scones are usually sweet
biscuits are not - usually slightly buttery/salty

[Staggerwing]

Here scones are more like muffins. Biscuits are very soft inside when freshly baked unless they are drop-biscuits. Those have a more scone-like texture.

yeah, you misunderstood Brant - youre making them wrong!

[bayonetbrant]

not to my taste buds, I'm not ;)

y'all have the occasional good bits to eat - we ask anyone traveling to the UK to bring back some McVitties Mini Cheddars any time they go - but overall, I prefer most Cajun/Southern US cuisine to anything y'all have :)

Jesus, man........... mini cheddars?

they taste of feet!

The wife likes them and they're better than the cheez-its we get over here.
I'm a fan of the Nestle Milkybars but we can actually get those here.

One of the best meals we had on any vacation was at the restaurant in Kenmore on Loch Tay.
But on balance, there's plenty of good eats anywhere you go, as long as you know what to look for.
When any of y'all nooks get around to coming over here, I'll get you some of the best BBQ you've ever had, and then get you some other excellent eats in about a 5-mile radius.

For excellent eats, you might consider a trip to Monterey, CA.  Best German restaurant I've ever been to (and remember I lived in Germany for 8 years) and best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to (tho not lived in China, eaten a LOT of chinese food) and one of the best patisseries I've ever been to (including a LOT of trips to France), and finally, the best clam chowder I've ever had (though I'll admit I need to try more)
Oh, and about 3 miles up the road in Marina is the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to, and one of the very few I'll actually volunteer to go to.

im coming just for this. Ive worked in Germany countless times, Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Dussledoorf and Stuttgart mainly and ive NEVER found a good place to eat apart from a national steakhouse chain - the blokhaus. All ive ever been subjected to is boiled meat, boiled sausage, and cabbage with dumplings - im all ears for good german food

she has a manlier jawline than you do

[Martok]

In BayonetBrantland they are made by hand and covered in gravy:

And I can't stand them that way - total waste of a biscuit.

Good -- more for the rest of us then!

Hey, boiled sausage and cabbage with dumplings *is* good German food!  You apparently just lack the palate to properly appreciate it, is all.  :P 

[skeptical.platypus]

I think anybody who finds a reason not to enjoy gravy -- however it's colored -- is just not doing it right.

Give me your white, with brown bits,
Your dark masses yearning to smother free range turkey,
The wretched refuse of your teeming, dripping meats,
Send these, the gravies, the slowly simmered, to me:
I post on GrogHeads, the golden forum
