Pronounce scone.. NOT scone..

Hmmmm. Having a pronunciation argument on a forum doesn't quite seem to work.

Wouldn't stop you having an argument though, would it?

As in rhymes with cone not gone.

Tom's Kitchen do a nice ham and cheese croissant.

If I'm just buying a plain croissant, I'm eating it plain. No butter or jam; at that point you should have bought a scone.

Always ate them unadorned and undunked.

I do remember that Pret used to do a egg and bacon croissant which was rather nice.

Well considering that the French can’t make a decent baguette <linky> I shall continue to have a nice raspberry jam with my croissant

Freedom croissant?

[NibblyPig]

Maybe it could be called a Broissant to reflect the UK and EU

Vincent Roussel, the manager of the bistro at London’s Institut Français, the centre for French culture in the UK, said: “In England, lots of British [people] eat it with butter and jam, but in France we eat it plain. We don’t cut it to put something inside, unless it’s an almond croissant and then it’s a filling to put inside.

He should try one with bacon and Nutella....

The French have been eating them wrong.

Waitrose is selling nice ones, yum.

Dunking them in coffee soon sorts that it.

Simply not buying them from Tesco, horrible shop, avoids that problem.
