Well, I’m from England and I haven’t the foggiest idea what any of you are talking about!

Hey! First time reading….quipwhit sent me over. Very interesting post….people in Kentucky (maybe just Lexington) call the garbage (like that you roll out to the street to be picked up) herbies.

I’m with you on the scones! A scone is a scone, I don’t care what other people say! And they’re delicious.

The only thing I can think of is that non~Utah folk aren’t very knowledgeable on Fry Sauce. I’m addicted to it. Every where I go, I need to have fry sauce with my fries. If they don’t have it, then I ask for some mayo and ketchup so I can make it myself. But once you go out of state and ask for it, people look at you like you’re a weirdo.

I am a Brit living in the States. I always want to throw a fit in Starbucks because those things are NOT scones! They’re not, people! Well, perhaps they are, here.

I happen to have made a batch of scones this week. Cheese, Onion and Olive scones. Holy Cow! They are awesome, if I do say so myself. But scones are good too when they’re baked plain and have jam and butter added while they’re still warm. I am drooling.

PS) I call it a buggy too, Miss Zoot. And I’ve lived in England, Italy, The South and The Midwest, so it’s a wonder that I know what to order at all when I want a diet coke.

I call a shopping cart a basket and all types of carbonated beverages are referred to as “coke”.
