VISITORS to the UK this week have been somewhat bemused at a battle over scones – which has turned out to be something more than a storm in a teacup.
A National Trust property in Cornwall sparked outrage over a photo posted on its Facebook page which showed a scone with cream spread – shock horror – before the jam.
Locals pointed out that was a Devon cream tea, rather than the Cornish tradition which is to spread the jam first.
The controversy, which is now being referred to as “Sconegate”, has escalated, with scone aficionados now sporting new #JamFirst badges to show their support for the cause.
