Description
Jam First!
No trip to Cornwall is complete without indulging in a Cornish Cream Tea, a couple of oven-fresh scones sliced in two, topped with generous dollops of jam and clotted cream.
Over the Tamar, in England, Devon layers the cream on first and the jam sits on top.
Obviously wrong!
Traditionally, in the Duchy of Cornwall, to spread the cream first is nigh on sacrilege (though pariah status is now only reserved for repeat offenders.)
While there’s much debate around which goes first (a dispute dividing Cornwall and Devon for generations), etiquette gurus Debrett's say you should spread your jam before dolloping cream on top. Proper job!
This handy message on the St Piran flag should remind everyone of the right way to present a Cornish Cream Tea.
Wear it on your T-shirt or put it on your beach towel. Come on, let's stop this preventable crime from happening again this year.
