It's been a while since I've done a coffee post hasn't it? Well I think that it's about time now, so here it comes. I'm going to just jump right in. A new thing for my wife and I has been to buy scones on weekends and have them for breakfast. The bakery at our grocery store makes them fresh daily and they are actually pretty decent. There are quite a few different flavors there, both sweet and savory, but we typically buy the blueberry ones. They seem to be their best in my opinion.
We bought jam and Devon Cream to go with them and that reminded me of a post that my friend 
Apparently the Devon way is to put the cream on the bottom and the jam on top and the Cornish way is to do the opposite. The Devon way makes the most sense to me personally and I definitely prefer it that way myself. The Cornish way just feels all wrong to me. Cream on top? No, I don't think so... I do wonder though, if the consistency of the Cream makes any sort of difference? I noticed that the Cornish cream in Milly's post appears to be less dense than the Devon cream that I have here, so maybe it spreads differently and does make more sense the other way around? Unfortunately I have no way of testing this theory.
I only have access to Devon cream at the grocery store so I guess I will do it the way that it was meant to be done and continue to apply the cream first.
I used strawberry jam from France to go with the scone and cream. The jam is a pretty common brand that you can find in grocery stores in Canada. I never really took notice in the past that it is from France but spotted it right away this time around. That must be from living in the country last year.
The blueberry scone is from a Canadian/Italian bakery so the whole meal has sort of an international thing going on; a scone from an Italian bakery in Canada, jam from France and cream from the UK. It all makes for a really delicious combination.
I usually drink black coffee or sometimes add a little table cream to it. On this particular day I made a flat white coffee to go with my scone breakfast and it turned out to be a really nice change.
This ended up being one of those coffees that looked especially apetizing and also happened to taste a little better than it normally does as well. I'd say that it was a great breakfast overall.
