Two polls in one

Do you pronounce it as in "cone" or as in "gone".

And which goes on first - clotted cream, or jam? Bear in mind that as a Devonshire boy I will judge you

[Ammi]

..'gone' and I don't know what goes on first because I'm not that keen on scones and especially with cream and jam...

[lostalex]

It's scone as in ice cream cone. or Obama killed a terrorist with a drone.

I've never actually eaten a scone before though so i have no idea what how you eat them.

When i eat toast though, i put the butter on before the jelly. so I assume for a scone you would put the cream on before the jam.

[MTVN]

Jam before cream sounds like an absurd thing to do

[Vicky.]

s-con

And I hate them so cant answer the second bit

[Shaun]

yeah, the cream's too messy to put on second (unless it's REALLY thick, in which case ew)

[Braden]

I say s-con.

And I've never actually tried a scone in my life, probably because I've never tried jam before in my life. The mixture of jam and cream scares me for some reason.

[Shaun]

just went to the co-op and they had no clotted cream don't even sell it. how awful.

[lostalex]

I honestly have no idea what clotted cream is. can anyone tell me what the American equivalent would be? It looks like a cross between butter and frosting.

[Shaun]

it's cream that's steamed/heated in water, and left to cool for a while, so it's a lot thicker... and spreadable.

[lostalex]

So it's like "i can't believe it's not butter"?

[Shaun]

I guess, but it's not butter tastes like cream.
