Lots of people love a scone ….
Usually served topped with jam and cream
Do you say ….
Scone as in bone
Or
Scone as in gone
Age old question …..
I say scone as in bone…….
Anyway, as folks from the UK will tell you there is a huge debate that is ongoing about whether it should be jam on first then the cream …..or ….cream on first then the jam.
To me that doesn’t really matter as long as that scone gets into my belly .
What’s your choice ?

I say scone as in bone, and if I ever hear an American say scone as in gone I will mock them mercilessly. That’s fine for people not from here, but we sound like posers when we do that.
I haven’t had a scone in years, but I prefer a little cream. However, the last time I ate one (at Nonna’s Bakery) it only had raspberry jam (I think).

Lol
I know some of our overseas chums are gullible
But surely nobody will believe this
Huge debate haha like as a nation out main worry is what goes on a scone first
Never mind the small boats, dodgy Nigel or tiny Tot Tommy Robinson , and the latest terror plot, what's the etiquette when piling stuff on a scon or scone lol
Let me add this to the mix
Cut Scone in half
On one half spread with Butter, then top with raspberry jam, home made of course
On the other half spread it with butter and raspberry jam
Apply cream to the top of both halves.
Enjoy
I might email Question time tomorrow and see if the panel will give their opinion although I rather doubt the Greens will eat butter or cream given they are all vegans only good at causing havoc with jobs on this relentless charge to net zero
