Sigh……. . Ffs, this was discussed ages ago and pure physics dictates you can get more cream on the scone without the jam underneath, the cream is the underpinning of the whole structure and the whole point of the exercise.
It’s called a CREAM tea boys and girls not a feckin jam tea.
Besides it looks better with a splash of colour on the top seemples.
I’m with poo plop on this one.

Surely the ambient air temperature is an essential consideration? Jam is going to be a lot more stable than cream in hot weather.

Fair point, but it’s an integral structural issue so must not be ignored, besides with a statutory height of a minimum of two inches of Devon delight it’s not really hidden.

Obviously this has to be taken into consideration Andrew a bit the same as with a Hockings ice cream (the best in the country).
You get it down yer neck as quickly as possible regulating the speed of scoff proportional to the ambient temperature, seemples.
By the way this is a skill acquired over a lifetimes endeavour.

Hockings better than Kelly’s?
Hmmmm………

No question about it, whilst I have enjoyed Kelleys, and yes, it’s very nice, I’m not sure you have sampled Hockings, a local make.
A taste so flavoursome if not imbibed with caution can cause ones nipples to explode with delight. .

Yes but where does the butter go?

Just asking, after all personally I'm not keen on either jam or cream on my cheese scones.

Ok I'll let you off in that case

2'' of cream on one half of the scone (pronounced scon rhyming with gone) then as much jam as humanly possible on the other half and eat the sodding thing ya bunch of numpties

Squish the two halves together if you must but that risks spillage (hangable offence) so better to bit one half then the other for the full experience

And for those hard of thinking it really doesnt matter which you do first just turn it over

There’s no point coming on here and offering up sensible solutions to anything, you’ll just make matters worse.

Butter? On ice cream?

You're a philistine

That he is.

The way I see it is that the cream has to go on the scone, pronounced to rhyme with bone, first because it holds the subsequent jam in place. If the jam goes on the scone, rhyming with tone, first then the cream might slide off.


Fact.

 

[derek kelly]

If you pronounce it “scon” then the filling doesn’t slide off.

if you put the cream on first the jam will slide off, I know I've got an ology I'm a scientist

 

[sr71caspar]

If you pronounce it “scon” then it doesn't matter what you put on it first, as no one knows what it is that you want to put jam/cream, cream/jam on.

Ain't that the truth.

 

[Nige F]

Does it matter how you pronounce scone,or if the jam goes on first or the cream......mine never last long enough on the plate to worry about it.....

Of course it matters, try going into Betty’s in Harrogate & asking for a scone (rhyming with cone) & they’d say “gerrart ya pretentious Southern twat”
