@SorenMRiis That's not a question because the jam goes on first, no question
@CiaraNi You seem rather opinionated on these matters...
Also, scone rhymes with gone because I dated a Scouser for 3 years, and it's cream first because it's a damned mess to spread clotted cream on top of jam.

Ditto:
'Why are you still on Bluesky too?'
'But did you *delete* your Twitter account?'
’You said you switched to Proton mail too, oh that’s bad, once someone at Proton said something’
It’s nice to see new neighbours move into the Fediverse. It feels unwelcoming to see people immediately interview them about the purity of their intentions. Or telling them You’re Doing It Wrong. They've just arrived on a journey away from Big Tech. Maybe they'd prefer to be offered a seat and a cup of tea.
@CiaraNi I didn't know I needed this thread but I needed this thread.
This is the best part of the fediverse.
I have become educated, uneducated, then educated again on tea related topics.

The fact that the thread under this Serious Toot has ascended into a pleasant war about the correct way to pronounce Scone is why I love the Fediverse
@CiaraNi If you ever resolve that war, you can refine it into the cream/jam first mayhem!

@CiaraNi The correct answer back is to reply: "yes, I do everything wrong. It's the story of my life. Can you fix that for me?"
@timo21 Ha yes, if they want to issue the instructions, they need to come over and do the work involved

@SorenMRiis By 'opinionated', you meant 'right', of course.

@knowprose Haha thats a very Fediversey experience too, to me - I become educated, uneducated, then educated again as I read through some discussion

@Devonkiwi There is only mayhem if someone puts the cream first. And sure who would do a thing like that.

@CiaraNi Wrong.
@SorenMRiis Fair

@CiaraNi the correct way to pronounce scone, in any language, is yum!

@JamesNielsen Finally the right answer, one on which we can all agree!

@Sarahw @CiaraNi @bleistifterin @rgarner Drink coffee. You don't have to be fussy how you add the cream. It al mixes together.

There's only one way to drink coffee - black! -

@CiaraNi the joke to me is that I was born in one former English colony (US) that had a famous tea party..
Then went to another English colony and grew up in my teens where lipton was considered tea...
Then had family return from Europe to fight over tea...
So I started drinking coffee...
So this thread reminds me of home.
-
@CiaraNi Grrrrrrrr!
@Devonkiwi @CiaraNi I've lived both sides of the Tamar, eaten scones in both counties, and honestly they all taste exactly the same.
Pasties, now. They're a different story altogether.

There's only one way to drink coffee - black!@Sarahw That is almost but not quite true
