So y'all just throw some heavy cream on your biscuits and jelly and call it a scone? Then call it different kinds of scones based on whether you go cream or jelly first.
Got it.
Y'all need to start deep frying stuff.12 -

The English screwed it up for us in America. Wished we would have used the metric system for measurements. It would have been so much easier in calculations. The only things they want in more pounds in the UK is money.

Nope, just doesn't do it for me.4 -
And don't forget the argument about how to pronounce scone - is it "scon" to rhyme with gone or "scown " to rhyme with own. I'm a softy southerner (UK) so I say the second version. And I weigh 10 stone not 140 pounds on a good day.4

Go to Scotland. Deep fry all of the things there, including meat pies, Mars bars and pizza. I'm Scottish now living in England where they don't deep fry as many things. Fried food is delicious.
A scone with ice cream would be terrible, the texture of a scone is quite uniquely suited to jam and clotted cream. I'm not a cream fan generally but clotted? Give me a spoon!3 -
Biscuits (the US version) and scones are actually quite similar. Sweet scones are like biscuits with fruit and sugar in the dough. Savoury scones are like biscuits with cheese and herbs/spices in the dough.
And jam first always. Heathens.6 -

Jam first of course, so you can properly spread it. Oh you people, I want a cream tea now! Must source clotted cream.1

It rhymes with " scon" otherwise the "what's the fastest cake in the world?" joke doesn't work3 -

It's not a biscuit it's a cake ... Well it's not really a cake but it's not a biscuit ...it's a cakey biscuit
And a biscuit is a cookie anyway
Why on earth you'd cover it in gravy is beyond me1 -
Cream first then Jam! And a huge mug of sweet tea to go with it!0

Also don't come over all y'all on us...you know we have a soft spot for that kind of thing0

Totally different. We call them English muffins now too (because of your American muffin invasion some time back). English muffins are bread. Scones are more cake.0
