The presenter posted an image of two scones side-by-side, one with jam on top of cream, and the other with cream on top of jam.
The image was captioned with the claim that hers was the cream-topped scone, while the jam-topped belonged to her musician husband, Matt Willis: “Which way do you eat yours…? Mine is on the left.. @mattjwillis is on the right… #jamfirstcreamontop”
The debate took off in the comments, with fans going to the mattress over their preferred configuration.
“I’m a Devonshire girl! Jam first then as much cream as you can!” said one fan, while another came down on the opposite side: “I am with Matt…sorry Em, you’re wrong!! xx”
There were claims that it’s all about the density of the cream: “Cream first if its clotted cream cos it so thick if its whipped cream jam first.”
For some, it seemed to rely on the presence of another topping altogether. “Clearly cream first as its the logical alternative to butter! Mmm cream sandwiches…” one commenter said, but another wasn’t prepared to take the absence of butter for granted: “Butter, jam then cream x.”
Some were keen to spin the discussion off into another classic debate – is it pronounced s’cone or sCONE?
“Definitely cream then jam on the top.. going have to go with matt on this one! 👍🏻 looks proper yummy! Which way do you pronounce scones or scones lol! You know what I mean 😀”
Then there were the people who would take them any which way: “Greedily with coffee thanks xx Yum”
