And they don't just have them with tea/coffee they use them for like a side with meals. Or in Tim Hortons (cafe/fast food) They do breakfast bisuits with like sausage/egg/cheese or bacon/egg/cheese. I think McDonalds do them now aswell.



I don't think a thread would do either. Need an entire forum to explain that
I'd like to clarify that a bit. A scone in Canada is a scone. Big dry biscuit lumpy thing. They can pose as breakfast or a big snack.

A biscuit in Canada is a biscuit - preferably buttermilk. They are flat and usually cut in half to make a mini-sandwich. Like for a mcmuffin style egg-on-muffin idea. Not to be confused with an English muffin, which is a usually sourdough biscuit full of air bubbles that toasts up deliciously.
