tea with DH. We were given enormous warm scones that were absolutely glorious. Because he is a wrong un, he put the cream on first, which melted into the scone leaving it soggy with no visible trace of cream. It looked fucking shit. The thing on top will be the dominate flavour and it should be lovely fresh cream.

Raspberry or blackcurrant jam

butter
jam
cream

I am seriously going to make/buy some scones later (which depending on the time I have) ... Anyone else?

@Syrinx89 deadly serious

Butter ,jam and then cream .. Born in Cornwall and we do it the right way !

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

Only if you are using the wrong cream.

My brother lives in Cornwall, his wife is from Devon. My brother has adopted the Cornish way, I don't know how his wife puts up with him.

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

Butter optional, then jam, then cream. This is so obviously the correct order given the relative viscosity of the ingredients. People saying otherwise are just showing off.

I'm cream first. If you have clotted cream it's harder to spread than jam, so if you put the jam on first then try and spread the cream it gets in a big mess. Dollop the jam on top of the cream!

I'm from the east Midlands so my opinion isn't worth much in this debate. But it's still the right way.

Oh and no butter. Also it's pronounced scown.

Butter jam then cream

Jam, cream and fresh strawberries or raspberries depending on the jam

@Waxonwaxoff0 scown!? to rhyme with crown?!?

I'm with thr majority

I'm with a lot of others and would have butter first, then jam, then cream on top.

If no butter was available I'd have cream, jam, cream.

Proper cheese scones (plural) hot from the oven with lots of butter

@UnexpectedItemInTheShaggingAre haha no! Sc-own as in "own".

@waxon I see! I was baffled!

I once had a cream tea, it said clotted cream on the menu but it was extra thick double, which is fine on fruit salad but does not belong on a scone. Bastards.

I'm on the border of Devon/Cornwall, my dad is from Devon and mum is from Cornwall. I've always had cream teas the Cornish way and in almost 40 years no one has ever been upset by this, I didn't even know this jam or cream first argument was a thing until I saw it being discussed on the internet a few years back!

Best cream tea I had was one with a St Clements Curd at a National Trust property in Cornwall!

I do both. Split the scone, do half Devon style, half Cornwall style.

Scown?

No no no no no.

Scon.

S-con.

To rhyme with gone, one, none.

Definitely no butter!

I'm with Rita
If clotted cream, then cream first. If whipped cream, then jam first. It's all about the textures and what spreads easiest etc.
