Discussion
As we go through life we come to numerous points when we need to make decisions ; things like who to marry, which house to buy, what job to take. This is not for things like that but for those other crucial decisions.
Such as : jam or cream on a scone first ? If you're either Cornish or Devonian then you don't have to make a decision, it's genetically pre-determined for you, but for the rest of us we need to make that decision.
I just had a difficult one - with a nicely toasted and buttered hot cross bun, which half do you eat first - top or bottom ?

Depends what level you toasted it to and at what warmth you put the butter on.
Ideally:
Bite of bottom
Top, while the butter is mid-melt, with the outer bun taken to a sticky crisp
Ending with a bottom that has an cooling outer, with flecks of cold butter, and an Otter's pocket moistening centre where the elixir is just beginning to touch through the cloth so to speak, leaving a few buttery fingertips to sweep the plate of crumbs and errant currants with.
Hot Cross buns and crumpets need a double butter method. Initial butter while hot so you get a melt and golden yumminess throughout amd then a second cooled spread for some creaminess on topIdeally:
