          @thelastgherkin I pronounce scone like it rhymes with bone.

      @thelastgherkin Meanwhile, on ameRicaDN, I'm not entirely certain what a scone even is....

        @scribus Bready cakey thing served with cream, jam, and a !cuppa. I'm told you colonials have something similar in what you call "biscuits".

          @thelastgherkin Seems close-ish, yeah. I knew it was a baked thing, thought it was less cakey, though. Hooray for learning things! :D
