Just. No.

Butter does not go with cream and jam.

Cream first, then jam. Because you use the cream instead of butter and would never put butter on after jam.

And this is not a debate that should raise its ugly head ever. Because like sex, it's subjective.

There are 2 ways 2 do it

1. The Devon Way:

Cream first - then jam. Split the scone in half that them as 2 separate pieces- don't join them together.

NO Butter

2.The Wrong Way

The cream tea was actually invented in Devon (Tavistock, to be precise), when monks used to hand out sweetened bread with jam and thickened cream to passing travellers.

Devon invented it, so their method is the right one - cream then jam.

According to Debretts, the correct etiquette is to do it for the location you are in - Cornwall jam first - Devon - cream first, outside of those counties it is cream first that is considered that the Devon method is the most practical and neatest. However the real etiquette is not cutting the scone with a knife but by pulling bite sized pieces then adding the cream and jam, always from the plate, never the container to that piece.

Theoretically it does matter? as fat (cream) on the tongue subdued later flavours

The concept of a palette cleanser is to remove fats from the taste buds

However which tastes better is completely up to the individual

Suggesting right or wrong is futile

You need to assess the working properties of the scone,jam and cream.

The scone has to be firm enough to be spread upon. Let's assume it is. But some can be quite delicate.

Anyway. You have to spread whichever is the firmest next, either the cream or the jam. Otherwise disaster follows.

So clotted cream is firmer than whipped, which is firmer than spray on cream.

Jams vary in consistency. Jellylike ones being quite firm, homemade could be poured onto your scone.

So get all the ingredients on your plate and do some preliminary testing. Then you will avoid a mess.

I'm not bothered where anybody is from. I put jam on first because is stick to the scone. The cream goes on top of that because the jam doesn't get pulled off the scone like cream does if I did it the other way round.

here

if you put the cream on first its difficult to get a good spread of jam.

Jam first (generally should be more solid than the cream) followed by big dollops of cream.

What you have missed off is the fact the whole operation should start with a good layer (minimum 1cm) of cold butter, then the jam, then the cream (thats the scottish way

)

You cut your scone in half, strawberry jam on both halves and then topped with clotted cream. Perfect.

Butter? Nope, noooo

Its It's actually no secret

So obviously the only cream to be using is clotted cream

My experience is any good clotted cream will ALWAYS be both more viscous and turgid than any quality jam which actually should if fruity without gelatin should not be like a jelly

The facts kind of answer the debate

Using quality ingredients the clotted cream will always be thicker and more supportive than any quality jam

That on top of the fact that cream on the pallet first reduces a taste sensation of a jam pretty much seals it

Thus regardless of preference using quality jam and cream then the jam MUST go on top unless spread like butter

Obs if one uses shit soft cream and cheap shit jelly like jam the opposite is true

Erm seem my post above I explained it clearly thanks

Proper clotted cream is vastly more supportive than proper less viscous jam

However the

Spread both halves an put them together only works if you eat it with a top n bottom almost impossible without

Dislocating the jaw

Squidge mess

So it's pretty clear

Those who use cheap nasty jam and cream will always jam first

Anyone who uses quality dense clotted cream will always cream first

"Just. No.

Butter does not go with cream and jam.

Cream first, then jam. Because you use the cream instead of butter and would never put butter on after jam.

And this is not a debate that should raise its ugly head ever. Because like sex, it's subjective. "

I think your subjective concept here has fallen on deaf ears. You’re right but the box is now opened

Spread each half with one side jam one side cream....

.... reassemble the scon(e) with the halves turned 180 degrees.

One side has jam on cream, other has cream on jam.... everyone's happy.

Yes it is, I spread the good jam lol onto the scone then get my spoon and dollop the clotted cream all over the top, no need to spread just pile it high enough that it’s on your nose when biting it, perfect

Split the scone into 2 halves. Put jam on each and top with clotted cream. Much easier and more ladylike when eating along with the rest of your Afternoon Tea.
