That really does just objectively make less sense, I don't understand that debate - you don't try and apply butter to your sandwich after layering cheese and tomato or whatever, you spread the more solid thing first.

Perhaps there is a culinary 3D printer than can print in 3D, jam and clotted cream.

Yep. I don’t get it, and I’m sure the Cornish apologists will be here shortly to explain why it makes sense.

This is exactly why we should all support Cornish devolution.

Cornwall has to cling to it, because otherwise all they have is cornish pasties and incest

I live in Devon, so I'm compelled to agree. Cream goes first, no matter what the Cornish have to say on the matter. Although, apparently the late Queen preferred the Cornish method.

And why exactly should we listen to a German when it comes to these things?

I'm sure you only mean to be anti-royalist^, but the implication for the rest of the citizens by birth of this fairly multicultural country is extremely intolerant if not racist.

^Understanding that just makes it a baseless & lazy argument, a joke at best.

Jam spreads thinly and is less viscous, so is much more suited to a thinly spread layer across the surface.

Clotted cream is far thicker and lends itself to a big dollop on top which keeps its shape and does not run off the sides.

Why do people still question this obviously infallible logic?

Sir, if you're spreading your jam thinly then you are doing scones wrong.
