    Scones should be served with Jam and Clotted Cream, not with a savoury jus. A Biscuit is a crisp, baked product that you would probably miss-label as a "Cookie". A "Cookie" is soft, not crisp.

    I agree, by the way I only just found out its quite easy to make your own clotted cream. It has to be strawberry jam too. :-)

        I believe most people do it the other way, but there is no right or wrong way apparently. :-)

          And if you do, where do you get it? I like B&G, and I usually get it from Arby's (They do a true Southern-Style B&G. Yum!) I've also heard good things about Hardees' B&G.

          What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

          I tried some last year at a Diner in Montpelier (Vermont) and it was crap. BTW, the Diner was replaced with a Pub this year ...

          I'd rather be phishing!

            "biscuits" in parts of the US can also be what the rest of of the world calls muffins.

              Oh yes there is. In Devon (where I first lived in this country) it is cream first. In Cornwall (where my son lives) it is apparently jam first. I know which tastes better. ;)

                    southern biscuits are much lighter than scones.

                                    And yet everything I've seen, heard or read about your country's cuisine suggests you value quantity over quality. ;P

                                      THIS! Although their gravy used to be better. They've made it more mild than 30 years ago.

                                        And despite many visits to the US I never managed to see B&G on a menu. Obviously my loss.
