This is one of lifes great questions. Originating in Britain, a scone is a small quickbread made of wheat, barley or oats. But the main question is how to correctly pronounce the word 'scone'. There are two ways that are used, 'scone' (pronounced "Scone", like "stone") and 'scone' (pronounced "Sc-on, short and sweet, ryhmes with 'on').

Often served as part of a 'cream tea', scones can be accompanied with jam and cream.

They winna say scone as in stone if it's the Stone of Scone they're talkin aboot.



EDIT: Just to confuse matters, my (Scottish) parents don't say "stone" anyway, they say "stane".
