Scone. And I put jam, then cream, and then more jam on top. I also pronounce it “scoon” when my father in law is around as he insists it should be that way (Scottish thing apparently…)
In Norfolk we love Cheese Scones! Cheese baked into the Scone, also another local fave is a Norfolk Rusk which in some way resembles a Savory plan scone.
Stick your Jam and Clotted Cream! 😁
Look, it's simply *easier* to first smear jam onto the scone, and then put a dollop of clotted cream on top of it. Not particularly easy to smear jam onto an already creamed scone without fucking up the knife ahead of dipping it in the jar for more jam.
I go with Scone, but my mother is firmly in the Scone camp. Interestingly my in-laws go with Scone, so that just goes to show you you really never know.
For what it’s worth, down here we don’t call them scones or scones, we refer to them as fancy bread things only super billionaires eat. Then we go back to eating bread and lard.
I’m from the coal smoke choked, industrial county of Surrey. Heartland of Labour. We might not have much like you fancy types with your scones and Teslas but we’re proud folk
Is it actually a discussionable topic within the UK?
I naively assumed it got mispronounced with an ocean in between.
I should make some actually. Hmmm
I struggle with this. I used to ‘assess’ the person I was talking to and use whichever seemed more appropriate. I was more wrong than right.
So now I just say scone (rhymes with bone) and hope for the best. You can see now how I overthink things.

It’s jam or cream first!? That’s where it’s at…
It’s Jam btw
If you say cream, we can never be friends

I mean WTF.
Nor this nonsense.
Ovs.
Scone, an example ; using split digraphs ….
Ton - tone
Bon - bone
Lon - lone
Con - cone
The ‘e’ at the end of word changes the ‘O’ to and ‘o’
Just my penny’s worth, however I’m fine with both 🥰
There's already enough tension around the jam/cream factions.
Are you trying to incite all-out war?
Like gone...eaten...consumed
With sodding jam THEN cream on!
On principle 😁
It's like Freaky Friday in here. 🤣
I'll tell the fire brigade to be on standby.
