    A cement cup? Wtf? Is this some bizarre Irish tradition? To drink out of cement cups?

    I'll take the paper one, thanks.

    you shouldn't drink out of a cement cup, the lime in the cement will leach into the tea and poison you over time.

    Cement cup. Possibly the oddest way to describe a cup.

    Theres a Pizza Hut in Dublin that does the same thing ;)

    I'll take my Sausage and Egg Biscuit over a rasher though. Still, I do love rashers. And I miss them. :(

    There is a clear difference between the biscuit you get in a mcdonalds breakfast and a scone. I know what a scone is.

    Maybe they do them differently in TX...when I heard biscuit I was expecting...well I don't know what I was expecting with my chicken, but an enlarged scone certainly wasn't it.
    Tasted nice though. Definitely semed like unlevened bread of some description.

    I much prefer cement cups, I hate those tree cups they usually give you in fast food joints.

    Its not a scone dammit! :p Theyre similar but for one thing scones are made with a lot more sugar, and sultanas. The texture and taste are also different.
