Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
over the weekend (in Devon) - learned that apparently (for a cream-tea), the Cornish put the jam on first and then the cream, and Devonians put the cream on first, then the jam... it is (apparently) a subject of much controversy down in those parts...

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Can you put jam on top of cream? Sounds a messy how-do-you-do to me

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
only clotted cream - which is of a thick spreadable consistency - kind of like the consistency of cream cheese... which is hard to spread on top of jam! the clotted cream (for devonians) replaces the butter (and they use more of it!)Bruce Rioja wrote:Can you put jam on top of cream?

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
If you put the scone in half and then spread clotted cream on one side and jam on the other before folding the two halves together you negate all these issues and create, in effect, a Scone Sandwich.

Ahh, but in what order would you apply the jam and the cream to their individual sides?Gary the Enfield wrote:If you put the scone in half and then spread clotted cream on one side and jam on the other before folding the two halves together you negate all these issues and create, in effect, a Scone Sandwich.

Instantaneously applied using separate knives held by Penelope and Monica Cruz. I would watch every subtle nuance in skin tone change as they scooped a huuuuge dollop each and spread the viscous foodstuffs over the freshly spliced bed of receptive flour based ambrosia.Bruce Rioja wrote:Ahh, but in what order would you apply the jam and the cream to their individual sides?Gary the Enfield wrote:If you put the scone in half and then spread clotted cream on one side and jam on the other before folding the two halves together you negate all these issues and create, in effect, a Scone Sandwich.
They would, of course, be naked.
Caliente!

Blimey, GtE has obviously thought about this in great detail... Clearly they make the required grade height wise!

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Its jam then cream. Only a fool would make work for themselves by doing it the other way round.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

All depends if you're having a jam and cream scone, or a cream and jam scone.Bruce Rioja wrote:Ahh, but in what order would you apply the jam and the cream to their individual sides?Gary the Enfield wrote:If you put the scone in half and then spread clotted cream on one side and jam on the other before folding the two halves together you negate all these issues and create, in effect, a Scone Sandwich.

A Penelope and Monica sandwich, or a Monica and Penelope Sandwich...

A Gary the Enfield sandwich, as it's named after the filling.
