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!

Scone rhymes with bone. Londoner.

'Scon' always sounds posh to me (or trying to sound posh).

Scon pronunciation for me, I’m from Hertfordshire

Scon. Jam first. Then cream.

If I want to be truly disgusting (and often I do), Nutella and cream.

Scone. I'm from Yorkshire

I feel strongly about this

Scon - I'm London born and bred

Half my family are Scottish and they're also scon people.

Scon London suburbs.
Always jam first then a dollop of cream.
Am also partial to toasted fruit scon's with butter. The cheese ones are yummy too!

Sconn.

From the south east.

I'm baffled by people saying "scon" is posher than "scone".

To me scone sounds way more posh and pretentious than scone.

"Oh, Miss Haversham, would you perhaps care for a scone?"

Instead of:

"Eeeee pet, gan on, have a scon."

Scone to rhyme with cone. Cream first. London, Irish parents.

I'm Irish and I say scone (to rhyme with stone) , any Irish person who said scon would be thought to be putting on airs and graces.

I say scone to rhyme with cone and I'm a brummie.

"Scone" rhyming with "gone" 100%. I'm South West.

It has to be cream and then jam. You wouldn't put jam on toast and then butter on top. The dairy layer is the base layer.

O_e is a split-vowel digraph, therefore it should be pronounced to rhyme with 'grown".

Thank you and goodnight.

Scone rhymes with gone. From home counties, Irish parents. Live in Northern Ireland and here they say it to rhyme with gone too. And my local cafe does a delicious lemon curd one.

I asked the maid in dulcet tone
To order me a buttered scone
The silly girl has been and gone
And ordered me a buttered scone

@merryhouse that map is fantastic, thank you!

Scone (sounds like cone). I’m originally from Manchester, raised by an Irish father and have lived in the North East for 31 years.

Scone rhyming with cone - Irish

Brown scones with butter - warm or cold
Fruit scones with jam then cream /
Cheese scones plain

Are brown scones less common in Britain? I'm not usually a fan of things wholemeal / wholesome but love a brown scone.

And do scone-rhymes-with-cone people also say yo-rhymes-with-low-gurt as opposed to yog-rhymes-with-log-urt?

Sunderland based (surprise surprise! 😂)

Scon like gone.

love a plain scone with jam then cream, but favourite scone is a simple (no fancy crap) cheese scone!

Im a scone - gone and yog(log)hurt.

Scon. From the northwest like the Op. Never heard Scone other than on the Telly. Lancashire, if that makes any difference 🤔

@Belleager

And do scone-rhymes-with-cone people also say yo-rhymes-with-low-gurt as opposed to yog-rhymes-with-log-urt?

Yes. In Ireland we do.

Also the car brand is Pew-joe not Per-joe.

Scone (scon) with butter then jam then cream. Yum yum!

Scon and I'm in the South East.

I love them but they are the fattiest things alive, so I tend to very occasionally buy them for my DCs and then watch longingly as they eat them!
