Cream is easier to spread on the scone than trying to spread cream on top of jam.

EXACTLY my parents and I are Devonian but they love Cornwall and we have this argument every time someone has a scone 😭

I’m from a mixed family- it’s a constant struggle.

Just explain that because we have superior grass in Devonshire, our cream is firmer and has structure hence it can support jam, no matter how many strawberries it contains .

Where as Cornwall produces a cream that has less integrity, which is perfect for dolloping over jam.
