Scone abomination

[AinmÁlainn]

I picked up a scone for myself, raisin, natch. Kept it for a cuppa after a long and difficult meeting. I made the perfect cup of tea and the butter gods smiled on the spreadablility of the ideal amount. I took a delicious bite. Only to find that it wasn't a raisin scone, it was chocolate chip and the scone itself was orange flavoured. What sort of monster has taken over my favourite bakery counter?

Hugs. Obviously you're not being unreasonable. Hope your afternoon is better, but this will take some getting over (chocolate?? In a scone? Why did anyone think this was needed?!)

I thought you were going to say they put the cream on first, then the jam. But yes - yours sounded yuck!

I could get on board with a chocolate chip scone at a push but an orange flavoured one?? That's unhinged.

Yuck! I would be horrified too OP.

Report the shop for crimes against baking. Whoever came up with this disaster should be forced to eat banana flavoured croissants for a week.

To be honest it sounds better than a raisin one, although any scone that's not a cheese scone is an abomination really.

Yuck! Although one of the nicest scones I have ever had was a rhubarb and ginger one. And I want a scone right now!

Morrisons sell scones with Belgian chocolate chips that are delicious, but in a different way to a fruit scone. They are not orange flavoured though, that does sound bad.

I am appalled and utterly dumbfounded at the sheer atrocity of your terrible scone-sperience.
You poor thing.

Please consider taking a not inconsiderable lie down in a darkened room to try to mitigate your horror.

Thoughts and prayers OP.

You can get through this.

I’m with chocolate and orange do not belong together let alone in a scone.

Oo but that sounds delicious!!

That's what I was thinking of. They are delicious!

Not to rub it in, OP, but I've just had a lovely fruit scone, toasted, with butter and my hot chocolate. Mmmmmm 😋

And I'm off to my favourite teA room
Later abs they do huge scones. I'm going to have one for lunch and get two to take away for my night shifts next week. I shall spare you a thought as I bite into the plump juicy fruit.

Sounds amazing. Where from???

I am just pointlessly adding that I had a cheese scone in a tea shop last week that came with butter, homemade chutney and TWO THICK SLICES OF CHEESE (cheddar and Red Leicester) [preen].

I'm sorry, chocolate & scone should not be in the same sentence. As for orange..
I think you owe us the bakery name, if it's a nationwide one, so that we can all avoid this travesty.

I'm so fed up with the judgemental pile-ons on here. This scone sounds delicious. Who picks raises over chocolate? Sickos and perverts, that's who.

Sounds quite nice really.

Was it labelled at all? Or is it like a scone lucky dip at this bakery?

This sounds like heaven!!! Where did you get this baked delight??? I WANT ONE

*raisins obviously. I was so angry I couldn't type.

Jesus. My jaw actually dropped. I’m so sorry that happened OP.

I like chocolate orange as much as the next person, but chocolate orange and BUTTER? Chocolate orange and JAM AND CREAM?? A scone is not the right format for chocolate orange.

That’s the dream. It’s called a Gentleman’s Tea although I find that sexist.
