i'm now so british that i crap scones and pronounce "scone" correctly

At least you can understand that scones are not biscuits.

If you were so British you'd understand the controversy over the pronunciation of 'scone'.
 
We have gotten to the point in the cycle where the complainers about complainers are more obnoxious than the original.

...Why isn't Cook Serve Delicious greenlit yet? Is it because of the lack of a quirky art style reminiscent of the super Nintendo days of yore?
 
chubigans needs to add vaguely pixelated graphics to call it "retro," add a plotline where the food represents lukemia, physics puzzles and wacky humor that is in no way influenced by portal or braid, and then a bunch of shit about "it's like dark souls, minecraft, and slender"
 
If "biscuit" in England means cookie, then what the hell would I get if I went somewhere and ordered biscuits and gravy?

What the shit is biscuits and gravy? Sounds like dog food.

Biscuits don't quite equal cookies. There's a subtle difference. These or these are biscuits.

A cookies tends to be a sub-genre of biscuit. Not sure what you'd do with gravy on them.

Scones aren't just really dense biscuits?


There's controversy on how to pronounce scone?


A) Scones are less crunchy than biscuits. Closer to a bread product.

B) Skon (rhyming with Ron) vs. Scone (rhyming with stone). It is a big debate.
 
scone is pronounced scone but apparently it's supposed to be "scon" because vowels don't mean a thing apparently. just throw in all the "u"s you want and ignore the "e"s unless they're before an "r" in which case make them wrong and backwards for some reason

How do you pronounce the word "gone?" How would you pronounce it if there was an 's' before it?

Just like how Lara isn't pronounced Laura

Gone is different, it's like one of those old language things that you can't bother with.

Scones are dense bread things that are bad, nobody should care if we fix what British people broke when spelling it. If something was called a "sgone" I would pronounce it like it's spelled.

So its Aluminum-> Aluminium again. Yay for nonsense!

Biscuits and gravy is a traditional Southern breakfast that's widely beloved in America. Fresh baked buttermilk biscuits (the soft, buttery, American variant not cookies) and a white sawmill gravy made from drippings of breakfast sausage or bacon. The biscuits are halved and the gravy, often containing chunks of sausage or bacon, is poured over the top. Eaten with a fork.

It's pure comfort food, or a stick to your ribs breakfast on a cold day. Doesn't look particularly appetizing but the smell is amazing and dish itself is delicious.

I make some for my family every Sunday. Here's how it looks before combined.

I think you need to check your maths. Giant Bomb have never pronounced things correctly.
