To keep everyone happy I'd cut the scone in half ,on one half I'd put jam then cream , on the other half cream then jam :-D

Scone, as in stone. First butter then I would put on jam then cream, but in the wider context what the h*ll does it matter.

Once in the stomach it all becomes churned up any way.

Just eat and enjoy, and both prepare your own scones in your own way ;-)

OK, so I'd never make an 'Agony Aunt' although I would probably qualify as an 'Ugly Uncle' :-D :-D :-D

:-D

It doesn’t matter in the long run but Mr Owl likes playing devils advocate. He will argue a point of view he doesn’t agree with just because everyone else says the opposite.

But the Cornish way is the logical way! :-D :-D
....and it's scone, as in 'gone'!

Not if you're from the North of England where we was taught to speak proper, like. :-P :-D

Had some today me dear they were ansom jam first cream in top if your from cornwall and other way round if your from Devon I have mine jam first that's the only way <3

Noo, Allan. I am Liverpool-born and I agree with Maggie. scone as in gone. :-D

Well I'm from the West Midlands (well since 1974 :-|) and agree with Allan and I speak very like Shakespeare as he belonged to the Midlands and Stratford is just over 20 miles from Brum, similar distance to me from Brum.

If I speak as Shakespeare surely that's an old English dialect therefore if I say scone as stone - note there's only 1 letter difference - then I am correct. ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Easiest way to solve this is just to pronounce it scoon like the Scottish palace :-D :-D

The scone of Scoon ;-) :-D :-D

My employer relocated from London's west-end to Exeter in 1991.

A smashing place to live. No regrets.

Mr Owl made cheese scones yesterday so is that jam and cream then :-0

:-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0

no soup Tawny ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Then you can argue which one :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Scone - stone. end of. West Mids origin
Scone - gone. Strictly southern.

Give it another ten years Tawny and Mr Ollie will be wearing his jam and cream as a hat :-D :-D

:-D

I have just had home made scones with jam and clotted cream. Jam on first, but my son in law put his cream on first.

Scone as in gone, and jam first

How about scone as in done?

Well Cornwall has the better clotted cream and wonderful ice cream. I always put a small amount of jam on after the cream, Needs a steady hand. Earl Grey tea.

Best of all though from Cornwall is a pint of Doom Bar and a real pastie.
Sooner the pubs reopen the better.

Cornishmen from Pt Isaac singing- one is a rellie of Rollo.

The best way to to eat your jam and clotted cream is not with a scone but with splits best things I can think of but Cornish scones come second ??????
