Enjoying Scones, Is It Jam Then Cream, Or Cream Then Jam
In the beautiful Counties of Devon and Cornwall they have quite different ideas on how to prepare and eat a traditional Scone. In Cornwall they insist you have to spread the base of the scone with the jam first and then add a generous helping of fresh cream before placing the top-half of the scone on the top, while in Devon the locals always spread the cream on first and then add a topping of jam. Whichever method you prefer, you can’t beat the experience of eating a fresh, traditional scone with lashings of jam and cream, washed down with plenty of hot, strong tea.
