Following on from Hanky Panky's milk before or after thread - another in the same vein that has seen perfectly good friendships break down in the past:
When you have a cream tea and you're preparing your scone (pronounced 'scone' not 'scone' of course)* do you do it the PROPER way (Cornish) of jam first then clotted cream on top - or the frankly WRONG way of cream first then jam (like those strange types across the border in Devon)
And of course 'scone' is pronounced 'Skown' not 'Scon' otherwise you're definitely a wrong 'un.
I'm right aren't I? Let me know if you disagree so I can block you  |

"It's Scone.
I spent my yoof in Devon so it's cream first (it is the buttery bit after all) and then jam. Ideally a little strawberry on top to finish it off.
"
Definitely a wrong 'un right here .. |

"I now down to you Dan you are correct however I never put the top back on, I have two halves both loaded with jam and clotted cream
Hell yeah of course! That's the proper way! No 'lid' .. 2 halves laden with jam (first!) then cream! "
Definitely each half separate and jam first then cream.
How the hell does the jam stay on otherwise?

"Scone as in own for a start.
Jam first then cream and currents not plain.
That is the law. "
Close the thread! HighHeels has nailed it! GOT to be a sultana laden scone (sk-own) then jam then cream (NO butter mind!!).
It should be statutory law .. If we get 100,000 signatures haven't they got to debate it in Parliament? |

Works for me. Deffo no butter, how jolly foolish of me to have overlooked this in Scone Protocol. |

"It's definitely scone!!
Are you sure it's scone!? Lots of people disagree and think it's scone.
I'm firmly in the scone camp, me."
I'm afraid I'll have to disagree |

Its pronounced 'scon' and jam first then topped with cream. I must admit though, I do prefer them fresh out of the oven, still warm and with plenty of 'proper' butter. |

Ooh controversial!!!!
I'd say 'Scon' was the posh way - us simple country boys (and I was called a country bumpkin t'other day by a fellow Fabber for pure legitimacy ) say 'Skown' .. I think you must be a posh Northerner |

Yep. I say it the common scone like in gone. Not the long posh version of scone like in own or bone.
Two halves with strawberry jam and then cream on top.
This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth !!! |

Well my lover, as Ive a few generations family connection to Falmouth, I would say cream on top. However, havin been raised an emmet I gets in a muddle that way and it slides right off see. What I do out of loyalty to both sides of my family is do one half Kernow, one half t'other. Ansum!
It's pronounced SKONN cos you look down and wonder where it skonn |

Ya don't get thunder before lightening so it must be cream first on a scone pronounced to rhyme with 'cone'.
Oh, and the scone (pronounced to rhyme with 'cone') should be a well risen containing little dried fruit And served slightly warm from the oven rather than microwaved to within an inch of its life.
Hmmmm....I want one now... |
