"football" though. John's a Utd fan, and I'm a fan of England in general, so we're just a mess over here!!
But the lucky charm scones I made for the big game were definitely winners.
The Manchester Mashed Potato Scone. Yes, Sir Alex Ferguson loves potato scones. Although he's a Scotsman, Scottish scones are a bit more like crumpets, but nobody has to know that. Our patrons at the shop didn't really get the connection but they were enjoyed none the less. I explained it to one man (a long time scone fan) and he appreciated it. He even took one home to have for breakfast with some eggs...and some blood pudding? Haggis?
So lesson learned: Good Scones do not mean great Football victories. But they were really yummy. I added chives and sour cream and the mashed potatoes maintained their fluffiness but it was still crumbly like a scone.
So here's some more ideas for sports related scones...
Chicago Cubs Deep Dish Scone? Bronx Bomber Pizza Scone? Savory Sabre Buffalo and Blue Cheese Scone? Dallas Cowboys Chipotle Scones?
I think I'm on to something...gimme a box to wear around my neck and some singles so I can quickly make change.
Scones here! Gettcher scones here! Fresh baked scones here!
