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?

I'm with you - an orange/chocolate scone is an abomination. Scones should be plain or have rasins (or maybe cherries) in.

Don't even start me on the abomination that is a cheese scone.............

I want to sympathise, but can't be sure you're pronuncing scone correctly. I'd hate to waste scone compassion on a monster who gets the vowel sound wrong.

Awesome post darn right you are NOT unreasonable

LTB (leave the bakery)

I'd quite like that but not if I wasn't expecting it. The nicest scone I ever had was cherry and orange.

Oooh that there is last supper food

Scone abomination: my new girlband.

I've never found a Butler's Panty scone that really fulfilled the brief. Avoca scone are delicious but too big. But I'm boycotting anyway because of the direct provision thing.

And didn't you hear the 1990s are the new 2020s? Natch is back, baby!

😂I must have missed the memo!

I am in the UK but used to live in Dublin and Avoca pear and Almond scones are my choice of last meal on death row, I didn't realise there was a controversy, I'll have a Google.

Hope you get a better scone soon OP.

I love a chocolate scone I put chocolate spread on instead of jam and butter, you can feel your arteries clogging up just looking at it, but it is delicious.

A shop near me was selling mince pie scones before Christmas. They even had a dribble of icing on the top.

This

I'm also a butter only person! Jam and cream spoils it!

The ONLY scones worthy of that name have dried fruit (for me, have to be raisins or sultanas) in them.

ANYTHING else - ABOMINATION.

My thoughts are with you at this stressful time.

Sending hugs.

Sounds like it would have been much nicer than a scone with raisins in it 😂 i hate any kind of dried fruit though. Plus if I’m eating a scone it’s one I’ve made at home and they’re plain and never a disappointment (I do have cream/jam or cream/lemon curd on them, I don’t eat them totally plain!!).

You toast your scones?????

That does sound really odd.

Today when I was in Tesco I saw they were selling...

....

wait for it...

Red velvet hot cross buns.

I mean WHY?

I feel so sorry for you! If a bloke had done something heinous like this I would say LTB but I’m unsure what the fruity scone version is! LTP ( leave the place) but as it was a takeaway order, i would definitely never set foot in the place again and leave a negative review anyway my thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time, we are all here if you want support or just a rant

Thoughts and prayers in your time of need, OP.

Giggling at "Butler's Panty"

Raisins are the devil's shit pellets.

Where do I get this amazing sounding scone please?

There really are some highly disturbed people in this world. This thread is highlighting that.

Op, think carefully before you disclose the purveryor of the aforementioned offensive item. Do you really want to be responsible for more of them being created? Could you live with that on your conscience?

My sympathies OP, sounds awful

Though whilst we're on the general subject of scones I trust we are all pronouncing it 'Sconn'. <runs for the hills>
