    Porridge should only be eaten cold after it has solidified (or in biscuit form using my mums recipe)
    You forgot to mention the national trend for water and salt instead of milk :D

    Yorkshire through and through and never known anyone put jam on a Yorkshire pudding. Golden syrup is normal sweet topping for a Yorkshire pud
    My Grandad was Derbyshire born, bred and buried and he had jam on his batter puddings (he refused to call them Yorkshire puddings :rotfl:).
    He also had batter puddings with gravy as a starter.

    just to correct you, I in no way forgot about that, I don't care one way or the other as my mum made porridge both ways when I were a lad and I still had it cold in my lunch box.

    My Cornish mother served cream splits yesterday - and laid out jam and cream for people to do as they deemed fit.

    One son was hauled off for a brief word after just applying a finger thick layer of cream and biting in. Duly chastened, he added a teaspoonful of jam to the top and carried on. For his second (& subsequent) splits, he went notably lighter on the cream but continued to put jam on top.

    Granny observed with a bright smile.
    I look forward to the reading of the will in years to come...


    As for pasties, tea and the ever so famous fry up - if we don't sit at a table, then the odds of making the Will drop like a rock. (Granny has Standards.)
    She makes her pasties with a crimped edge along the top (& skips the jam in on end idea.) Tea is served alongside another vessel of boiling water so those who do not wish to drink a strong brew can dilute to taste. The ever so famous fry up (as we practice it) is concealed from Granny who as a retired GP remains an active member of the Nazi Health Police & the exuberant calories might trigger a heart attack just Observing.

    Long rivalry between Devon and Cornwall. It’s more natural to put cream on top. If you had fruit salad, pie or anything else that needs cream, you wouldn’t put a layer of cream first then the pie etc :D

    Having lived in Devon for 14 years, we’ve just moved to the Dorset/Somerset border so we’re looking for a different way for our cream teas:rotfl:

    I've always understood that the (clotted) cream on a scone took the place of butter, so it was "more natural" to put it under the jam. I can see that if people are using whipped cream (perish the thought!) it wouldn't support the weight of the jam so would have to go on top.

    I'm a native Devononian - now living in Surrey - whose Father ate bread spread with clotted cream for his breakfast.

    I'm English but wouldn't consider a fry-up breakfast to include hash browns (but I very rarely eat breakfast 'out' so am going on what we used to have for Sunday breakfast at home - which I left over 45 years ago when hash browns probably didn't exist).

    And replace the toast with fried bread.
    And add fried mushrooms.
    Hold the beans.

    I've not had a breakfast as described above for a lot of years though.

    I don't think I could hold the beans or the hash browns... :rotfl:

    Tea: Slice of lemon in the cup, tea poured over it (I keep sliced lemon in the freezer specially for this.)

    My DH on the other hand, even has milk in Earl Grey tea! :eek:
