Scones

Jam on first or clotted cream?

[suewhistle]

I'm surprised you even have to ask.. With cheese scones neither..  (Jam..)

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Jam first by tradition. However, I think it tastes better the other way. Although I fear social pariah status if suggesting that in a local cafe.

[trousers]

Dairy first, topping on top. Obviously.

... in Cornwall.

No cream - fooking thick sick

[Manuel]

It is easier to put cream on a layer of jam than vice versa.  I don't care about the politics, it just makes more sense.

No cream or jam, butter only, on cherry scones.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Fruit scones, with little orange bits in, are my faves. Only a little of anything with those as are so nice.

What flavour jam with the scone?

This.

Only mongs (probably from Devon) would try and battle physics doing it the other way.

Next you’ll be asking whether carrots should go in a Cornish pasty.

Savoury in one end, sweet in the other ?

Are you still talking about pasties?

I absolutely love scones with cream, jam and a proper cup of tea in a china cup. Nothing quite like it.

Skirt, potato, onion and swede. No debate!

Back to scones - never understood why McDonald’s etc don’t have the biscuit (scone) breakfast offering as they do in the US.

Your mind works in very strange ways.

Because nobody in the UK would tolerate American "gravy".

Tea first or milk first?

[Picard]

Good thing as we are writing about scones we don't have to worry about the pronounciation.

Been universally accepted that it is skon.

Once they have been scoffed, they're scone.
