Hey Bro, Interesting about the jam and cream sandwiches before the scones A sandwich would take more cream and jam. The Scotts had things pretty bland, so maybe by itself or with butter or lard while still warm. or maybe sardines lolYup jam then cream, why ,make life harder for yourself when it all goes down the same way!
Spot on my friend Jam and cream it is a more English thing, apparently the Devonians have been eating cream and jam on bread for centuries (they didn't realise it but they were just waiting for the canny Scott's to invent the scone).
What do the Scott's put on their scones......? Probably "pain topped with misery", I hear that the Shetland Isle's do it the other way round with "misery first, then pain"! (yes I am a very bad man, with excellent humor or is that an excellent man, with bad humor, I can never remember)!!!
I guess it depends which country you're in!
I am very celtic and look very Scott's but I am a true Englishman but i have known many good people from all countries that make up our United Kingdom! We like to poke fun at each other, especially in sports!
I love the sound of those fruit scones you make, I make pumpkin paleo English muffins, with almond flour and they are great! (Well ~I say pumpkin i actually use Butternut squash which is easier to get hold of here in the UK and I reckon it tastes better too)
I like Haggis, Macsween's is the most popular commercial brand. I like it the traditional way with "Neeps and Tatties". Haggis contains all sorts of offal (which is more nutritious than meat) one of these is called "lights" which when put into straight talk is "lungs" I have never had anything else with lungs in it!
Butter oh yes it has to be butter, I never use "Spreads" stuff that, it is butter all the way, in everything, on everything and for when I cook mushrooms!
Russian Caravan tea is awesome, I'm gonna cut an paste the history as it is soo much easier.

.. Same here its Australia and NZ jokes and also between states and yes mostly sports also, but all in fun.
They are lovely scones, i just add fruit to the mix, and the slow part is rubbing the butter in, and try not to mix it to much. The Butternut squash sounds nice see if i can source it here. I must try haggis , it sounds rather nice you described it, there is good oats in it also
I use butter also its been around forever and I find it better, it would be nice with mushrooms, i like it with banana sandwiches also
That is an interesting history with the Russian Caravan Tea, sure we must have that in Australia to try
Could be some severe storms today, so the girls text will be super batterned down lol
