To think there is a dead wasp stuck in a scone on the cover picture of the Tesco magazine?

[speakout]

Can anyone else see this? I have a copy of the free Tesco magazine- May 2019, picturing some scones. On the chopping board behind the plate one of the scones looks like it has some dead wasp body parts stuck inside. It is the scone bottom right on the pile, nearest the plate. Look closesly, I can see what looks like the striped abdomen of a dead wasp empedded in the scone, with another smaller body part to the left. I showed my OH and DD and they can see it too. AIBU? Or just too much time on my hands?

Spring onions are stripy

Stripy spring onion.

Tweet Tesco and ask them!

How is it 'terrifying'??

ahhh

spring onion- that explains it!

I would not want spring onions in my scones.

I would- a nice cheesy one with spring onion

Dead ? No....
It's probably an alive and kicking wasp enjoying a lazy afternoon tea. Scones and jam - who wouldn't ?

Oh yuck. This has brought me out in a cold sweat remembering finding half a wasp in a Tesco yogurt. I complained gentle reader!

It's that weird brain thing where because you think you can see something the more you look the more convinced you become. Like faces in the patterns of wallpaper & curtains.

This has made me laugh so much and hats off to the poster who took the time and effort to post photos of stripy spring onions 😂😂😂

They are "maple bacon butternut scones"

The ingredients according to Tesco's website are

300g pack smoked streaky bacon, diced
2 tbsp maple syrup
430g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
½ tsp fine salt
4 spring onions, finely chopped
170g butter, cut into cubes
240ml buttermilk
1 egg, lightly beaten

So yes, very possibly onion. Did you not think to read the recipe??

That's not spring onion! You can see the green of the spring onion in the top scone. Clearly! It's a wasp!

Wait, the recipe is MAPLE SYRUP and SPRING ONIONS?

I'd rather eat wasps, and I'm a vegetarian...

Spring onions are stripy lengthways, not widthways.

It's a bit of onion.

Spring onions are stripy lengthways, not widthways.

Yes but if you chop them up into small pieces and mix them up with other ingredients it's more than possible that a piece turned round so its stripes are horizontal.

It's just the shape it's twisted into. The scone on the plate has similar coloured "bits" on it. They look like fragments of the same ingrediant, but that scone just has an unfortunately shaped bit!

This is, without doubt, the most important issue on MN today. To wasp or not to wasp and viable alternatives.

I'm considering beetles for added crunch.

I'm not sure that it actually is a wasp, but whether it is ill-placed crumbs or what it is not very appetising.

Though a fairly realistic picture of a scone, in say, August.

I agree it is a spring onion. There is another stripy bit to the left of too so unless a swarm of wasp has got baked in I would say it is part of the ingredients

Urgh, I don't want wasps or spring onions in my scones ta very much.

I don't eat cakes or scones at all, but now I have seen the photo's of those scones, I might well try some,as they look quite tasty with the added ingredient of wasps ! I rather like bees better,but wasp's will have to do for now.!

LOL, it's obviously a raisin!
