    Lol, it seems far more sensible to put the jam on first! And now of course I have an urge for scones!! Guess what I'll be making this afternoon! Great to see you back, loved the trip and history of Teignmouth. Thank you my lovelies xx Teresa 🇦🇺❤

      Cream is basically thick butter so why would you make a sandwich and put the jam on before the butter?

    The mere thought of a January dip in the sea brought me out in goosebumps! Brrrrrr! Loved those independent businesses on your walk to the second church, and a husband creche sounded perfect! I haven't ever visited Teignmouth but I think I will be doing so, now I've seen your video! (I might wait for some warmer weather though). Thanks for a lovely video and some local history! Manky looked so comfy as a trainspotter! 👍😊 With regards to the cream teas, I've always judged them, not on taste but on the fact that jam on top always ends up as a sloppy mess, whichever way you make it, so sorry Devon, Cornwall wins this one, hands, or cream, down! But if it comes down to a Devon cream tea, or no cream tea, I'll take the Devon one, thanks!

    Great to see my hometown. But I would like to point out that teignmouth is pronounced Tinmouth. On the ridge line above the town there is a trackway that leads from smugglers lane (near the train tunnels) to teigngrace on Dartmoor. This track was used in the bronze age to transport tin to the coast for export to Europe.

    • @LetsgowithTheJohnsons

      Yes, we usually add jam and cream to both halves, as we get more clotted cream that way 😄😂 The weather was very kind to us and yes it was quite busy for January!

It seems like so many places around the globe are doing that or starting to these days. The view there would make a wonderful painting and I love the small shops! I have had the pleasure of eating a scone (Jam on the bottom) It was delicious! I actually prefer peach preserves myself, my second choice is apple butter and cottage cheese on milk biscuts. :)

I like your variations too, the peach preserve sounds very nice, thanks for sharing them. 🙂😎🐼

  • @jan208
    @jan208 Рік тому

    All you needed to do was make one, then turn it upside down, and you have 2-in-1. Whenever I've been served jam and cream on scones in Cornwall, they have always been served just on two halves, never closed together as one.

    • @LetsgowithTheJohnsons
      @LetsgowithTheJohnsons  Рік тому

      The trick is to turn it over as you cross the border between Cornwall & Devon so you don't offend anyone Jan 😄😂 You're right about the open scones, that's how most cafes & restaurants serve them as they are easier to eat, but when bought from a cake shop they are closed. Of course the plus is, that you get more cream & jam to scone when they are open, which is very nice. Thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼
