I live in Cornwall and went for a cream tea as recently as yesterday. you can watch them make the clotted cream in the kitchen,the jam comes from a local farm made from strawberries grown there and a hint of scotch whisky mixed in. yum.

It needed a nice cup of tea to wash it down as well.

All I can say is that you need way more Clotted Cream.

Devon and Cornwall organized a joint pop festival but they had to cancel. They couldn't decide who would go first , Cream or the jam!!😃

As a Cornishman, Auntie Cathy won, but I've never seen clotted cream in a jar, Rodda's clotted is world famous, sorry I'm biased 😁🇬🇧🇺🇸

This'll stir an argument between Devonians and people from Cornwall haha.

I've been eating cream teas on on off for over 50 years, and I prefer cream on top so I can load it on. I'm from Bournemouth in Dorset if that matters.

Dave, try it with like 3x, or 4x times more clotted cream on top, indulge yourself. I do. a layer of jam then a huge dollop of cream on top

You need a pot of tea too. It's definitely cream on top but there's going to be a referendum on it...

I love you two... Dave getting his Tatt in Camden... you guys need to invest in a teapot, brew some Yorkshire tea, a dash of milk, go so well with the cream tea, definitely cream first.. try doing toad in the hole with cabbage and mashed potatoes and gravy... such a nice unpretentious couple, come back and explore some more. Great vids.

Dave, you could easily be mistaken for a beefy well nourished farm boy from SW England. LOLs.

For what it's worth, sultanas are a type of raisin - they're raisins made with one specific variety of grape called the sultana grape, which originally comes from Turkey, which used to be a Sultanate, hence the name.

I use Mary Berry’s scone recipe. They come out the best. She is a cooking Goddess in the U.K. check out her books and recipes! And what a fantastic gesture to donate to Charity. You seem like an open minded couple who enjoy trying different things without prejudice. I enjoy watching these vids about England. Please come back to the U.K. soon.

We had a friend come over from Holland and he had never eaten cream tea before. We introduced him to it and he practically lived on them for the week he was with us. We kept finding more scones, jam and clotted cream in the fridge. He called them doughnuts!

I'm from Devon - and it's definitely cream first (loads of it) and then jam. How I look on it is, when you have a piece of toast, you don't spread jam and then butter on top. So why do it with a scone. 🥰

Would love to see you try a homemade sticky toffee pudding and lemon cake.

I love this, I live in Devon and I will eat my scones any way I choose. The problem I see here is - not enough cream for an authentic cream tea - seriously take a look at pictures of cream teas, big dollops of cream, almost ice cream scoops worth, that’s how we do it. I visit the US often and the first day of my holiday with my American friends we always have a big cream tea with that exact brand of clotted cream and scones that I make - BTW I usually have to use a glass as a cutter, works fine.

They do have jelly in the UK that is similar to US jelly (and they call it jelly and not jam), but it's usually used as a meat sauce like mint jelly or damson jelly. The stuff to have with peanut butter is almost always called jam.

Yayyyyyy! From a Manchester lass - your beautiful children are absolute pro’s!! Cream bottom, jam top every time!!! If you ever fancy doing a mini series on say sauces/condiments or anything British that isn’t crisps (chips) or sweets/chocolate (candy) let me know! OOOOOOH cheese on toast - like grilled cheese but different - I can tell you SOOOOOOO many ways to eat that ❤️ Great job guys - you should totally come back soon!!

I love this! What a great idea ... I loved seeing everyone’s reactions. I’m with your mom, 10 out of 10, pass the jam. 👍🏼 😄

I’m from Yorkshire North of England. Would you believe that I’m in my late 60s, but have never had a cream tea? But you are selling it to me. Incidentally let me explain the tea thing. Back in the late 18th century Lunch was served at 12 noon. Dinner was around 8:00 pm. So a long time to wait. Consequently it became popular to have a cold snack served with tea in the late afternoon around 4 to 5pm. In some parts of England meal times evolved into Breakfast, then 12 noon Dinner (the main meal of the day) - 5pm a meal called tea, this was generally cold such as a sandwich and cake. Then finally a light hot meal called supper before going to bed. Like the three ladies by the way, they are hot!

Heres a thing: Raisins are dried red grapes, Sultanas are dried seedless white grapes, they originate from the middle east and were called sultanas because just like the sultans wife (the sultana) they have no seed inside them (except for the sultans).

Devon and Cornwall and scones reminds me of Gulliver's travels and the eggs - big-enders and little-enders.

Wow, enjoy gals, I lived for 40 years on the Devon / Cornwall border. We raise some very curvy girls on cream teas there. A moment on the lips and ages on the hips, we say but it tastes so good. You'll be ready for high tea next, google images to find out why !

Do a Toad in the Hole - and do it as a main dinner with veg and roast potatoes....keep a bit of the yorkshire back and then serve it (without 'toad') as a pudding with golden syrup (or a sprinkling of sugar) .....nom nom nom..... Forgot to say, with gravy (onion, if your're fancy - bisto if you're not!!).

Cottage or, as from your other video you like lamb, shepherds pie. Liver and bacon with onion gravy. Scotch eggs. Toad in the hole. Fry up/full english. Chicken tikka massala (yes, it's british). Pasty. Pork pie. Steak in ale pie/stew (use a dark ale, preferably a porter or stout, and a measure of port). Champ. Bubble and squeak. Home made pickled eggs and onions (add chillis for a proper kick). Sticky toffee pudding. Gypsy tart (served with a wedge of apple). Rice pudding. Rhubarb and custard. All classic british comfort foods. Mix and match (liver and bacon with champ e.g.). Try condiments like english mustard, branston pickle, piccallilee, brown sauce.

Was the clotted cream the real stuff? Never seen it in a jar before. I avoid scones, clotted cream and jam... i can easily eat a 6 pack in one sitting. I’m impressed that everyone seemed to know you break a scone in half by hand, not slice it with a knife.

As a Brit I always thought it was cream on the bottom and jam on top this was mainly because the jam is easier to spread than the cream - who knew I’d be so wrong

Im from Tiverton, Devon. Love the kids choice of scone!

Maybe you can try Welsh cakes. Plenty of vids on KZfaq & recipes!

Congratulations ! May all your scones be yummy!

I have always preferred the Cornish method. Ironically I found out, when researching my ancestry, my mother’s family are of Cornish origin. One thing is certain, either way this is a lovely treat.

pleased you liked the scones try sausage rolls or cornish pasties or meat pies

So great. Enjoyed it so much. Very funny. I like the cornish way most. I lived in Devon for eight years n then Cornwall for thirteen so I know em both. I really love you guys and have watched you before but am enjoying watching you again. I hope you do some more. Cheers. Good luck to the both of ya.

Try your random Americans on a roast beef dinner, English style, complete with Yorkshire Pudding. Yorkshire Pudding isn't a dessert, it's a batter accompaniment to the roast beef. It can be made as individuals in a cake tin or in a pan and cut into pieces. My grandmother used to put the beef on a rack and let the juices drip onto the pudding while cooking but I suspect that might be for advanced students. :-) You might find pre-made Yorkshire Puddings in the international store you visited. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_roast

The Devon way I prefer but either way is great OH and Im from Devon. Great vid people well done.

This was a fun review, I’m really pleased that you guys have compared the two... Great watch 🙏🏻😎

I'm with Kathy! Well done with the scones by the way...they looked really good. Dave (from Sussex!) PS Subbed!

Brought back memories of my many trips to Jungle Jims. Don't remember there being a site map when I went. Though it has been 17 years.

That store looks amazing -wish we had that store here It was great putting a face to the names I’ve heard :) Fun video

Really enjoy watching you guys.

And I thought Tesco's extra stores, in the UK, were big! I'd love a store near me that was so big I needed a map lol

As a Devonian, I always do cream first, then jam -- you can push a divot into the cream to hold the jam. I prefer Langage Farm clotted cream over Rodda's, as it's thicker. There's also a variation worth trying called "Thunder and Lightning": clotted cream with a drizzle of golden syrup on top.

I always find if you put the scones in the microwave for 15 seconds then slice them with a knife, then add the cream, then jam they are slightly softer and taste superb. Always with a cup of tea !

Bad news guys! It's kicking off! Fighting has broken out on the Devon-Cornwall border and Cornwall has occupied Plymouth! HAPPY NOW?? ;-)

Bread and butter pudding try the hairy biker style you can find it on the net

Maybe I am debauched, but I put butter on first;! BTW, the facial expressions of a certain man of the house enjoying his scones were brilliant! I think you should move to THE UK and adopt me!😀🌸

Another great video and awesome family. we get that Kaiken Melbec wine from our local wine shop and it's one our favourites here in Manchester. I love scones either way but have you made cheese scone? Its a savory version and would go well with your red wine. Amazing you are doing these videos for charity. Thanks again for a great vid.

You need a knife not a spoon for the cream and jam!

A must have is earl grey tea with your cream tea. Add a dash of milk in the earl grey after pouring into a cup.

Another great video, love your England uploads👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Saltana and raisens are grapes that are left on the vine until they dry out.also you can use a full fat whipped cream.

We need to make Kathy an honorary Brit! Unassuming, matter of fact, gives it a straight no-nonsense 10/10, and a very English "pass the jam" flourish at the end. Lovely stuff. But, yeah, this really should be a double-handed treat with a pot of tea.

If one does not have a cutter use an upturned straight sided glass tumbler. Clotted cream can be made from pasteurised milk but not homogenised.

im not saying my way is for everyone but this is my version cherry scones cut then 1st I put clotted cream then strawberry jam and if I want to go further chop up some fresh strawberrys and put them on top big mug of builder ( a mug of tea) and now you know my way oh im from the uk

Best way to eat Scones and Cream is with a Nice Cuppa, But either way Cream first or Jam Works for me but my Wife is Jam first then Cream, Then on to Sticky Toffee Pudding LOL Hope you are staying safe and Well Keep being you Tara and Dave Love your Mothering Laws The Kids Need some Work with the Cream and Scones though

Have a go at making scotch eggs. You can buy them already made but homemade ones are delicious, especially when they are still warm. It’s a boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat and then breadcrumbs, there’s more to it but you’ll se that in the recipe

Up here in the north we put butter on first. Then.... jam topped with the cream (or vice versa)

Such a great upload

Great video very funny. A few thing to try baking for your family to try: Victoria Sponge cake (the most common homemade cake), Yorkshire puddings (they go with a Sunday roast), Volauvents (a bit retro). Also baked Camembert with garlic cloves, if you liked the baked Brie. FYI BBC food has some good recipes.

Scone as in gone. Cream first then jam for me. Great video.

Warm, home made, scones with butter and jam served with English Breakfast tea is lovely. Whipped Double cream (I think you call it heavy cream) is delicious too and marginally healthier than clotted cream. The better jams usually have a higher percentage of fruit to sugar. Much more cream required IMO.

Just discovered your channel and watched several videos. I really enjoy them. I love scones. I mix up whether the jam goes on top or bottom. But just with butter is my favourite! But I agree with a lot of people on here. Must be with tea! Not tea bags though. Loose! Great you are supporting charities.

When we say jelly in the uk, it is either your jello, or it is jam without whole fruits in.

I'm from Cornwall and the best way to do a scone is to do both halves in both ways and then put them back together

Next time you go back there.....check out time stamp 4:08...pick up a pack of Irn Bru. Stick it in the fridge and you'll have one of the best morning after/hangover cures known to humankind :-) One to try...north east version of a scone. Singing Hinny. Go to that spruce eats site and there's a recipe for them on there. Can't remember if Lard is available in the USA, not something I had to look for, or if it goes under a different name. Haven't put link in to the spruce eats page because I know that can mess with the post at times. Or same site, Easy Pease pudding recipe, which contrary to the name is not a desert. :-)

Just come across your channel . I like your style, and Dave you guys are class. I live in Kent, known as the Garden of England, although one journalist who visited my town called it the compost heap, he wasn't far wrong. You have a lovely family and whats even better is your so natural, like Tara is the sensible one and Dave is just like blokes here, listens to what she is saying and they do like saying a lot right, but can be a bit of a knob sometimes , just part of being a bloke right. Even Edison is coming along nicely in that way. Just joking folks. Keep safe from that covid crap and love to meet you if you come by here again.

Kaiken Malbec 👍 try the Kaiken Ultra if you can get it, black label.

Those scones look 😍

The cream takes the place of the butter and goes first. It's constancy is best spread on the scone, it's hard to spread a hard skinned cream on a liquid jam. But, I'm from Essex lol

Jam has the fruit in it, jelly is strained. Jelly is also jello

i work in dudley west midlands and devon and cornwall are very popular holiday places to go for the people at our work and we debayed how we eat our cream teas...its a resounding result of jam then cream (maybe its a black country thing)

Scotch Eggs, something for your tasters to try and are not overly difficult to make, there are plenty of recipes on the net! Get some English Mustard and Branston Pickle to have with them.

should have made them 3 cups of tea, scones can feel dry, which is why we have tea with a cream tea.

I was born in Devon and we used to have cream on the bottom then jam on top

Don't worry about the pronunciation of 'scone' We argue here in the UK too. People equally say scone like own or scone like gone. The argument is about which goes on first, as you found out!

You could try British pancakes - thinner than America in ones (sometimes called a crepe in Europe). Dead easy to drum up! Try them with Apple or cherry pie filling, or just sugar and lemon juice!

Personally, I don't care which way they are- both are delicious. It was fun to watch newbies try them, and the only thing anyone did wrong was be mean with portions. There is no spreading of cream or jam: If your dollop doesn't reach the sides with a gentle press of the spoon in the middle, your dollop isn't big enough :) NOBODY has cream tea (particularly with clotted cream) with any thought to calorie intake.

Really love your videos on food, and your whole delightfully laconic and charming family. I'm English but not from Devon or Cornwall, and I've had quite a few cream teas on holiday; it's one of my favourite treats. We don't have them at home, although we do have scones sometimes, with butter and probaby jam or honey. Yes, the scone recipe is very easy but you have done well to get them to rise so well - they looked great and I bet they were good and light. Did you know you can make a savoury cheese scone? Add a little pinch of cayenne, grated strong cheese and skip the sugar. Delicious hot. I'm also a tea-lover and certainly agree that some kind of drink to wash a cream tea down is essential. The very posh way to serve your assemblage would be to pre-slice the scones with a sharp knife, and decant the jam and cream into china or glass dishes - no labels at the table. I'm not posh myself; I just thought you'd be interested, if you wanted to do the full Downton! You do need knives to help spread the jam and the cream, but 'refined' people spoon out from the dish first, so I hear (also for marmalade on breakfast toast), then spread it with a knife. If you are in a cafe or hotel, they often give you little individual pots of cream and miniature jam jars, which means you can avoid all that sharing around and get to scoffing faster lol. As for the order of toppings, as I am neutral Essex, I can break the dichotomy and declare that for me it depends on the type of cream you are served. If it's the very thick clotted cream, I'd spread that on first like butter and top it with the jam, whereas if you are faced with slightly looser double cream I would put jam on first as a stable base and blob the cream over that. You may come across a full meal called a cream tea, including cucumber sandwiches (another minefield of traditional recipes) or other savoury items to start, and extra cakes such as fruit cake along with the scones. Oh, and sultanas are dried white grapes, I think, instead of black grapes that become raisins. Of course, you also have the type of 'cream tea' that you pay an arm and a leg for at Wimbledon, with fresh strawberries in season, topped with cream. But that's something else, really. Hey, low-carb!

love this :-) im from and live in devon

Thinking of full English tea, with finger sandwiches, pastries, crumpets, tea cakes, brandy snaps filled with cream. Accompanied by a lovely big pot of coffee ☕

I'm with the kids, cream on the bottom. And I rate it about a 3. Although I from England, I've never really got the the cream tea thing, but I can imagine it being a great treat in harder times, which is much of our history. Lovely kids and family. I think they all have to visit Britain/England.

I'd like to see this video again, but made drinking British style tea with the scones. A teapot and proper China cups is a must. Brilliant video nevertheless.

In Cornwall, when you get there are certain Shops that will post Cornish Clotted Cream, worldwide, Rhoddars is one of the Best, you can get it on the internet too, by the way, Cereals and Clotted Cream then the milk, goes down lovely

it's jam not jelly. got to have it with a cuppa , my favourite way is the British way

Random comment here! I spied a 'Coffee crisp' among in the range of confectionary in that store. That is not sold in the UK, it is, however, available in Canada. Wonder if the Cadbury products are from there too?

Hi both may I start by saying that you look like a young Jennifer Aniston and marlan brando in this vid, kudos to you. I'm in the UK and travel a lot so I like to see what others think when they travel. Loved all your vids on UK and your delivery is natural and funny. Would love to see you do some wine reviews or an across the pond comparison where you and your friend in the UK find and review equivalents. Anyway thanks for making me smile, I'm off now for a scone and cuppa. PS if you want a good uk recipe site try nigella Lawson, and if you love lamb you have to try Tagine. Have a good one.

500g/1lb 1oz strong white flour, plus a little extra for rolling out 80g/3oz softened butter, plus a little extra to grease the baking tray 80g/3oz caster sugar 2 free-range eggs 5 tsp baking powder 250ml/8½fl oz milk 1 free-range egg, beaten with a little salt (for glazing) the best ever recipe for scones from a UK PASTRY CHEF enjoy ;D

I know that some Americans that love British food go to Jungle Jim's, but I have looked them up and they only have a few stores, which are nowhere near my American g/f in Missouri. Do they do online deliveries? I eat it the Cornish way when in Cornwall, and the Devonshire way when in Devon, though of course we can get the scones and Cornish clotted cream in all stores all over England. Thanks!!

Giving to Charity is so cool , well done both .... love the vids 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Jam on bottom, cream on top and a pot of tea, simple 😀

Try Yorkshire putting either sweet with golden syrup or with roast dinner and gravy. Sweet or savory basically.

When I lived in New Jersey I found the butter very sweet compared to butter back in uk. Will you be letting the family try other British foods?

Devon cream tea you put the cream on first then the jam, Cornish way it to put the jam on first then the cream on the top.

I was due to visit Windsor March 27th. Afternoon tea booked at the limes tea room. Then this dam virus came along.!!

Oh wow. I'm in it.

We enjoy wine as well, being in the UK we have access to wine from all over the world. We have a case delivered on a regular basis. Are you able to buy wines made in Australia and Europe?

Try the recipe for a Yorkshire Fat Rascel similar to the scones but bigger, from a Lancashire lad, Northern England

Try making Yorkshire pudding. Unfortunately no need to go to a special shop, milk, eggs and flower

Will you be making them in the future?
