Actually, the US biscuit has some flavor, if only bacon grease and
salt. I've yet to taste a Limey scone with ANY flavor, whatsoever.

OTOH, Brits will be glad to know, "scones" are currently all the rage,
here in the USA. Of course this is after some "artisan" baker has
heaped ona buncha extra crap to give the typically flavorless scone
something resembling ANY flavor. You know, blueberries, raspberries,
cinammon, sage, pineapple, or some other crazy condiment that tastes
like dog crap with country gravy.
