How about fresh fruits and vegetables?  >:D
Nuts and seeds anyone?  >:D

I enjoy cookies, but only homemade....with no sugar. 
Bananas add enough sweetness.

Judging by your picture, you might want to re-think the sugar thing. You look like a brisk wind would snap you in half :o

Dont re-think if you're diabetic though. Only re-think if you're too skinny ;)

Come to think of it, they're not really similar at all, although they look kinda similar.

An American biscuit is like a bread, whereas a scone is more like a cake. One is savoury, one is sweet. One is eaten with gravy (eww), the other is eaten with clotted cream and jam.



Most of the time not eaten with gravy and in America clotted cream (ewww) would be thrown in the garbage.

Biscuits and sausage gravy?  Mmmmmmmmm  :@` :@`

Good stuff especially with grits but I guess you have to be American to appreciate it.

Anyway Tom, you spent time in the UK. I'm sure you didnt spend your entire time getting your library card punched. I'm sure you must have spent many a pleasant hour, sitting somewhere hip and groovy, dressed in your plaid trousers, London Fog raincoat and USS Arkansas baseball cap, eating a cream tea.
...

It was a Man. U. beanie actually and WTH is a cream tea (ewww).

Sausage gravy on biscuits? Bring it on!  :@`

I googled clotted cream, and it looks like someone mixed butter and cream cheese together. How bad can it be?  ;)
Just say no to rugs!

It is kind of buttery/cream cheesey :) its just a very thick cream.

A cream tea is: sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, jam, and tea :) its a meal, like breakfast or dinner, and it's usually eaten at around 4pm.

My local supermarket has started to sell Pop Tarts :o
Yet another example of the rampant symptoms of decay of the British Empire.  Are they serving them with tea?

I've never eaten a pop tart.

"Clotted cream" just has a bad name. If it were named "Extra thick cream" (which is pretty much what it is) no one would bat an eye.

And, it's delicious!

I kinda like Pop Tarts - strawberry unfrosted to be exact.  I don't know if it's still the case, but the primary ingredient in the filling of "strawberry" Pop Tarts was apples!  I think a strawberry may have been in the general vicinity when Kelloggs was manufacturing strawberry Pop Tarts.

That's funny. My granddaughter has a chocolate frosted one every once in a while. They are the only ones that she likes.
