Cheese scones are an abomination.

Scones are supposed to be sweet. What monster came up with that combination?

Agreed. Likewise cheese straws.

purplemunkey · 13/06/2022 14:40

You are very wrong. They are delicious!

ofwarren · 13/06/2022 14:41

Agreed. Vile

GMH1974 · 13/06/2022 14:41

I like them too.

whenwillthemadnessend · 13/06/2022 14:42

No way. They are amazing. Lashings of butter and fresh tomato soup. Hmmmm

PurpleDaisies · 13/06/2022 14:42

You are totally wrong.

LosingTheWill2022 · 13/06/2022 14:42

You are so wrong! In the days when I used to eat cheese, I absolutely loved cheese scones! And cheese straws. Yum.

AbsoluteShambles · 13/06/2022 14:43

YABVU. They are AMAZING!

Rosehugger · 13/06/2022 14:43

No, they are beautiful. Butter and marmite. And possibly more cheese 😛

RedCarsGoFaster · 13/06/2022 14:44

Nooo, cheese scones are a thing of beauty! Use them instead of bread with soup or instead of corn bread with a chilli.

They do not, however, belong anywhere near a cream tea.

National Trust cafes have amazing cheese scones with a peppery aftertaste

peachescariad · 13/06/2022 14:44

Fruit scone - vile
Plain scone - should be banned
Cheese scone - delish!

SausageRoll2020 · 13/06/2022 14:44

You are so very very wrong.

A fresh cheese score still warm from the oven so that when you add butter it all melts 😋 I might have to make a batch now!

MixedCouple · 13/06/2022 14:45

Amazing for my Bubbas we don't offer sweet scones instead we do savoury - cheese and Brocalli 😍

Sswhinesthebest · 13/06/2022 14:46

Many aren’t cheesy enough. But delicious with chutney.

JuneJubilee · 13/06/2022 14:46

They are amazing!!!

I can't eat them anymore (too many carbs) but they are THE BEST!!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 13/06/2022 14:46

Cheese scones are the food of the Gods.

Any other opinion is deeply misguided.

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 13/06/2022 14:46

Wow, OP, it seems you woke up this Monday morning and chose violence.

Cheese scones are bloody marvellous. Scones with dried fruit in them are the real evil.

Sort yourself out.

rnsaslkih · 13/06/2022 14:47

I will eat either very happily. Just have to put them with the right stuff. No wonder I am a lard arse!

PollysPockets · 13/06/2022 14:47

You couldnt be more wrong! They're the only type of scone worth eating!
Fruit scones and scones with jam and cream are vile, cheese scones with a thick layer of butter is heaven!

blackheartsgirl · 13/06/2022 14:47

Yabu I love them!

im the weirdo that puts jam on them 😂

saveforthat · 13/06/2022 14:48

A good cheese scone is delicious, unfortunately they very rarely have enough cheese in unless you make them yourself so I never order them out.

CheshireCat1 · 13/06/2022 14:49

Delicious when used as a cobbler to top a stew. Also lovely toasted with bacon on a Sunday morning.

TheSummerPalace · 13/06/2022 14:50

Best to double the amount of cheese in them! So if the recipe says 4 oz - put half in the mixture, and half on top; put all 4 oz in the mixture, and another 2 oz on top!

Great with lentil and vegetable soup!

CaramelJones · 13/06/2022 14:50

I agree that fruit scones are awful but I can see the logic in putting them in scones but cheese and scones shouldn't be in the same room let alone the same recipe and don't get me started on those of you who compound the horror by adding Marmite.
