Scones are a small bread like cake with can be either plain, with raisins or cheese. They are a England cake and are often served with fresh strawberries and clotted cream. Think McD muffins but sweet and slightly smaller.

I met a chap this afternoon in Ciledug - a man who would have no clue what scones are.
I do know what they are, but the pronunciation is in question.

Ah yes.

We pronounce Scone as in gone or scone as in cone. It depends how polite one speaks.
