Snack Semantics

I once thought a scone and a biscuit were the same thing—just floury cousins with different accents. But apparently, the difference is more than geography.

Exhibit A: The Scone

Scones are proper. They show up at tea time, wearing clotted cream and jam like accessories. They can be a little crumbly, a little dense, sometimes studded with raisins or blueberries.

Scones don’t shout. They politely request you sip tea while nibbling.

Exhibit B: The Biscuit

Biscuits are bold. They’re warm, buttery, and often stacked high in baskets at breakfast. You split them, slather on butter or gravy, and suddenly you’re in comfort-food heaven.

Biscuits say: “Forget the tea, pass the gravy boat.”

The Pandy Explanation 🐼

Pandy, naturally, had to clear things up.
“Scones lean sweet, for tea. Biscuits lean savory, for meals. Their dough and fat content make them behave differently.”

I nodded like I understood, but really, I was distracted by the butter.

The Mini Blue Test 🐙

Mini Blue inspected both, then hopped into a scone and turned polite lavender. Then into a biscuit, turning buttery yellow and flopping over in a food coma.

Conclusion: Mini Blue approves of both, but requires nap time after biscuits.

Doggie’s Final Verdict

Scone = tea time.
Biscuit = meal time.

Both = snack time if you’re me.
