I don't like scones.

There, I’ve said it and you know what? It feels good.

The truth, the real truth that people are trying to keep from you – scones are crap. They’re not sweet enough to be cake, they’re too dense to be bread, there’s a faint but unmissable taste of baking soda at the back and to actually eat one, you need to cover it in jam, cream and all others kinds of crap to mask the fact that you're actually eating a scone.

Stop lying to yourselves people. Scones are shíte.

Freak. But brioche is better than scones. Scones are the implements of the pro-Brexit UK oligarchy.

There. I said it.

Well I don't like Mondays you don't see me complaining.....

Like Friday and Saturday and hate Sunday then....

American scones are truly sh1t. They give them out in KFC with your fried chicken...serve them with roast dinners etc.

BDI · 11-10-2019 04:01PM

The wife makes them with cream and jam.

Nice.

Racist to scones are we?

Irish Scones tend to be a bit too big for my taste, so it's difficult to get the right cream+jam to scone ratio and they end up too dry. Give me a proper scone from Devon or Cornwall slathered in cholesterol laden clotted cream and jam any day (always cream first BTW!)

Big Nasty · 11-10-2019 04:02PM

Scones are savage, big fruity scone, slightly warm with proper butter, jam and a bit of cream. Savage.

Place I used to stop in to did rhubarb scones. Big chunks of rhubarb in the middle. Savage.

Brown scones however have no pace in this world.

OP if you have a "good quality" scone instead of the reduced to clear ****e from Dunnes you seem to be eating you'd soon change your tune

Get better ones. Ones you can taste raising agent in are cheap badly made. Dense ones are cheap, badly made

If you're very domesticated you can freeze them.

I used to hate scones and basically any deserts with cooked fruit. I've since been converted. A tea room near my job does fabulous fruit scones with berries inside rather than dried fruit and they are so light and delicious.

The little dainty scones served at afternoon tea can be a thing of joy too!

pawdee · 11-10-2019 04:20PM

I'm lying alone with my head on a scone.......thinking of you 'til it hurts.

the beer revolu · 11-10-2019 04:21PM

Lads get your scone etiquette right.
Plain scone with butter and/or cream and jam.
Fruit scone should be eaten with just butter.
At least, that's what my mother always claimed.

Commercial scones are generally way too big and a bit crap. A good, fresh, homemade scone, just barely warm (never hot, and never microwaved) is a thing of beauty.

Game of Scones.

Yeah they're definitely lagging behind the white ones.

I don't like anything with raisins or sultanas in it. I do like a nice warm freshly baked plain scone though.

o1s1n · 11-10-2019 04:29PM

Forever a scone.

Scone not his simplicity

No need for jam or butter on a scone. My wife makes delicious ones with white chocolate chips and raspberries. Fresh out of the oven, these are absolute heaven.

Potatoeman · 11-10-2019 04:32PM

That’s how the cookie crumbles. Sorry, have I scone too far.

My granny makes sweet scones with fruit and they are gorgeous. Unsalted butter, homemade strawberry jam, heavy whipped cream and afterwards you're left with your eyes rolling back in your head, drooling in ecstasy. She also makes a gorgeous fruit cake that has to count for 19 of your 5 a day and a cottage pie that can't be bettered.

I have the best granny.

I don't like scones.
