Scone or scon(e) and where are you from?

[FlatteredFool]

Scone to rhyme with cone. It's got a magic e making the o elongated. I'm in the North West with Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, and Irish roots.

I don't eat mine with cream. Clotted cream just sounds like some kind of STI affliction. Blood clots, cream shouldn't. However, if I did eat any kind of cream then the cream would go on first in place of butter. How do you eat yours?

And lastly, what is the best flavour scone? Mine is cherry followed by sultana but I've not experimented beyond that.

Let the bun scone fight begin!

Rhymes with gone. I’m originally from NI.

I fucking love scones, both sweet and savoury and do cream first then jam, though I’m never sure if I’d just prefer butter, which I also adore.

Scone as in gone. Family are NI I'm se London. Always cream first. Scone to rhyme with cone sounds very wanky.

SW scone rhymes with gone!

Scon, NE England.

My favourite is cheese scones (delicious warm with lots of butter!), but in a cream tea I'd prefer a plain scone to a fruit scone, as I loathe dried fruit. And I'd do cream then jam, because I lived in Devon for a few years.

Scon - north west

Cream first for me

South East. Definitely scone.

I started my life in Yorkshire though, that might be the influence

Rhymes with gone.
Fresh from the oven, with just a slab of salted butter.

I say scon but I completely accept that it has the silent e at the end which makes the o say oh, like stone, and I am therefore mispronouncing it. Quite nice with a bit of butter and jam and a little slice of cheese.

Scone but my husband says scon - both from West Midlands

Scone as in gone - I'm from Surrey

Scone, rhymes with gone, not bone.
North East Scotland

Scone rhymes with gone.

Jam first, then clotted cream, preferably Roddas or Trewithen. I live on the Cornish side of the Tamar. Clotted cream with syrup or treacle (thunder and lightening) is good too on a scone. It's jam first as it anchors the cream in place.

Rhymes with gone. Jam then cream for a regular one, but the best is my jalapeño, cheese and sundried tomato scone, served warm with butter.

Mid Kent, scone as in cone, and a cheese scone is the best scone, with lashings of salted butter!

Rhymes with gone - London

Scone to rhyme with gone.
Cream first then jam. It looks and tastes better imo.

My SIL claims they are impossible to make that way around. She made a massive show of not being able to do mine (even though I told her I'd do it myself) and I ended up with a tiniest smear of toppings vs everyone else's very loaded versions. I conclude that she's a twat. (lighthearted before I get accused of being nasty)

Scone rhyms with cone.

People who say it as if it rhyms with gone smell and have flies buzzing around their heads

Rhyme with cone. But never the devil's own handiwork that is sultanas.

Scon pronunciation.

Berkshire born and raised

and it's cream first then jam

Scone to rhyme with cone. E Midlands. Jam on first so you can stick more cream on top

Half the girls in my class said scon, the other half scone. I agree with the 'you pronounce it like your mum did' theory. DS says scone... ;)

Consciously and deliberately scoan because sconn is all stuck-up and lah-di-dah.

Scon. From London.

And cream first in place of butter.

Date and wheaten scones. Only discovered wheaten bread whenever NI.
