Sainsbury's pictured a scone in Cornwall with jam and cream on top. The Cornish went mental. They do cream then jam.

In Devon it's the other way round.. which is the best way..?

Cream then Jam.

Just allows the Jam to shine through more

It’s really very simple. Jam is sticky. Obviously, that goes on first to stick it to the scone. Then a dollop of cream on top. Laws of scone physics, for goodness sake.

See, purely aesthetics and makes no sense.

I can confirm Tavistock is in Devon, on a clear day we can see the Cornish with their cream/ jam fiasco

Depends on how thick the jam and cream are, as to which way round they go.

A Devon cream tea has the cream sitting on top of the scone, then the jam on top of that. A Cornish cream tea, on the other hand, has the jam as the first ingredient on the scone, followed by the cream.

I am Devonshire and there is only one true way to serve scones, anything else should be outlawed x

Would you put jam on your toast and then butter on top

Cream first and then you can hollow out the middle for the jam to sit in.

Ps I'm not keen on cream teas so my argument is kind of invalid

No. Just no. Why is it the Cornish try and claim everything?

It was invented in Devon, hence that Devon way is correct. You can’t say “you invented it wrong, it should be like this”. Otherwise we’d have the Somerset pasty (meat on the OUTSIDE!!)

((I I’m not from Devon either ))

Omg just dribble a little of my wine laughing! Tavistock is actually one of my fave places with the best pub ever and I'm blessed, covid aside, to work there

Henry 8th said “if it’s raining anywhere in my kingdom, it’s raining in Tavistock”. Ironically, my office is in Truro and we’re things different I would be travelling down 3 days a week.

Top scone tip: make with buttermilk "

We will pass then lol as I travel up to work in Tavvie!

Cream first then jam.

If I had no cream it’d be butter first then jam.

Jam first then the cream, purely for logistical reasons. I couldn't give a shit about Devon or Cornwall. And before the Cornwall massive start, I also don't give a shit about Cornwall or Devon. Fair play to the person from Sainsbury's that came up with the idea for the scone photo. You made it onto the news, and you made it onto a Tom thread. Job done.

The real question is, is it pronounced scone or scon?

Would you spread butter on your toast then the Jam, or the other way around.

The cream on the scone is very much like the butter of the toast. It is there to soak into the scone soften it and prepare it for the tasty jam it will soon be recieving.

Spreading butter on jam would never work.

If you get the proper really good clotted cream that is stiff with a yellow crust on the top from the high fat content like you should have it's very difficult to spread it over the jam. The jam is thinner and not as sticky and will spread over the cream.

Other way around and the cream can slip off and end up in you're lap

For this reason is why cream go's on first plus it's possible to get the maximum amount of cream and jam on one half of a scone

As for the origin of the pasties well earliest on record is from France of a "paste" a round pie containing red meat usually venison, veal, beef or mutton and root vegetables made/cooked without a dish in the 1300s

Where as the earliest record of the pasty is in the Plymouth (Devon) in the early 1500s around 150 years later.

Been as Plymouth is only the width of the tamar river away from Cornwall and it been the major port of the area it's believed that the pasty recipe migrated in throughout the southwest from this port from France.

The cornish where well known for being shipwreckers and probably stole them from sinking ships from France and pass them off as their own
