No, no, no, no.
No.
No.
You're actually worse than the animals that think it's ok to put jam first.
No piece prize for you.

Agreed.
no no no!ok to put jam first
Jam has to come first, cream on top as a dollop! don't think of it as a replacement for butter, think of it as a topping to a cake.
So which one did you put on first?

I have no particular vested interest either way (aside from the abomination in the OP) so must rely on logic. Given the immediately obvious question of "how the frank are you supposed to spread cold, thick jam on top of a half inch thick layer of wobbly cream?" logic would dictate that the jam surely has to go first.
I had to do a full experiment

Results were inconclusive, more tests needed
I am a staunch cream first man (besides being the proper way, you can get more cream on), however the moist sweetness of the jam right against the scone does have its appeal
(Don't worry, more jam and cream were added after pix taken)
on this matter it how you pronounce scone really defines you.
To rhyme with "own".

I think it depends if what you call cream looks like this:-

OP's solution is quite frankly an insult. Who wants a mouthful of just cream or just jam with their scone? It make me feel a bit sick just looking at it. They have caught themselves in the minefield of semi thick cream that does neither over or under any favours.
thank god you didn't butter them first.
cream first, jam flavour shines through better when on top.
To rhyme with "own".
Hyacinth Bucket would say that. Do you want that? Really?
It's indecisive people like you that have led us to a hung parliament.
wrong just wrong 😉
Butter, then jam, then cream. You can pile the cream high on top. Its not easy to put jam on a pile of cream
BURN HIM!
Why not put the cream on one side and the jam on the other? Then as you can't put it down you shove it in in one go.
runniest one on top, so needs a full assessment of available materials before a decision can be made
... but if all else is equal, jam first, [b][u]obvz[/u][/b]
Why not have some cheese on toast, ya bunch of fairies. 😛
I'm with cougar on the logical approach.

This - and consider what one normally does with cream, would you put it in your dish first then your pudding on top? At the base of your trifle? Underneath the meringue of your pavlova?
on this matter it how you pronounce scone really defines you.
Unfortunately, some people seem to have decided to use a Scottish accent and pronounce it as "sconn", instead of the English pronounciation as in "own".

I do this. It's one of the many advantages of being Scottish.
And cream on top you bloody heathens.
Well this certainly puts the whole Northern Ireland thing into perspective.

To answer the queries regarding the first half and half solution ..... one eats ones scone down the centre line, so half mouth has cream, half mouth has jam
Half brain has half idea?
'Tis an abomination.
how do you drink whisky/rum? however you enjoy it most.
how do you eat a scone with cream and jam? however you enjoy it most.

To rhyme with "own".
Correct.
And definitely cream first.
rhymes with Gone, jam first.

Throws 'raspberry or strawberry jam?' grenade
*Runs out*
OP you are dead to me. You monster.
Jam first then clotted cream for me. Unless I am having a cheese scone then it's toasted and eaten with tuna or beans
I think it depends if what you call cream looks like this:-
Point stands. It's hardly structural stuff unless you just vaguely show the pot to the scone rather than put a sensible amount.
Anyway, I believe I may have actually just fixed the OP's proposition. You prep the scone base like the OP's picture, but then you fold it in half like a Cornish pastie.
Can't believe how anyone could argue that it's pronounced "scone" when everyone knows its pronounced "scone", come on
Butter - Clotted Cream - Jam - Single Anchovy

No butter....
Scones. Scots food*, we get bagsies on pronunciation. See also clootie dumpings, bannocks and cranachan .
You English folk can decide on Yorkshire puddings.

*oxford english
scone - A small unsweetened or lightly sweetened biscuitlike cake made from flour, fat, and milk and sometimes having added fruit.Origin
Early 16th century (originally Scots): perhaps from Middle Dutch schoon(broot) ‘fine (bread)’.
Strawberry jam then clotted cream.
On your scone. Rhymes with gone.
Any variation from the above feels very wrong.
