FabSwingers.com forum: Top or bottom?

By (user no longer on site) OP

We've just indulged in a cream tea.. Lovely fruity scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam!

So jam on top and cream on the bottom?

Or jam on the bottom and cream on top?

Which is the right way ?

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

From bottom up:

scone, jam, cream, jam, scone.

Push down, open mouth, insert.

Jam on the top and the bottom because its spread over the whole scone. Then cream in the middle

Please excuse my ignorance, but if your scone (s-gone) turns up creamed/jamed the wrong way, cant you just turn it upside down?

Hey presto? Or am i missing something?

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Cream used in the same way as butter on the scone and then a small dollop of jam on top. The opposite for the other side.

Spot on..originally clotted cream was used instead of butter..it is easier to spread on the hard surface of a scone..followed by the jam..us Devonians are practical buggers !!

Cut scone in half and butter each half. A scoop of jam on each and then a dollop of cream on top.

It's because I prefer to put the cream and jam on myself - a very little bit.

Do you eat the two halves if the scone separately or do you have a sort of scone sandwich ?

Always prefer a jammy bottom.....

And cream on the top can't be sneezed at for anyone!

My first cream tea was in Devon as a child so I always do it the Devon way and not the Cornish way.

Hard clotted cream on first makes sense. Otherwise it's butter, then jam, then cream - we like excess!!

Cut in two (the scone) jam both sides and a min of 4.5 cubic inches of cream.
