Cream or jam first?

And, finally, it’s the big one. Is Nigella right, or has she shamed the nation?

Well, chef Darren McGrady – who cooked for the Royal Family from 1982 to 1993 – revealed that the Queen goes the other way.

He tweeted: “The Queen always had homemade Balmoral jam first, with clotted cream on top at Buckingham Palace garden parties.” While Cornish scone fans tend to side with the royals, many Devonians disagree, favouring cream first.
