Shawn was torn between the biscuit and gravy and the trout, so I said to go with the trout and we'd have Biscuit and Gravy for 2nd appetizer

Is that gravy on the trout? I bow to your Southerness. 

[MexicanDragon]

"Dill crema" on the trout. But would have been better with gravy.

Afternoon cream tea (scone, clotted cream, strawberry jam)/ cappuccino in Regent's Park

So that's a scone in GB? Can you describe it? It looks similar to what us yanks call a biscuit.

[Craig Sawyers]

British scone recipe http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/scones_1285

My grandma (1897 to 1986) used to make these without scales to weigh anything out.  And used plain flour with cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda to make it self raising. They are the best scones I have ever tasted.

[swt61]

So it is denser than bread, like an American biscuit, but not as dense as an American scone, correct?

 

Edit: OK, after reading that recipe, it looks like what you consider a scone is very similar to what we call a shortcake.

Whatever the density or name, scones, clotted cream and jam is very tasty whether in the UK or Canada. Makes me hungry

And what they call a biscuit, we call a cookie.  And what they call the boot, we call the trunk.  And what they call suspenders, we call a bra.

You all would probably like my gramma's "korzhiki".  Basically, flour dough cookies.  Great with tea!
