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.

Cream first is for savages. Cream only goes on your bottom if you have a problem.

Scone rhymes with phone, tone, bone, loan.

If you pronounce scone that way OP, no wonder you don't know which way to eat it.

It's jam first. When does cream ever not go on top?

I adore scones
Jam first then cream
Rhymes with gone in my world
Jam and Philadelphia is nice too( in that order)

What kind of heathen would think whipped cream is in any way acceptable here? Outrageous!

Cream first

☝️This.

Eat the jammy ones how you like.

But you are missing out because the best scone is a cheese scone. Spread with butter, topped with cheese and a dollop of chutney.
Or just warm and fresh from the oven.

What devilry is this??

Wow OP you're saying throne, bone and zone really wrong

Purely on the grammar, you’re wrong!

Jam first because then you can pile on the most enormous amount of clotted cream. The cream needs to be gravity defying.

It totally depends on what type of cream! You cannot spread clotted cream on jam.

No, all wrong.

Jam, cream, then more jam!!

Butter (optional), then jam, then cream. And YABVU on the pronunciation. Rhyming it with 'throne' is very Hyacinth Bucket.

"Spread"? You mean ladle?

I do one side of each, just to be fair.

Don't care how it's pronounced.....I use both!

But, its butter, jam (preferably seedless, so more like a jelly) clotted cream then fresh strawberries.

I'm Yorkshire!

This is the correct answer. Ten points.

The end.

This. Cream first makes no sense ( sorry Devon or Cornwall) I've always put clotted cream on jam. It helps it stick

Anyone else find that the amount of cream you usually get is so disappointing? I gave up on cafe/tea room cream teas as there is never enough cream for both halves, or maybe I'm just greedy!

That's settled. I'm getting scones with jam and cream (jam first!) tomorrow for breakfast 😁

I just don't understand scones anyway. Too heavy for a snack and not substantial enough for a meal. They just don't fit into a neat category for anything. Just what are they?

Cream then jam. The cream is instead of butter - you wouldn't put butter on top of jam would you you animal

Cream first. Cream is thicker than jam so when you spread it over jam it just looks messy.

I'm still traumatised by the last thread on this, but I would like to offer, for consideration of the house, the following:

Honey first, then cream. (Proper clotted cream, and as much as physics allows, plus a smidge more)

I know, I know, but I had it a while ago againt some serious reservations as a proper Cornish woman and Oh. My. God. It was amazing.

Splits can fuck off though. Most disappointing thing in creation.
