Description
A cream tea in a beautiful location.
What better way to spend the afternoon is there?
Scones with jam and cream are a British institution and people from Cornwall and Devon each claim the cream tea its own.
Both counties have vague historical precedent. The Cornish assert that the recipe for clotted cream was passed to them by Phoenician traders around 500BC. In 2010, Devonians made an unsuccessful attempt to gain protected designation of origin status from the EU for their version.
The two counties continue to tussle over whether you spread on cream or jam first.
In Devon you take a scone, put a layer of clotted cream on, then strawberry jam. In Cornwall, you take a Cornish split which is a more like a small sweet bread bun than a scone butter it, then put on the jam and top it with clotted cream.
Whatever way round you choose, the result is always yummy.
