Thats not the Cornish way though.

But I would never put jam on a fruit scone. As some in my family do. Only on a plain one.

I know, but it seems logical to me. If I had toast and jam I would not put the jam on first then the butter.

edited: would not put the jam on 1st

Isn't the charm of English ways in their illogical nature? It is for me, anyway

Thats my logic too.

It is quite difficult to smear clotted cream onto jam
