Option 3: Upsetting all of the English speaking world by pronouncing it to rhyme with pony.
I have to also admit, as an American i imagine a scone as a little triangular cake, so I laughed looking at those Popeye’s biscuits floating in the corner of the image.
Oh christ here we go again.
Just be thankful I didn’t open up a can of bread rolls/buns/baps.
There are some pretty sharp divisions in Ireland it seems. Bonniconlon looks to be holding out as a ‘gone’ stronghold in the top corner of Mayo for example.
The bottom of that map is more orange than I was expecting. I’m surprised at the blue patch north of England. I always associated cone scone with the posher south.
Now you’ve gone and started the “where counts as north?” thing too! You absolute monster.
If gone and cone ryme how do you process this map?
That picture looks like an American biscuit. We put white sausage gravy on top and call it “biscuits and gravy.”
Outside of America, a “biscuit” is what you guys call a “cookie”.
Which is pretty close to what they are! Although iirc biscuits are somewhat more crumbly
At least you all agree on how to pronounce it, though. You (presumably) have no idea how deep the divide goes, UK-wise!
And there’s the place, Scone.
