Devonshire or Cornish?

I think I do the Devonshire way, cream first then jam.

BUT is it scone (as in gone) or scone ( as in stone)? It's definitely not Scoon as that's a stoon under a throon!

[Kathy A]

Definitely scone as in gone and definitely jam before the cream

[Casablanca]

Scone gone and jam first so you can pile the cream on top!

[Lesley]

Haha - jam first, and I say scone as stone. It looks delicious by the way.

[Hazel]

I have posted the strawberries today! I like jam first!

[Call me Joe]

👌❤️

[Merrelyn]

Definitely scone as in gone, but sorry Jackie the jam goes on first :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Yumm!

[Shutterbug]

Very nice food shot. We definitely pronounce it as in stone. Hubby does make wonderful scones that I enjoy without anything. If I go to Fox & Goose, an English restaurant, then I get the cream.

[Sally Ings]

For me it's scone gone - and I don't mind if it's jam first or cream first. In fact you can even leave the jam off especially if you have access to Cornish clotted cream

[Mary Siegle]

Who cares, as long as it tastes good? Of course there are obviously folks who do care.

[Jacqueline]

I’m with Mary @mcsiegle who cares……it’s the taste that counts!

[Carole Sandford]

Cornish - jam then lashings of cream! and, it’s a scone ( like stone). ( you don’t throw stons)

[Pyrrhula]

Bon appetit.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond. On the whole area this is a spot.

[Susan Wakely]

Scone gone when layered with cream then Jam.

[katy]

How funny I just heard on the news that people pronounce it like gone in England. I have always pronounced it like stone. Either way this one looks delicious and I don’t think it matters what you put on first except which ever way it will stay on there better

[Kathy]

This looks so good.
Making these for a "tea party" next week. Have all my ingredients purchased.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Hmmm...I had never heard of stone as in gone; only scone as in stone. But in the end, I'd have to say the taste matters more and I'd start with the jelly (just a little) and then the cream (pile it on!!). Looks like this was a hit in the taste department- good shot!

[Babs]

Definitely scone as in gone and I put the jam on first and then pile the cream on top.

[Shutterbug]

@kjarn @casablanca @salza @wakelys Scone as in gone is how Mrs McCarthy says it in Father Brown.

[Valerie Chesney]

I'm with Babs @onewing definitely!

[Casablanca]

@shutterbug49 I love Mrs McCarthy and her award winning strawberry scones!

[JackieR]

@casablanca @shutterbug49 never watched it, the trailers make me cringe!

Thank you all so much! I love when a picture gives discussion.

I'm a scone/ gone girl!
The cream acts as the butter!!
You lot that do jam first are all oh so very wrong!!! 🙂🤣🥳

[Rob Z]

LOL - looking at all the Aussie replies it becomes pretty obvious what they're called over here.... And chunky jam first! :)

[JackieR]

@randystreat I did an afternoon tea and these, along with everything else, we're shop bought!! ( Well I assembled the trifle!!)
@robz hahaha

[Babs]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond ha ha don't care if I am wrong as long as it tastes good. We aussies have to put the jam on first because we are upside down here to you in the UK

[Hazel]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond

I agree absolutely with all you say!

[wendy frost]

I am a Scone -stone (Lincolnshire) and I always have butter, jam and a cream topping.

[JackieR]

@wendyfrost and a calorie free
@quietpurplehaze hahaha! We have to educate @jacqbb next month!!!

[Kathy]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond No shop sells those here. And how do they even put the cream on jam anyway? it must be more like whipped cream. I don't think the stuff I make is that loose.

[Valerie Chesney]

You sure stimulated discussion.. Such fun..
I don't have butter just thick jam & scoops of cream. ha-ha..
