It's scon and it's always cream first!! If you're making a jam sandwich , you don't put the jame on first do you! 

You seem to be claiming that butter and cream are the same thing.

I would consider cream (regarding scones) as the butter!

It's a scon in Scotland. The palace is pronounced Scoon.

JAYJO

in our house its pronounced Rockcake.

Look, just butter the 'scon', whack some jam on it, dollop some clotted cream on it and shove it in your face. Enjoy with strong hot tea (1 sugar, splash of milk put in after), and shut up yer whinging.

Too rich for me - don't like them. Last time I was invited for cream tea I though I will puke fat and sugar out halfway through.

And it's scone as in cone in here in Bournemouth. I don't care either way.

Scon. But I’d prefer a Welsh Cake with my tea.

Scone - pronounced Scone as in cone.

I am overly qualified in this, as i'm originally from the Midlands therefore I pronounce everything wrong, i've lived in Surrey for 18 years so I can either go a bit LANDAN or pretend i'm trying to be posh, but still say Scone.

My parents now live in Devon, so therefore i'm a local.

And it's cream then jam - treat the cream like spreading butter on a sandwich.

I don’t get chance to eat them in my house. Doesn’t matter how they are pronounced. They get bought, and before I get chance to have one they have scone.

Re the cream or jam first thing, if it bothers you can you not just turn the scone upside down and relieve your blood pressure some?

Half the people (those who cor spake proper) won't get that joke

It's definitely a scone, if it was a scon, it wouldn't have an 'e' on the end of it.

You mean like 'gone'?




This is one of my daughter's favourite jokes...

What's the world's fastest cake?



See, it doesn't work if you pronounce it all snooty with a long o .

I got it, I just didn't look on page 2 before I posted it .

Anyway, it's not sc-oh-n or sc-on at all... it's scuin. (Or scoon, if you prefer.) As in the Stone Of.

This thread is like that bit at the end of WarGames where the computer realises it's impossible to win at Noughts and Crosses and gives up.

Scone, definitely to rhyme with 'gone'. Jam or cream either way, but easier to spread the clotted cream over the jam.

And strawberry only. Raspberry jam in a scone is an anathema to good taste.

With raisins/sultana's, otherwise you might as well pour flour in your mouth. And cheese? Well, cheese is for crackers. Or baked spuds. Or pasta.

More importantly, I was always impressed with Terry Pratchetts' name for the Dwarfen bread, 'Scone of Stone'.........
