Today, Friday 28th June, is National Cream Tea Day. One of the claimants to have 'invented' the Cream Tea is Tavistock, in Devon.
This is from the award winning matchday programme when Tavistock visited New Cuthbury on Sat 9th March 2024
Cornwall and Devon are famous for their cream teas, which consist of clotted cream, jam and scones. The origin of the cream tea is disputed, although there is evidence to suggest that the tradition of eating bread with cream and jam existed at Tavistock Abbey in the 11th century. In Devon its cream before jam on the scone, but in Cornwall its jam before cream
My wife said she wanted a cream tea so I said I would make her one. The trouble is I baked muffins instead of scones. She said I was good for muffin
There was this Farmer who said there should'nt be jam on a scone. Only butter and cream. How Dairy !
Another Farmer said if you keep the milk in the cow longer then it will come out ready clotted. Udderly Ridiculous !
I cut my finger when cutting a scone in half, but there was no bleeding. Well, you can't get blood out of a scone
Ive been watching that new quiz show on TV. Game of Scones.
I went to the park and fed the pigeons with a stale scone. Later two of them died. Sadly I'd killed two birds with one scone
I went to a gig in a tea shop the other day. The band playing were the Rolling Scones
I'm a fan of Michael Douglas. Just watched one of his old films - 'Romancing the Scone'
Went to a music festival in Devon as I wanted to see Paul Weller. The Jam went on second
Three couples were having afternoon tea
The first husband looks at his wife and says “Can you pass the sugar, sugar?”
The second husband looks at his wife and says “Can you pass the honey, honey?”

The third wife gets all giddy and expectantly looks at her husband, waiting for his remark. He turns to look at her and says “Can you pass the tea, bag?”
