#creamtea — Public Fediverse posts

@oCDo "Neither order is arbitrary. The #Devon way, cream then jam, leans on a dairy heritage where clotted cream was the prized element, spread like butter; the Cornish way, jam then cream, is fiercely tied to Cornish clotted cream sitting proudly on top. Both are centuries-deep regional identity rather than a right-or-wrong rule, which is why the broader afternoon tea tradition treats it as living custom, not etiquette to police." #CreamTea #Cornwall

Aus England haben wir uns letzte Woche #ClottedCream mitgebracht. Heute habe ich zum ersten mal #Scones gebacken und wir haben #CreamTea daheim genießen können, #mjam. Schon mal probiert? #TeaWithMilk #Delicious #Cornwall #Devon #Speciality #foodporn

Depression glass, birdy figurine, Forget-Me-Nots, all baby blue, such a gentle, pleasing color.

Are you jam first - or cream first? I live in Cornwall, so it has to be jam first https://www.koolbadges.co.uk/jam-first-cornwall-flag-badge-p-8762.html #cornwall #devon #kernow #jamfirst #creamfirst #badge #buttons #handmade #handmadeincornwall #scone #nationaltrust #kernow #creamtea

Cream then jam. No poll, this isn’t a debate.

#CreamTea done right 😉 #Devon style

Proper job 👍🏻 #Cornwall #Cornish #CreamTea #scone #jam #Clottedcream

Walking around IKEA wondering why you never get squirty cream in a #creamtea. They could do a 1/3 sized can, to go with the tiny jar of jam.

Already seen one very obvious April Fool Day joke earlier this morning on the #CornwallLive website.

Here in #SWEngland there's always been a certain amount of rivalry between #Cornwall & #Devon.

When you have a #CreamTea (i.e. pot of tea and jam/cream on a scone), in #Cornwall the accepted norm is to put jam on the scone first then the cream on top. In #Devon it's the other way round, i.e. cream then jam.

The article said that the #UKGovernment had banned the Devonian method. 1/2
