Scones. Jam then cream or cream then jam? I have solved it.

[IncompleteSenten]

In the interests of science, I put it to the test.

Jam first then cream or cream first then jam.

After extensive testing, I am happy to confirm that it makes no fucking difference whatsoever.

However, in the interests of science I will repeat the tests later on.

Oh, and just because I like to kick shit off on here...

It's scone to rhyme with throne, bone and zone.

No debate.

Jam first because then you can load the cream on top. Jam slides off of you out loads of cream on first

Purely on the pronunciation your wrong

And this!

Butter first, then cream then jam. Anything else is madness.

Cream then jam...cream acts like butter/cream cheese/mayo on a sandwich and that would always go on first.

And it's pronounced scone as in gone 😉

Agree, couldn’t give a flying one how you eat it but it’s scone to rhyme with gone, because you eat it and s’gone!

Jame first because if jam goes on top of cream, jam slides off.

Also jam then cream is a better taste experience because you get the carby comfort of the scone, followed by the tart fuity hit of the jam and then cream on the top of your palate so you get the lovely unctuous creamy notes at the top of your palate and in your nasal cavity.

And yes scone rhymes with throne.

Did you forget the butter?!
#TeamSCONN

Cream is the lightest, so it goes on top. Butter, then jam, then cream.

Devon people are weird

Scone to rhyme with throne. Scon so wrong and it’s Jam first, common sense imo

I speak as someone who grew up in the land of cream teas and thatched cottages.

Wrong pronunciation.
Wrong order of toppings.

But feel free to ignore me, the important thing is to eat them 🙂

DH - jam then cream and rhymes with cone.
Me - cream then jam and rhymes with gone.

DC - confused and traumatised by the ongoing disagreement and not particularly keen on cream teas (wtf?!)

This is the winner

Actually, the most important thing is that the jam is homemade. None of that supermarket gunk.

I believe in equality of outcome so I place the jam and the cream side by side in equal measures. Thus, neither jam nor cream is exploited or comes out on top. I believe this will make a better world for your children.

Here's how I do it.

Half and half - Then Twist.

Get a knife. Dunk in Jam, then kind of scrape it off with the right edge of the bottom half of the scone.
Get a knife, dunk in cream, wipe it off with left edge of bottom of scone.

Repeat with the lid of the scone

Put both halves of scone back together, twist them.

The twist mixes the cream and jam.
Take scone apart, eat lid first.

Cream is not the lightest if it is clotted cream. So: if clotted cream, put loads of cream on first, then blob the jam on top using a teaspoon. If whipped cream, obviously that's disappointing but you'll just have to put it on top of the jam or it'll get squashed.

Rhymes with gone.

You're. (You are.)

And you're wrong too.

I go with scone, then cream, then jam. Otherwise the jam acts as a shearing layer and the cream wants to slide off the jam.

Edit: Oh yes, but if it was whipped cream instead of clotted it would have to go on top.

YABVU just on pronunciation.

Those who add butter are dead to me.

only correct answer on the whole thread, jesus wept

Cream first because it’s like butter!!
Scone rhymes with gone, anything else sounds weird and made up.

DS12 puts jam on one half, cream on the other and then just puts them back together and eats it like a sandwich….

Butter?!! No, no way. You don’t use butter. That’s all sorts of wrong. On my scone (rhymes with gone) it’s jam first, cream on top.
