Following traditional afternoon tea etiquette, once finished with our sandwiches, we moved on to my favorite course, the scones.
I was glad to see the traditional accompaniments of jam, cream, and lemon curd, but was again disappointed in the portions. We only received one small scone each, compared with the typical two large scones served in the U.K.
The scones themselves, were different from any English scone I’ve had. They were smaller, with softer tops and lightly dusted with cinnamon. For readers who have never had scones, they look like a biscuit, but are much sweeter. I included a comparison photo of scones from The Ivy in Cambridge, England.
Even though they were different, we both felt the Ballantyne’s version of a scone was very tasty. I just wish they served more than one each.
Way cool! Some very valid points! I appreciate you writing this article and
the rest of the website is extremely good.
Thanks – We’re glad you enjoyed the article and the site.
