The street food open-air kitchen

The classic cream tea is a simple and delicious affair: a freshly baked scone, clotted cream, jam, and a pot of tea to share. But there’s something brewing, and it’s not just the tea. It’s a question that divides even the most peaceful tea room: should it be cream first or jam first on a scone? The Devon vs Cornwall Cream Tea Debate The two neighbouring English counties most associated with the cream tea are Cornwall and Devon, both in the southwest of England (I included a little map). I learned that, traditionally, each county prepares its cream tea in different ways. The Devon cream tea is cream first, then jam. The Cornwall cream tea is jam first, then cream. As someone with more ties to Devon, I’ve always gone the cream then jam route. But I know that some people swear by the other way. Either way, I can vouch for both a Devon cream tea and a Cornwall cream tea being delicious. Unsure how to eat a cream tea? Perhaps you should follow the locals. If you haven’t had one on location, I recommend you give it a try. Which way do you go? Cream first or jam first? Related Ideas to The Great Cream Tea Debate Also see: Types of sushi How to make Irish coffee The egg float test The tomato test Mandarin, clementine, satsuma, tangerine Fruit or Vegetable Hedgehog a mango Dice an onion Gelato, sorbet, or ice cream P.S.

It deserved a stronger one!The classic cream tea is a simple and delicious affair: a freshly baked scone, clotted cream, jam, and a pot of tea to share.
