And that bit of Cornwall that was once Devon? Maker, which you can easily reach from Plymouth by either the Cremyll ferry or the Cawsand ferry. Note too the other Devon "outlier" of St Johns along the left-hand margin. Both reconciled to Cornwall in 1844 when many such anomalies were rectified throughout the country.  Further up the Tamar, there was a sizeable slab of Devon west of the river as recently as 1966 (the Tamar follows a straightforward N-S line to the east of Werrington):  Even now there are odd bits of both counties which straddle the Tamar not too far from Holsworthy. How do all of these areas solve the jam/cream dilemma? Side by side? |

It was nice to see on BBC Spotlight that a taste out was held this morning on the Torpoint Ferry which resulted in a resounding victory for Devon (jam on top) over Cornwall (jam on first). So Chelston you are welcome with your mix of Cornish and Irish ancestry to continue eating the disgusting looking thing pictured above, but for all proper Devon boys we can celebrate a decisive victory for the only proper and traditional cream tea ... scone + cream + jam in that order! Now that the argument has been resolved on television it's time to lock this thread Dave!  |

Now that the argument has been resolved on television it's time to lock this thread Dave! I would if I agreed with the findings sorry but my Devon roots go back for so many generations and its been passed down from each one to the next one that the CREAM goes on top of the jam  |

putting jam on your cream on the scones is nothing short of treachery,those caught should be flogged within an inch of there lives and buried in horse manure for a week

I just didn't really know we had so many, I thought they were either totally rugby or supported those Green Pilgrim things who used to be good in the days of Frank Lord (about 1963). Anyway nothing to argue about any more. A totally independent judgement was made on the Torpoint ferry this morning. An overwhelming victory for the Devon way of scone + cream + jam in that order. There is no right of appeal so any further postings to the contrary are invalid and I am now going to 'Do a Chelston' and add this to my 'Not to Discuss List'!! |

As stefano says, case closed. Scone, cream, jam...best eaten on a bike, at traffic lights, in lycra shorts, in front of an angry, hooting Australian ;D |

Cream on top of jam is dirty and only for those two-headed, seven-fingered, cave-dwelling, bat-baiting Cornish oiks. |
