Absolutely not. We have two cafes, and we do both scones and custard, and quite rightly, no one's ever asked for them on the same plate ...

I'd have to say yes, custard goes with scones, custard goes with anything pastry and sweet - obviously not sausage rolls, but fruit pies and crumbles, and any kind of cake, and I'd call a scone a type of cake

When me mum used to burn cakes, the only way we could get them down was with custard ! At some stage her cooking improved and its fantastic now ;-) Simon.

Scones need clotted cream and jam.

I think most scones would be a bit too dense to absorb the custard for the ultimate solid-liquid interface.
Custard doughnuts are quite nice though.

Jam first, then cream? Or cream first, then jam?

I'll risk trying either variation.

Surely it all leaks down the back and makes a mess of the wall?
Oh, *scones*

Ideally, thin layer of jam on both cut surfaces of the scone, and lashings of cream between!

Many years ago the talk of the queue in the works canteen was that someone had just purchased a Cornish Pasty coated with custard. No reports were heard regarding this gastronomic delight.

Dr Who ate custard with fishfingers.
Mind you when I was at Uni I ate a tin of dog food for a bet.
It would have tasted nicer with custard.

A cow-orker at a previous place of employ used to eat black pudding dipped in yoghurt.

Between? You don't mean you (shudder) re-assemble the scone?

Depends whether it's in Cornwall or Devon.....
And then there's the knotty question of whether to butter or not.
