yup..
I don't want to know if it's sc-ones or sc-owns.
the real question is..
jam then cream or cream then jam?
or and do you also put butter on them?
so butter, jam cream or
butter, cream jam?
oh and it's time for scones all round the year, not just a summery thing..
oh and if want to be proper hardcore, butter, cream then black treacle..
sorts out the men from the boys.

Butter, cream, and then jam. Nothing to do with the taste, just presentation. And a cup of good quality tea from a china pot with milk and a little sugar.

controversial cyco!
I think is boils down where it's served...
One's a Cornish scone and one's a Devonshire scone
fresh cream Lee? i do hope you mean fresh clotted cream? it just ain't ball if you're not using clotted cream..
just had me a nice fruit scone

I'd have cucumber sandwiches too if I wasn't allergic to cucumber. It makes me come out in a rash and suffer flatulence which is rather distressing for my guests as I'm sure you can imagine.

defo the jam then the cream.... i mean spreading the jam on top of the cream is gonna be messy
cream would be pushed/squashed off the scone, unless you just put a lump of jam on the cream without spreading it 
presentation would/does look better with jam FIRST!
some nice whipped cream (not the can whipped cream) i mean the normal cream, fresh, but whipped your self, or thickened cream...... if not jam and cream combo, its just butter on its own......... geez Mum hasnt made these in yonks. I know what im telling her in the morning

Decent quality butter is all a good scone needs IMO, no need to over-egg the pudding with anything else

@ Fav Fruit FTW
@ Leeboy, i dont get veggie's. One things for sure, i didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian..
Posted by Cycovision
I can't believe that so many people have never had a proper cream tea. It's as English as a bowler hat, signing on the dole and starting a fight at pub chucking out time.
@danny
I'm piscatarian (eat fish but not meat) which is even better. Both meat-eaters and veggies hate us!
@>500
Good lord, no! If you do that you put too much jam on it! The scone should be savored for it's own delectable goodness, you really shouldn't smother it in preserve. Just a little blob on top of the clotted cream is all that's needed!

@danny.... when did you fight your way to the top of the food chain lmao!!!!
anyway, i never asked you to understand
im not asking why you eat processed mashed up bits of 'animal'..... in actual fact most 'meat' eaters dont actually each the kind of meat your food chain is made up of.... but hey, this aint scones is it?!?! heehe!
ever tried marmite on scones?!?! (i jsut dribbled)...... looks liek leeboys buying scones on the way home!
bTW danny, i aint by any means having a dig
just gotta tell it how it is
@cyco...
if i could eat fish i would... it just smells soo bad..... mat tho, i dont think i would ever even wanna eat it again.... its harder to tamper with fish, especially freshly caught fish
plus, fish is seriously good for you
youre not hated cyco....

Yers. Even though I don't partake in meat myself I can see the attraction of a good quality chop or steak. But how the hell anyone can eat Iceland home-brand chicken nuggets and such like is beyond me; there's more meat in a chickpea curry!
Wouldn't scones and marmite be a little dry?
Posted by leeboy13
lol, it would, but then you add cheese... hmmmmmmmmmmmm!
yeah, the chop, or steak i too can understand, but even red meat to be fair aint 'apprently' all that good for you as your body takes a ges to digest it..... anyway.... each to their own... eat what ever makes you happy aint it

Just jam and a plain scone non of those silly currants and raisins in them!
Posted by paul101
i smoke them....
Posted by procterdc
If its presentation you want, then its....
1) Scone cut in half
2) Both halves lightly buttered
3) On each half scone - half clotted cream and half strawberry jam
4) Add a mint leaf to each scone (sticks better to the cream)
5) Icing sugar - In a sieve over the scones (gives it a christmassy look too lol)
This is how I used to serve them in the hotel I used to work for.
Posted by Cycovision
^^^^^
YES! That sounds absolutely lovely!
Posted by paul101
fried with a ton of butter
Posted by leeboy13
ok, following thsi thread - i went to tesco's on the way home and bought 6.... but to my shock..... i had NO JAM at home!!!!!! arrrgggghhhhhhh!

Posted by procterdc
Had an idea, why don't we all buy scones, make them in our own individual way, then photograph them and post the pic here?? We could ask masseur to judge lol
Posted by leeboy13
lmao, im in.... will make something special tonight
Posted by pmerryman
It has to be the cream then the jam for me, and it has to be clotted cream.
Has anyone ever heard them called scons?
Might just be up here in Oldham.
Posted by Cycovision
Pah! It's only pronounced 'scons' by people who are pretending to be posh. It's 'scones', sounds like 'stones'
Posted by leeboy13
also sounds like, , bones, cones, drones, thrones and my personal fav moans..
Posted by haynesycop
Mmmmmmm!
Posted by pmerryman
It looks like you have forgot the cream.
I know they are scones, but I have heard people call them scons.
Posted by >500
scons sounds better
Posted by haynesycop
Only posh people call them scones up here, scons sounds much better.
