    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. ;)

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Hard to break habits. Lol, the ball is a centimeter short of a first. Yeah, not the same kind of relevance.

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

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

    Clotted is such an...appetizing word...

    Agreed. Sounds dreadful, tastes dreamy.

    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 me

    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.

    Ok...do Americans just call them English muffins or they totally different things? Or are English muffins even a thing in England?

    I knew I liked Scotland.
    How about Oreos? Deep fried Oreos are like manna from heaven.

    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.
