No way Hosay,the jam would slide off!

You always have the jam on top,the red contrasting with the white of the cream makes it look far more inviting and tasty.That's cooking 101 with the belief that you taste through the eyes first.Never have I seen a top chef or even just when I've seen scones served anywhere have I witnessed the cream being placed on top.

Not that I have had em in years but I like to spread that Jam so there is a sugary treat with every bite.

I can't believe anybody would put the jam on top! you need a nice sturdy base to spread the jam on then lashings of cream. As thearg says above surely the jam slides off the cream?

[TheGayTent]

not if you use thick clotted cream

[TheGayTent]

Oh and anyone who uses anything other than strawberry jam is just plain wrong.

[mrtourette]

What kind of degenerate heathen would put the jam on first? This country really is going down the shitter.

[windy_miller]

Yep the cream should be so thick there is no chance of slippage.

Jam on top. Every time.

I had one last night, jam was first but i put jam on top too. Best of both.
