When you order a scone to go with your coffee

[ivykaty44]

And they pull out the smallest scone on the pile that didn’t rise like the others 😂

do you say something or not?

I didn’t but it was considerably smaller

lighthearted 😜

It would not happen because tea is drunk with scones you utter monster.

Not in the US. Coffee is king, scones or not.

In the US, scones tend to be larger than British ones, but even so, I'd ask for the biggest one they've got.

Exactly

A cheese scone and a flat white is the breakfast of kings.

Every time someone eats a cheese scone, a fairy cries.

im not sure they are the same food item?

an English scone is sugar butter and egg with a drop of milk, baked and then cut in half butter and jam applied 😆

Shit cafe!

Scones in America are called biscuits and eaten with gravy, have eaten them a few times in the states, they are nothing like British scones.

Because they don’t have sugar in them

That must be why my city is devoid of fairies then - [[

Had m and s one lately but was there from weekend.. so not great/fresh Finding their cafe hasnt much in it lately.

I say nothing, but silently seethe. I reckon they try with each person to get rid of the smallest... replace it if they say something and it's a win if they don't.

I was a coffee shop the other day and a piece had fallen off of the slice of cake I was given. I asked for a full slice of course. They rolled their eyes a bit but bakery items are expensive in those places there is no way I am paying to be short changed with a runt scone.

I wouldn't say anything because I would be worried the staff would, consciously or not, judge me . Instead I inwardly seethe and rabbit about it all day

It's a perfectly reasonable to say. "Could I have different scones please I don't like the look of this one it looks a bit weedy and pathetic"

I have never ordered a coffee and a scone!

It's far worse than that, there's a huge conspiracy in cafe's etc that serve scones and cakes, we pick a random customer and they are our player, and then give them the small scone/piece of cake 🍰 and then if we're not asked to change it we get 10 points, 5 if we strop enough so the customer just accepts the smaller one and you lose 5 points if you have to change it.
I'm in the minus figures because I save the smaller ones until last so I can eat them as unsold.

🤫😉 You heard it here first.......

Nothing like scones and nothing like biscuits. And the gravy is nothing like gravy either, is it?

Anyone who puts any kind of baked goods in a microwave is a monster.

I absolutely agree @kingtamponthefurred punishable by a slow death imo

"A cheese scone and a flat white is the breakfast of kings."

Try it with butter and a rasher of smoked bacon in the cheese scone. You are welcome.

That’s because it’s wrong

No. We have scones in the US. They are not the same thing as biscuits.

And biscuits are sometimes eaten with gravy, but more often with butter and jam, or my favorite, honey.

What's the textural difference between biscuits and scones? I've only ever had scones.

Of course they do!

I was very disappointed with a scone I had last week. It looked lovely but was over baked. Gutted!
