Scones

[Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth]

With Clatty's historical evidence for scon and every person without a bumbling lower middle class affectation saying scon I think we can finally bring this thread to a close. Thank you for your participation.  Bye

But we haven't decided which order the cream and jam go on.

[Brian Freeze]

How about premixing the jam n cream so it doesn't matter which goes on first and everyone is happy?

I believe the culinary term Pink Panther is already in use or we could call it that.

Mrs F very kindly made me some heart shaped scones for Vday but could only find Elmlea so whipped that instead. Apparently it weren't easy (or good, but I wasn't going to be ungrateful)

I can't believe you're all this committed to pretending scones are nice. Just eat something nice instead

Solidly middle class and Southern here - and I pronounce it Sconn.

Is there any topic so unimportant that gets people so angry as the jam/cream order thing?

(Jam first obviously you COMPLETE FUCKING CREAM-FIRST CUNT)

Why would you put cream on anything? Duh I put cream on scones and milk on bread and ice cream on toast and cheese on the ceiling.

I put butter and jam on a scone. IN THAT ORDER

[ros vulgaris]

We usually just use butter alone where I'm from.

[Senior Baiano]

We use cum

Mispreadgenation!

Jam is denser than cream so obviously the cream goes on top, and anyone who says different is broken in the soul.

I live in Cornwall near the Devon border and the jam/cream thing was a fun bit of local banter but it has now become unacceptably mainstream and I'm completely sick of it. It's jam first though obviously.

And quite right too.

Scone update:

They were bucking frilliant.

Goats cheese and grana padano were the favourite but the smoked cheddar were a close second.

Saw recipe suggestions for either cayenne pepper or mustard powder in the mix so thought "fuck it" and did both. 100% will do again.

Definitely better warm so heated some up and wrapped them in tin foil, a tea towel and an insulated lunchbox and had them in a picnic.

None left now.
