    But we have tacos.

    So do we.
    Thanks to you.

    You're welcome.

    ETA: As much as I'd like to take credit, I did not invent the taco.

    Yeah but you bought it to us and that's all that matters right now.

    This is the best thread ever. I always assumed that scones were like the ones we have here (sweet).

    To make this more confusing... does anyone know what Bannock is? I'm from northern Canada and this is something we enjoy all the time here but I suspect it may be regionally specific

    Scones are usually sweetened, but only slightly. The sweetness is meant to come from the jam or whatever. You also get savoury scones.

    Bannock is a Scots term, basically meaning a round, flattish loaf of bread, often soda bread or barley bread. It can also mean the large round from which oatcakes or potato scones are cut - the round is a bannock, the quarters are farls. I believe the term in Canada is used to refer to a kind of flat soda bread traditional to the native Indian community?

    Chemical leavening is in any case an invention of North American Indians, and I like the idea that the technology travelled East across the Atlantic while the word travelled West.

    And now I'm missing my full Scottish breakfasts...

    quote me if Im wrong but isnt Taco Bell an American franchise? It's recently been introduced to the UK.
    We have Chipotle too - is that American?


    Btw when I speak of Tacos - I only speak of fast food not actual mexican restaurants.
