Marys Pastys - Bakery in Grampound Road…. shops in Tresillian, St Austell and Mevagissey - they are very good! Almost as good as Aunt Avice’s (St Kew) which are the best pasties on the planet.

Yes, I know your site, David, and that is convenient. We used to stay at Porthtowan Tourist Park just up the road way back in the mists of time.
I'll let you know if we try them👍🏻
The Cornish Oven is also in the old Barclays Bank premises at Pool next to MacSalvors.

Taken over the old smokery in Grampound, I think. We've not got around to trying them either.

On pastys (pasties?) anyone staying at the St Agnes site really should try the St Agnes Bakery giant steak pasty, our favourite.
On cream teas, I admire anyone who can successfully spread jam on top of a sufficient layer of cream. Never managed it myself and, anyway, it's just plain wrong!

Right or wrong, your taste buds and tongue's sensory cells will still detect both the cream and the jam no matter which ay round they are.
When it is all down in your stomach - churning away, removing useful bits and delivering the waste to the back door, it really doesn't matter what was on top of what.
Enjoy it either way round!

The fact is, the viscosity of a decent strawberry jam is a lot thicker than an equally decent clotted cream so it makes sense to get a nice slather of jam on before a bucket load of roddas finest. Cream to jam ratio should be 75 - 25. Ideal

Well we always think of clotted cream as one of our ‘five a day’. After all, it is processed grass!
We we’re disappointed to hear of the cancellation of the Devon/Cornwall Border music festival. Apparently they couldn’t decide which band to have on first. The Jam or the Cream.
sorry.

🤣🤣 Love the idea that clotted cream is one of the 'five a day'....
On a different tag.... my wife sent me to the Co-Op to pick up one or two items of food last night. When she unpacked the bag, she (surprisingly) found a container of Rhoddas Clotted Cream. I have absolutely no idea what possessed me to put the Rhoddas in the basket... it wouldn't have been so bad had I have bought something to eat it with.. but nothing!... just the Rhoddas!! 🤣🤣🤣

Has this old 'which is first' chestnut been dragged out of retirement again? As Rhett Butler said "Frankly, my dear....."

It's an important question with a correct answer. Rutherford and Fry examined it in a Curious Case here.

yes but it has to pass some taste buds first and on mine jam then cream tastes better. I've done numerous tests over the years - some with my eyes closed in case that made a difference

Well, I have tried both ways round and decided that I like the three ingredients no matter which way round they hit the taste buds.
Scone jam and cream - delicious provided you are outside, in the fresh air and it is sunny!
Indoors on a grey day - not so brill!

It’s those sneaky people in the West Country that seemed to claimed the scone as their own.
it’s a well established fact ( recorded in Doomsday’s book of1065) that the “Sussex Scone” was the original.
The scone is two half’s or halves, whichever old English you prefer.
One half cream topped by jam.
The other jam topped by cream, Then the two halves pressed together to be eaten.I kid you not,

That's just for those who prefer a savoury scone. I'll also be doing the more traditional scone with jam and cream ....... or cream and jam ......
