Cream Tea - Jam or Cream first on scones?

These are not things in my part of the world. Giraffe seems more accurate.

My household tigers tell me they don’t care for bread.

I was looking for double cream at the store and didn’t find any. I blame all of you for the results:

Now I have to make scones again… oh noes!

Wow I’ve never seen clotted cream in a jar… I’m suspicious it may not be the same as my idea of Devonshire clotted cream… let us know how it goes!

Is that similar to the proper Cornish stuff?

Something seems wrong. It won’t have that tasty crust.


Im having to sub this - its certainly spreadable, not pourable!

We do not talk about that place. There is evil cream there that does not sleep…

The harred stuff in the us seems to be the same as the stuff I have had in England.

I’ve had two brands. One was made in Cornwall; the other in Exeter. I don’t think I could have told them apart. But I am just a tank.

Roddas the business when it comes to clotted cream.

I never put jam or cream on a scone (sconn) - just butter thick enough to take a dental impression. But i’m too far north to really have the fiery passion behind the debate that Devon/Cornwall feel.
If forced it would be jam first then dollop of cream.

I’ve never seen clotted cream in a jar like that, how was it?

The roundup of creams around the world was really good - i’d add the difference between the extra thick double cream that’s spooned and the double cream that’s poured is how much it’s homogenised. Both are about 48-52% fat. If i remember the process correctly the extra thick cream’s homogenised at a higher pressure for smaller fat globules which don’t bind and make it thicker. Been about 10 years since i worked at the dairy though

Today’s Google doodle is for ‘scone’, at least in the US. (Why? )
They have refused to take a side, like the quizlings they are.
