Haha, here we go! The Devonshire way (on the left for the uneducated) is the correct way. Wars have been fought for less. If you really want to wind your wife up tell her pasties are a Devonshire creation too…
Can't say I agree. I mean I do agree, being from Beer and all that, I just cannot say it. Blown2CV said:
left seems eminently sensible. Right seems unhinged, like trying to spread butter on top of jam on top of toast. Chips on top of ketchup.
Quite.Which is the thinner / more spreadable, as that scientifically should go on top.
...so as it's clotted cream, jam has to go on top!

Funny, I'm not from that part of the world and have always done it per the one on the right, but now to me it looks better in the one on the left. Not sure which county I have just upset .....

The snag there is that you've managed to alienate both factions at the same time! If you'd just taken a wild guess on either one or the other, you'd at least have stood a 50% chance of being right.

This is something that I don't understand. Well, I suppose I could if we go down the Peach Melba route...
What does make me scratch my head is why cars need a Devonshire or Cornwall bumper sticker with either cream first or jam first on them. It all tastes the same!
but the Cornish way tastes better all day long. What does make me scratch my head is why cars need a Devonshire or Cornwall bumper sticker with either cream first or jam first on them. It all tastes the same!

Spread jam on, then dollop cream on top from a spoon. No cross contamination of utensils occurs.

I would argue also that I don't care about jam on my cream knife or cream on my jam knife!

Jam OR cream, not both!
Stuff that. Scone, Scon or scoon.Jam OR cream, not both!
Scone (rhymes with spoon) = a town in Scotland.
Scone (rhymes with moan) = no such word.
And it's butter, then jam*, then cream.
* - strawberry of course
If people spent more time eating cream teas, and less time insisting how they assemble them or pronounce the names of the components is the only right way, we'd all be a lot happier.
I was going to say "we'd all be a lot more Devon and a lot less Cornwall" but felt that'd be another source of confusion and acrimony.
