Cream teas. This has been a debate for I imagine centuries,
who makes the best cream teas, Cornwall or Devon. The only difference being
that in Cornwall, the jam goes on the scone and then the cream goes on top, whereas
in Devon, the cream goes on the scone and then the jam goes on top. The
question is, which way is the best way or is it just down to preference?
I like to test things for myself so (for research purposes
only!) I bought some scones (with raisins in of course as they are the best ;))
some strawberry jam and some cream. I then made a typical Devon scone and then
a typical Cornish scone and tried both, cleansing my palate with a good old
British brew of course!
To be honest, I thought both were lovely but my
favourite was the Cornish, with a little cream on top but I like to smother the
scone with jam but couldn’t do this as easily when putting the cream on first.
I would definitely recommend that everyone does their own experiment though
just to see if you agree with me or not!
