I have just been in the kitchen and could smell burning from the toaster. I asked DH and he said it was the SCONE HE WAS TOASTING!!??
Nobody toasts a scone do they? To be fair he’s from forrin but he’s been here long enough to know better.
It is a leaving offence or does he just need some baked good re-education?

I've never toasted a scone, but I'll definitely give it a try now. I do always toast Soreen though, which DH thinks is very odd!

I had a toasted (warmed up in the toaster) scone with clotted cream and jam for lunch.

It was delicious.

I almost had to kill dh when he suggested I might like to share.

Ltb. Sorry for your loss.

Leave the forrin bastard immediately!
Disgraceful behaviour 🤣

Being from foreign, maybe he thought it was a crumpet?

I’ve recently perfected scone making using the Paul,`Hollywood bread flour recipe. They are best eaten very fresh but if a few get left over for another day toasting them refreshes them nicely.

Husband is also from forrin and also toasts his scones. I make him toast mine too as this is one thing he's got right !

I always toast a scone if it’s a supermarket one. I find them gluey otherwise. Toasted with lashings of clotted cream and jam. Delicious, especially as it’s warm and the cream starts to melt a bit. If they’re freshly baked or homemade, I don’t toast them.

I always half and then toast my scones. They get nice and fresh tasting without getting soggy like they do from the microwave

@AnnaSW1

My partner does. He thinks I am strange not to toast it!
Same! My DH saw me buttering an untoasted cheese scone and implied I was the weirdo!

Oooh I have never done this but it actually sounds quite nice! I think a lot of baked goods are better warm, I often microwave cake or muffins.

Toast a scone. Yes! And put shop bought chocolate cake in the oven. It goes all.gooey inside yum!

MinnieMountain · 02/08/2020 19:06

I never have but I see where coming from. I normally toast Welsh cakes.

Hoppinggreen · 02/08/2020 19:08

Nobody has guessed correctly where he’s from yet
Clue - they eat nice cakes and waltz

Now I want a toasted scone! My dad used to do this with scones that were a couple of days old and had gone a bit stale. He would put lots of butter on and give them to us for breakfast Smile

Hoppinggreen · 02/08/2020 19:13

Hurrah 😀

My DH toasts hot cross buns and I find that offensive! Buy a bloody TEATAKE If you want toast something!

Perro · 02/08/2020 19:15

LTB. This is Unreasonable Behaviour.

GrolliffetheDragon · 02/08/2020 19:16

I dad have a stale scone once, so I cut it in half, put a bit of butter on it and popped it under the grill. The butter stopped it actually toasting and kept it moist. Was lovely.

Wouldn't actually toast one though.

Bag the toaster up as evidence, you'll need it in court Grin

Lelophants · 02/08/2020 19:18

Toasted one this morning. What else would you do with it?Grin

Lelophants · 02/08/2020 19:19

And hot cross buns!

BlueJava · 02/08/2020 19:20

Provided he put the scone in the toaster with jam and cream already on it, then it's fine! Grin
