    Wait a minute...we gave y'all our American muffins...so why haven't you sent us any scones?

    I mean if the French can send us crepes...surely y'all can let us have scones.

    I fear we have tried but you're just not posh enough for our cream teas :p

    I'm not a big Creme Egg eater but apparently when the 'muricans bought Cadbury and basically did what they said they wouldn't and changed the recipes of loads of stuff, they also made the Creme Egg not a patch on the old version and last year sales fell by a huge amount. Much like the English language, couldn't leave well enough alone......... Love you all really!

    There is a bakery called the Rolling Scone in some US cities. But let me get this straight, porridge for breakfast, bangers and mash for dinner and clotted cream for tea. Strange things you Brits get up to in the kitchen.

    Y'all are serious about your tea...

    I love coffee but I don't have a set time to stop what I'm doing and dedicate myself to drinking it. Lol

    I have to confess though.
    I've never tried a tea I like. Ever. Not even southern sweet tea (much to my wife's chagrin).

    And what is mash?
    Sounds like thick heavy soup. Or grits.

    great thread :) LOVE tea and it's scones with jam and butter for me. as for weighing people, I weigh myself in stones but log in kgs and lbs so people understand what on earth i'm on about as it seems a few people on my friends list understand struggle with the concept of stones.
