Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted July 19, 2005 How about a scone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted July 19, 2005 Scones are thick bread that are flaky on the outside, and chewy on the inside for the most part. They come in a variety of flavors like this one which is orange and raisins: or this one which is a little more plain: At Starbucks, we usually sell cinnamon chip, cranberry orange, blueberry, and chocolate in the morning. They're better than I thought they would be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2005 English muffins are ok, but I don't like them that much. They are fune with a fried egg on them on just with butter and jelly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garth 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2005 Both scones and crumpets are delicious. To eat scones right though you gots to be having it with clotted cream and jam. I'm not a big cream fan, but love scones and strawberry jam. I don't remember a single instance however, when I have had both crumpets and tea. As far as American baked goods go, I'm eternally greatful for the blueberry muffin. They're the bomb, yo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
