Because those of us born and bred in Devon know how to make a cream tea properly.

Yes but why does it have to be in that order. Not being a smartass just curious.
Just makes it easier to have the thick cream on the bottom and jam on top
Also the cream keeps the jam from sliding off

Itās funny some people get all caught up it whatās proper and whatās not. Obviously weāre upside down here and put the jam first. But I certainly would go to war over it.

It very well could be that the cream was closer to the person putting in on
Itās one of those daft issues that raise inter county ire to an unbelievable extent. Wars have been started for less. The Cornish put the jam on first. Across the Tamar in Devon the cream is applied first and woe betide anyone who gets it wrong as the National Trust discovered a few years ago when they posted a photo of a cream tea served at a Cornish Trust property with the jam on top. They were inundated with complaints.
And just donāt go there with whether scone rhymes with āboneā or āgoneā 
You donāt jam your toast and then butter it. For me, the cream is a pseudo butter layer and therefore comes before the jamš¤·š»āāļø

I take a bite and tbh I couldnāt tell you whatās on the bottom or the top. To me whatās really important is a good scone and the best quantity cream and jam.

Yippee. Itās pork chop Thursday today.
Using my trusty roasting contraption.
Will think about a carb addition later, or maybe just keep it keto.

Itās quite an adaptable technique.
Fitting in my le creuset 27 you can put the lid on it and slow roast, then take the lid off. Turn the oven up high to shortly crisp up the crackling.
I prefer to first put it in uncovered at a very high heat and then low and slow. Although I like to use the other shoulder end of the pork side for chops if you can get a butcher to cut it.

Funnily enough, thatās what I cooked for dinner last night, as always, using your top tip for roasting.
I do it slightly differently, carefully scoring the rind into bite sized pieces, and then sealing the chop on the hob, before introducing it to Mr. toast rack.
Then itās into the oven for about fifteen minutes, where it meets its new best friends, the Hasselback Potato gang.
100%, the best ever pork chops.
