Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted March 11 Share #3 Posted March 11 Scones are still in the Meh column for me. It’s like a donut and crouton had a baby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't but got a 20% off flyer (discount code RA9) from them for Easter and Mother's Day. Might check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted March 11 Share #9 Posted March 11 The best were: 1. Fort Calgary, catered breakfasts- It is a museum with upstairs meeting rm. facility. There were internal meetings on project management with former employer. Anyone who attended those meetings, often commented on the warm, light and tender-tasting scones. with butter/jam. 2. @This public restaurant inside a historic courthouse in downtown Toronto. Ontario lawyers and judges know about this place. But you can drop by..if it's not under retrofit right now. I used buy one occasionally with my coffee. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in a pinch, they can be used as a hammer or an effective defensive weapon if attached on the street. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, hot and fresh and with clotted cream and homemade preserves changed my mind for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted March 11 Share #12 Posted March 11 Scones, English Muffins and Bagels all have the ability to be awesome or horrible. Sometimes I am like This is Awesome and other times I am like I just loosened my teeth and scraped the lining of my mouth off with that thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sadly, true for most foods - at least the "ability to be horrible" bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to make a conscious effort to add beans to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted March 15 Author Share #15 Posted March 15 Just had another half of one and I am wondering what the apropos sweetness is sposed to be for a scone? This one is sweeter than most iirc. Maybe it is the blooberries, but owl try to remember to check the label when I get home. As a sidetrack, looks like forum search does snot use word stemming, because a search for scone did not turn this up. I wish all searches were run by google!

Ralphie ★ Posted March 21 Author Share #16 Posted March 21 These things have held up well. Been eating a half for a mid morning snack, so one left, and they still don’t taste like sawdust. Yay! For some reason my wife bought them and then abandoned them, so the house garbage-hound (moi, in case you were wondering), picked up the ball and ran with it. The sweetness is definitely dialed in. Just a touch of it. Getting proper sweetness is a real art form. Some things like grocery store cole slaw or tater salad can get it horribly wrong by being way tout suite. There are no nutritional facts on the label so no idea on the sugar content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
