The new Sean Bean (random banter) thread

[kryss]

See, I'm a cheese fan, then I just have them warmed up, but I do understand the necessity for the possible addition of jam or other toppings. So let's say plain for the first batch, then mature cheddar for the second.

I asked for a "biscuit" in america and they brought me a scone with jam and cream. (That was actually a win as far as I was concerned).

[kryss]

In Red Lobster here they give you a basket of warm scones for free with the menu. FOR FREE.

Boondocks taught me about red lobster and those cheddar biscuits hehe, LOVE that show.

[EJG1980]

I remember the first time I went to America and being perplexed when I saw "Sausage and Egg Biscuit" on the breakfast menu at a restaurant. Two countries separated by a common language and all that.

[dave heats]

Can anyone defend THIS?

[endo]

I could not. What I also COULD NOT DEFEND is anyone pronouncing it scone as in own. It's scone as in gone.

edit: the OED lists both pronunciations. This is INDEFENSIBLE!

[importaku]

If you swap out the cream for a similar sized layer of butter then im in, i will probably be dead by 40

[dave heats]

But what a way to go.

[kryss]

Tiny scraping of butter perhaps, but not a SLICE. You can't DEFEND that.

My immediate family all say sCONe but my dad's parents always said sCONE.

[importaku]

A.....S.s.s.s.scraping of butter!!!!!!

My god you are savages in Canada if you can't taste more butter than scone then something is wrong. I think i may be the super minority on that one hehe

[wakka]

A small amount of butter topped with a dairy's worth of clotted cream. Proper clotted cream with the crusty bits on it. And a thick layer of fruity jam of course.

I could really go for a cream tea right about now.

For me, food comes in just a few forms:

1) A platform for butter.
2) A platform for cream.
3) A platform for salt and vinegar.

Scones are great because they fulfill two of those.

[importaku]

I like your thinking

Haha yes!

1. Cheese scone (warm!) with a slab of butter
2. Macchiato (ok not really cream but frothy milk)
3. CHIPS!
