Devon Versus Cornwall, the Great Scone Debate

If you have ever been on holiday to the South of England and visited Devon or Cornwall, you may well have enjoyed a cream tea or two. In Cornwall the traditional preparation of a fresh scone ready to eat would be to apply the butter, then a thick layer of strawberry jam, followed by a dollop or two of fresh clotted cream. In Devon, the preparation order is slightly different, with the butter still going first but then the clotted cream and lastly the jam. Enjoying a delicious cream tea in either county, you will no doubt have taken part in a lively debate on which method is correct.
