"Scone as in bone.
Evidence:
'cone' as in ... 'cone'. Prefix this by 's' s-cone ... hence scone as in bone.
Not scone as in gone. It it were written 'scon' - then yes, it would be as in 'con'."
Well explained that man... all the heathens who say scone as in gone... begone with you!!!  |

"Pork pie.
Don't like scones "
I was a baker for many years. I once visited a pie factory that produced pork pies... needless to say I have never eaten one again, I cant even see one without getting a bit of sick in my mouth!!!  |

"Ah but if we followed that logic 'ough ' in a word would only be pronounced one way, instead of the umpteen ways we say it now.
So havatyou!"

Scone as in bone, butter, jam and just a smidgeon of cream (whipped, not clotted for me)
Eat the top and the bottom half seperately with the half that is crustier being eaten last.
Not that I am anal about these things of course  |

Ahhh, but I am a Londoner, so I eat according to logic, not tradition. If you spread the jam first, you seal it on the scone (as in bone) with a layer of clotted cream.... which can be either Devonshire or Cornish!!! |

Born in Cornwall..yes that's tricky, but not irreversible..think the answer is straightforward...you have lovely, soft rolling curves, much more commiserate with Devon than hard, angular Cornwall. |

What's with all you weirdos having cream on jam? It's jam on cream! You need something substantial for the cream to cling to then you can just dollop the jam on top.
Oh, and it's scone as is gone up here! |

"Scone as in gone ... and cough as in coff and not 'cow' as in bough with a 'c' (English is a crazy-as-shit language so logic can't be applied)
then
clotted cream on top of strawberry jam. "
Usually an 'e' at the end of a word is silent but makes the earlier vowel sound like the way you would pronounce the name of the letter (ie think of the vowel sound changing in 'not' and 'note').
Infants school teachers often call this the 'magic e'.
But English pronunciation is barking mad, often because we pronounce words in ways related to where the word came from.
If scones originally came from Viking/Celtic lands that would explain why 'normal' people go for the short vowel (grabs tin hat).
Scones should be eaten quickly, before the kids get home from school. |

Its a question of volume and viscosity.
Jam sandwich= thin spread (volume) of butter, which is easier to spread (viscosity) than jam. Therefore bread then butter then jam.
Cream scone (as in bone)= thin, although not too thin, spread (volume) of jam, which is easier to spread (viscosity) than clotted cream. Therefore scone (as in bone) then jam, then a large unhealthy dollop (tehnical term) of clotted cream.

As a good Yorkshire girl it's scone as in gone.
And I'm not a big fan, but occasionally (generally at a national trust property that does a full afternoon tea) it will be jam first then lashings of clotted cream - NOT whipped!  |

Obviously Physics not a strength..everybody knows that quality strawberry jam has a lower viscosity than most jams (low pectin content) clotted cream at room temperature has a lower viscosity than butter..and of course cream first allows you to spread it on the scone due to the friction acting on the scone..try spreading cream on jam!...seriously thinking of naming and shaming you in one of the local Cider bars! |

"Scone as in bone and cream on jam for me.
How do you pronounce and eat yours?
Ben..take that Unioned Jacked arse and scurry off to the Duchy!..in Devon it's jam on cream, anything else is a Cornish perversion ...you're right about scone though!
Ahhh, but I am a Londoner, so I eat according to logic, not tradition. If you spread the jam first, you seal it on the scone (as in bone) with a layer of clotted cream.... which can be either Devonshire or Cornish!!!
okay okay okay - need some logic on this principle applied to me then ............ born in Cornwall, lived in Devon ...... which thesis should I follow then.........????
Born in Cornwall..yes that's tricky, but not irreversible..think the answer is straightforward...you have lovely, soft rolling curves, much more commiserate with Devon than hard, angular Cornwall."
Missed this one earlier - why thank u very very much |

Scone as in gone. Always cream on jam, it's easier to spread that way round.

Scone as in gone, then a bit of jam, then clotted cream, then a bit of jam on the top bit of the scone, then squish together gently, then take apart again and munch.
Ooo and a nice pot of tea. I think I'm getting old |

"Scone as in bone and cream with jam on top born and bred devonian so expert on subject
THIS  "
Foolish woman. So many things in Devon are fantastic, but the traditional way of eating scones is totally flawed.
I have to say, the other thing I hate down here is rough fudge, yuk! Gimme the smooth stuff any day! |

There is a fudge shop in Lymington that does the best fudge I have ever tasted, Rum and Raisin is the best.
When I first came to Devon I found a fudge shop in Torquay and bought a stack of it as I love fudge. Took one mouthful and just got a mouthful of rough crystals. Threw the rest away! |

I suppose it depends from where you originate from, geographically.
To us Scots, it is scone (as in gone) but to all the others south of the border, in Englandshire, they pronounce it as scone as in bone!
So there! |

I thought the Scots called them scone as in boon? Or is that just that old rock we had hidden under a chair for ages? |

It's clear you are a Sassenach.
What you are trying to describe is the Stone of Scone and NOT just an old rock as you insultingly call it! |

*bump*
as this has just been brought up on another thread, I would like to resurrect it.
I have done extensive research, including speaking to the Head Lecturer at Oxbridge in Sconology. He has confirmed that I am correct in my scone eating methodology, jam with cream on top. If you can now all please start eating them this way, we will all sleep easier tonight.
As an aside, I have been in touch with our new police commissioner and asked him to make correct consumption of scones a top priority. He has agreed it is a crime against all that is Holy and instructed the local police forces to get out of the donut shops and patrol with scone vigilence.
I have just heard that Mabel Tregothick from Newton Ferras has been Tasered for applying cream before jam... good riddance I say!

Good. I strongly feel that Ms Tregothick should be committed at the nearest Assizes as a matter of urgency, locked in a pillory and have the local constabulary pelt her remorselessly for at least six hours with their stale doughnuts. In fact, I shall write forthwith to my newly appointed Police Commissioner..... should I ever find out who the hell that is....????

Well, being from the nation who invented them, it is pronounced scawn. Except Scone, which is pronounced Scown. Grates my teeth to hear scown instead of scawn. Fair makes me hesitate for all of a second before slathering on the butter lol |

I have consulted the rules and as you are from north of England you are discluded, as all pronouncitation from your part of the world is wrong... |

Mm yet it is the English who pronounce words incorrectly even though they came up with the language. Baff instead of bath. Free instead of three. Fink instead of think. Etc etc. |
