There's a tea garden in the Doone Valley where they make their own scones. They are huge (the scones - not the people who make them ;-) ). They're really nice too. :-)

ME TOO !!!!put the jam on first then you can dollop the cream and mould it round to cover and sink your mouth into . PLUS more cream can be added when it oozes off side . LOVELY

Reminds me of cornish holidays in the 60,and 70,s when we spent 8 hours on a motorbike and sidecar getting to Cornwall for 2 weeks holiday

If it was warmed I would have to leave it until it cooled down.

I don't like stuff warmed up.

When you are starving with the hunger, you'd eat nicely warmed scones any which way.

Surviving & homeless residents of Natal wouldn't mind one way or the other.

I would rather just have a bit of butter. The scone is the best bit.

Graham, as someone who comes from Somerset you should know it is cream first then the jam, the same as Devon.

Cornwall is the other way round.

I put cream on first, in lieu of butter - you wouldn't put the butter on top of the jam, would you? HAS to be strawberry jam, I'm afraid :)

Devon cream tea - a treat to die for!

‘Do it for Devon’. No need to cross the Tamar to that other place.

I've lived in both Cornwall and Devon - still put the jam on first :-D

Having said that, my dad was Cornish, so maybe it's in the genes :-D
