Is serving a cheese scone with soup acceptable?

Yabu - yes, soup and a scone is delicious
Yanbu - no, it's ridiculous

Yes! Delicious. Fruit scone no.

Musicaltheatremum · Today 09:48

Yes I always go for this option rather than a roll

I voted the wrong way! 😭

As long as it is a big cheese scone. Not fruit.

A warm cheese scone is the best with soup.

It's fine.

It's a yuck from me but I never knew savoury scones existed until I moved to England - scones are always sweet for me and I can't get my head around a cheese scone - blagh.

Yes of course it is fine, very common in traditional cafes.
If you don't personally like cheese scones that's fine but anyone making a fuss about this is a PITA.

I’ve never thought of this before but now it is genuinely all I want in the whole world right now.

Buzzlightfear · Today 10:46

I really want a cheese scone now.

HRTtoHeart · Today 10:48

Ideally a warm cheese scones with butter!

How could it be ridiculous?

I made cheese scones to go with our pumpkin soup at Halloween. It was delicious.

I am going to vote YANBU only because I like dunking a bread roll in soup and I think I would make too much mess if the scone was too crumbly.

Bloody love a cheese scone though.

Yes please. Sounds delicious. My mum used to make soda bread (basically a giant savoury scone) to have with soup. I loved it.

I absolutely have to make both of these this weekend, now. I am drooling at the thought of it, and we have a big blue-grey squash in the fridge to use up.

delish combination

TBH, I've always wondered what an earth people use savoury scones for? It's now on my list of things to try.

Oh it's a lovely combo. Before I retired I would sometimes take this in for my lunch. In fact I am planning to make mushroom soup for lunch and have just got some bread out of the freezer to go with, but I am now thinking about putting it back and knocking up some cheese scones instead

Wickedwhiskers · Today 11:01

One of my favourite lunches!

FallingFlying · Today 11:02

Just been to lift the butter out of the fridge so I can make cheese scones. Thank you.

notacooldad · Today 11:02

Who are you it serving to?

Personally I wouldn't like it because im not a fan of soup and I dont like savoury scones.

Ultravox · Today 11:03

Cheese scones are an abomination. Team sweet scone here! And not with soup
