Not sweet scones, clearly! nossy Send a noteboard - 14/01/2010 03:43:58 PM
That is just scones in gravy.

Yes, I know it seems nuts to eat scones covered in gravy but they eat Yorkshire puddings with cream and jam, so it balances out.

Or makes them twice as nuts.
One of the two.


Really? That just sounds disgusting.

The only thing one should have on scones is jam (not jelly ><img class=' /> ) and cream


Buttery, flakey ones with creamy sausage gravy. I'm sorry to ruin your indignation:P, but I really do think anyone who likes to use bread to sop up gravy would probably love these (assuming they are made well).
