Just read a post by Selby White where he asks do you say S-cone or S-con it's the latter for me same as its Bath & not Barth. So how do you pronounce scone

it's con with an S in front of it. I can only allow a Scot to call it a scone, just doesn't seem right otherwise.

On the regional food name theme, anyone like a "pastie supper" ? Not a meat and potato shortcrust type thingy at bed time, the REAL pastie supper !

There's no rule set by how it's spelled, it could be scon to rhyme with gone, scone to rhyme with tone, or scun to rhyme with done or scwon with one. Hope this helps

Barff is somewhere we've been this morning on a walk.
