Cream tea. Jam first or cream?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

When you have a cream tea and you're preparing your scone (pronounced 'scown” not 'scone” do you do it the (Cornish) way. Jam first then clotted cream on top

Or cream first then jam (Devon).

I’ve shared one scone with someone tonight. I do mine the correct Cornish way, they do the Devon way. We both think our own way is best.

Jam first. Anyone who does it otherwise is a witch and should be burned at the stake!

There's an easy solution, cut a very thin slice off the top and bottom of the said Scone then who knows which way up it has been made

My preference is for the Cornish method; My reasoning is that as the clotted cream is thicker in consistency, it serves as a cohesively more stable ‘bed’ for the jam as it were.

I’m probably overthinking this....
