How do you pronounce "scone"? - Lemmy.world

I need your help to settle this perpetual disagreement in my home. I’m team ‘skon’ whereas my husband is team ‘skone.’ Some context, we are not native to the UK so I will humbly accept consensus.

Brought up in the home counties and it's always been scone (bone) to me.

Related controversy: café, one or two syllables??

Depends. If it's a greasy spoon sort of place, then caff. If it's a bit posh, then caff-ay

I agree. A caff and a caffay are 2 different things
