So let’s get the ball rolling. Scones should always start with cream at the bottom then the jam, anyone who says different is an idiot.
Secondly people that have second football clubs are the worst kind of human. They should be ashamed of themselves.
2. Why? Although banning second clubbers from here would mean that only the three of the six could post.

Re: Argument thread
Seems to be largely "Scon" up here too. Tattie Scon, Dropped Scon, Buttermilk Scon, Cheese Scon, Fruit Scon.
I will say, however, that I used to be a Jam first, then Clotty Cream, but today I did it the other way round and found it much easier to spread the cream like butter on the halved scons and then drop teaspoonfuls of jam atop that. So well done internet, you've actually changed someone's mind on something.

Re: Argument thread
I think it might be quite interesting to see the result if you called the residents of Kirkcaldy "posh"

Re: Argument thread
My second team is Leyton Orient.
I pronounce it scone, when it needs to be said. I don't imagine it arises more than a couple of times a year.

Re: Argument thread
Scones or scons, it doesn't matter to me, l just eat them with no butter, cream or jam, it's just the way l prefer them. Only the fruit ones though, don't like the plain ones.

Re: Argument thread
How barbaric. No cream or Jam? It’s a crime to eat a scone without them.Chicken Dhansak wrote: ↑Wed Jun 28, 2023 7:27 pm Scones or scons, it doesn't matter to me, l just eat them with no butter, cream or jam, it's just the way l prefer them. Only the fruit ones though, don't like the plain ones.

Re: Argument thread
No. Eating a fruit scone without anything on it is perfectly okay. But I prefer to eat them with just butter and jam. And I prefer raspberry to strawberry jam too. No need for any of that cream nonsense.

Re: Argument thread
Putting butter, jam AND cream on a skon is the epitome of lazy over consumption by the vile and easily despised bourgeoisie
