Hey Guys, we're having a good old natter over this one:

I personally think the cream goes first with the jam nestled safely on-top. But some of the other food differences across the UK totally baffle me.

What do we think? :idea:

    Jam definitely under the cream. Other way round is just plain weird

    But then where do we sit with pasties, tea and the ever so famous fry up?

    Pasties, rarely have them, never paid any attention to where the crimping is.
    Tea, milk last, as it helps you judge the strength better, but often drink in black.
    Breakfast, English, but if I'm in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland I would expect it to be served with their regional variation. Looking forward to some Lorne sausage and potato bread when I go to Scotland this summer

    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 am Scottish and in my late 50s

    A scone should be eaten with butter only, no cream or jam.

    A pasty should be a Forfar Bridie and no sign of crimping or veg.

    A fry-up should be grilled and have Scotch pancakes instead of beans.

    Porridge should only be eaten cold after it has solidified (or in biscuit form using my mums recipe)
