Cream first, then jam.

Gone. Jam first then cream on top.
In such matters, I look to the Queen for guidance.
Since I've heard her say "gorne" for gone, I assume she says "scorn". That'll do me.
Jam, then cream.

In Scotland the tasty baking product is pronounced SCONN. Not to be confused with the town in Perthshire with the same name which is pronounced SCOON.
As in cone, cream first.....obviously.
B*llshit. I was born in Portslade and I've always rhymed it with cone. My boss on the other hand is a very posh northerner, she says it to rhyme with gone. You are therefor wroing on both counts. I say if you rhyme it with gone then you're a posh boy and probably have a nanny or butler to spread the cream on for you. x
Scoone. Note the double 'o' sound. That's how my Scottish granny pronounced it. I say scone myself. Anyway, I hope the following will be useful:
I asked the girl in dulcet tone:
"Please bring me a buttered scone".
The silly thing has been and gone,
And brought to me a buttered scone.

Whether one says scone or scone, either or either, controversy or controversy. Same ilk as carrier bag or carrier bag.

Cone - and Jam first.... not necessarily followed by cream.
How weird.
There are three hot food discussions in our household at the moment:
* gone/cone - we all agree that is gone. Cone is WRONG, and that's official
* Cornwall or Devon (jam or cream first). Our house is split on this one. I myself am a cream first man, but am prepared to accept the jam alternative. And as per [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION]'s post, [MENTION=236]Papa Lazarou[/MENTION] should feel utterly ASHAMED of himself. There is clearly no place for butter in addition to jam and cream.
* the third one is whether or not milk should go in before the tea. Apparently the correct way is actually tea first, then milk according to taste. That said, for me it's always tea leaves/teapot, lazily pouring the milk whilst waiting for the tea to brew. I know it's not right but that's the way I roll.
