Scone

Good luck ordering "One scone" then.

G-one, c-one ph-one all take the pronunciation of how s-cone is correctly pronounced

 

[arnieboy]

I'm not bothered about what it is called as long as it has butter, jam and cream on it. My wife thinks I have no class!

 

[rulefan]

It’s ONE with a sc in front of it…

You mean skwon?

Cambridge app maps decline in regional diversity of English dialects

Regional diversity in dialect words and pronunciations could be diminishing as much of England falls more in line with how English is spoken in London and the

And of course, near Perth, we also have to deal with “scoon” palace.

Well tough one

For me

It’s sc”ON”e

And yes butter

Then jam - must be strawberry

Then Clotted cream

 

[backwoodsman]

Who on earth puts either jam or cream on a scone? In any order?
And hence the (s)cone, (s)gone, (s)*** argument is pointless

sCONE because it litterally has the word cone in it.

Most of the time I'm this. But I do use the other one sometimes.

My uncle came up with a settlement as my sister and I disagreed on it

sCONE has raisins
Scon e doesn't

(I liked raisins)

What's more important is whether your jam is made from Strawbriz or Strawbrees

 

[Tashyboy]

At last a proper thread.
Cherry scone. Not bothered how it’s said as long as it looks chunky.
Strawberry jam and clotted cream. Not bothered what’s on top or bottom.
One of the best scones Ave ever had in Dunster.
Warm cheese scone, cream cheese and onion chutney. Mug of tea to accompany all scones.

Ah but colonel is pronounced kernel.

That was my point.

I always have Butter, it's too dry without it, obviously if you have butter you would not put cream on it then jam, so it's butter, jam and then cream. Now if you were making a scone sandwhich it would not matter but anything else you use cream for normally it is on top and even in a cake it is jam then cream.

Just the Chumly-Warners and the Beet Howkers who get it wrong then.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Don’t particularly care the order of topping, and the @Jimaroid map places how I say it, but recently had the best had for ages with butter and home made chutney in the Edensor Tea Room…now that‘s a placename

Man after my own heart

Scone as in gone.
Ideally - clotted cream with jam (Strawberry preferably, but raspberry is acceptable). Cream first for me. My missus puts the name on first.
Otherwise butter with jam.
We've found the fresh baked Scones from Morrisons Market Street are consistently scrummy.

 

[bobmac]

If you have 2 scones, cut them in half and put the 2 bases together and the 2 tops together.
Then spread the jam and cream in any order you like because you won't know which way is up.

I'm here all week

 

[louise_a]

Scone as in one,
butter, then strawberry jam, then clotted cream

 

[Red devil]

I say scone as in gone, my partner scone as in cone.
Ps. Is this the mince pie thread Spring and Summer edition?
