[Food] Who sells the best scones in Brighton?

[Grassman]

Strangely my sister and I both say scone to rhyme with stone, but my mother say’s it to rhyme with Don. We were born in Portslade, she in Brighton.

 

[Razzoo]

Butter THEN Jam THEN Cream.

No, that's akin to sprinkling salt on your bacon sarnie. Much too much!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Equally importantly, is it scone as in Don (Revie) or scone as in stone?

Has to be the latter. Are motorways covered in cons?

 

[Brighthelmstone]

Waitrose?

Not a terribly convincing response. How do you pronounce ‘gone’ in the sentence ‘Now you’ve gone and done it’?

The entymology of cone is from French, Latin and/or Greek all pronounced as in stone. Gone is germanic pronounced as in Don. How's that?

[Super Steve Earle]

It's sconn not scoan.

Has to be, otherwise the 'what's the fastest cake?' joke doesn't work.

Better, much better. And the etymology of scone?

 

[KZNSeagull]

Scots or Dutch, both pronounced like Don. But that is from Wiki which we all know is wrong

Nicely done.

But if you said scone in a french accent it would sound somewhere between scoan and scon.
