Scones ruined
It happened to ginger ale, licorice and the Beach Boys. Now the humble scone is prepared to sacrifice its essential self to pander to Milquetoast tastes (and just in time for its “500th anniversary in the UK”).
A new line of scones launched by a Scottish company has been formulated to taste “more buttery.” It’s a response to “growing consumer demand for scones without the product’s well-known bi-carb aftertaste.”
No aftertaste?
That’s not a scone. It’s a cookie.
