If I’m reading this correctly it’s saying about 1 in 4 people in Dublin pronounce it like “gone” and that is absolutely false. Never once have I ever heard that pronunciation here.
CONE GANG!
edit: I’d be curious how other English speaking countries pronounce it.
Reading through replies it seems Americans are cone heads while Aussies are gone. Fascinating.
Quite interesting that there’s a north/south split in Yorkshire. Anyone from there able to confirm if that’s a divide that applies in other less important fields than scones?
It’s actually really good, just nothing like you’d expect from the name. I was curious about it and ordered it on a trip there. Very heavy meal but very tasty.
Sausage gravy uses pan drippings from cooking ground breakfast sausage to create a bechamel sauce. It’s usually then flavored with black pepper. Breakfast sausage is also often flavored with sage. From what I understand American-style breakfast sausage isn’t really a thing in the UK so it might be difficult to picture the flavor profile.
I have to also admit, as an American i imagine a scone as a little triangular cake, so I laughed looking at those Popeye’s biscuits floating in the corner of the image.
I wouldn’t say it rhymes with gone, but it’s very close. For me, “gone” would be /gɒːn/, while “scone” would be /skɒn/. The difference being the length of the vowel.
There are some pretty sharp divisions in Ireland it seems. Bonniconlon looks to be holding out as a ‘gone’ stronghold in the top corner of Mayo for example.
