Hmmm, scones. Nothing quite like them in the US. They are best with butter and jam. They are like a cross between bread and pastry, not soft and fluffy, but easy to slice and a bit crumbly, slightly sweet, but still savory. We have already eaten tons of these in the week we have been here. Every coffee shop and supermarket sells scones, and we dutifully buy them.
