I ordered the Devonshire Tea which consisted of two scones, jam and a drink of my choice. The scones vary daily and on the occasion that I visited, there was the choice of: plain, currant, apple crumble or cheese and thyme. I picked apple crumble and cheese and thyme with paw paw, lime & passion fruit jam and Turkish Apple tea.
A few months ago, Owl Girl mentioned that there were two ways to eat a scone which I had never realised before. Devonshire method is where the cream is placed on the scone first followed by the jam. The Cornwall method is jam first, followed by the cream. I used to eat it the Devonshire way however I tried the Cornwall way and I think I actually prefer the latter!
Devonshire. Excuse the chipped nail.
Cornwall.
How do you eat your scones?
Oh gosh I need to visit this place next time I'm in Sydney! So adorable!
ReplyDeleteAlso I definitely eat my scones with strawberry jam and cream! Yummy! :)
I think strawberry jam is always a classic with scones!
DeleteI love the Tea Cosy! I didn't realise there was so much controversy on the jam and cream order, I don't even remember how I do it - jam first, I think.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realise it was a thing until a few months ago. The things people bicker about haha
DeleteGoodness, your chipped nails. But I've been meaning to try Tea Cosy for years.... And I love my scones freshly baked, buttered, jammed and then covered in freshly whipped full cream. So cornwall foreverrrr!

The nail was pretty bad. I didnt realise until later that it was chipped so bad. And that is why I am not a fashion blogger.
DeleteI looooove The Tea Cosy, but haven't been in a while!

Aww this place looks so cute. I have never been before but it sounds like a lovely place to sit down and relax with friends. I usually have raisin scones so I eat them plain ... being the boring foodie I am :P
ReplyDeleteThis is so nice! And looks too delish for me not to want to reach into the screen and have a bite. :)
