The Cream Tea Order — a note

Comparison

⚠ A TERMINOLOGY ROW, RECORDED AND NOT ADJUDICATED. The DEVON method puts clotted cream on the scone first and jam on top; the CORNWALL method puts jam first and cream on top. The disagreement is genuine, is taken seriously, and is a marker of regional identity rather than a question with an answer. Both are recorded; neither is ranked. Also disputed: the pronunciation of "scone", which varies by region and class rather than by correctness.
