I guess the food industry should be a non profit organization. ?

Some types of pears like boscs when harvested too soon can be gritty
but most pears are not gritty. I like fresh pears a lot but my
favorite is canned pear halves.

They'll cut any corner to make an extra cent. When someone sells crap
and you don't buy it, does that make you a liberal? Or does it just
make you a bit more critical than the average sheeple?

When a company makes prefab food items and is interested in the bottom
line, but not in the quality of the food, I won't buy their crap,
because crap it will be.

Actually they don't sell many staples, they sell mostly pre-made stuff.

Not every company races to the bottom:

Yes, they're in business to make a profit. No, they don't do that at
the expense of quality.

Whole Foods (of late) syndrome!

Hard to imagine a $4 scone.

Even Starbu$x only charges $2.

I would hope so. I don't mind paying for quality and bought a $5 pastry
from a bakery selling at the farmer's market. It should have sold for
50 cents. My hopes of a nice were dashed.

That's great. But it doesn't apply to most supermarket products.
They'll cut any health/quality/decency corner for an extra cent.

That must be one hell of a scone! Some folks like to pay more for food. It makes them feel like they're a part of a group that's bigger, glitzier, higher class, than they are. Mostly it means that they're paying more for food.. I wouldn't want to order anything from folks that would charge $8 for a pound of calrose rice. Those guys got a lot of chutzpah!

You can't tell good food from prefab crap. So it's logical that you
would think all more expensive food is a rip-off.

Your notion of what might be "logical" is as corrupted as every other
hateful screed that comes off your filthy ****ing keyboard, you
miserable rabbit-killing, spaniel-felching pedophile trash!

I think the price of scones may depend on the pronunciation. The more
difficulty the counter person has saying scone to rhyme with stone the
higher the price. There is no reason for them to be expensive because
they are cheap and easy to make.

My palate is pretty good, although I do have an odd numbness with my salt receptors. Quit being such a drama queen/drama troll. I never said that all expensive food is a rip off. Some foods are expensive because they're hard to get. Most expensive foods these days are priced due to marketing/busness considerations. That's fine with me. If it makes you happy, buy it!

I'd pay for a $4 scone if it was made by people I know but I ain't gonna pay 4 bucks for some dopey, stale, industrial, scone.

The scone controversy is one big waste of time. Call it whatever you want. If you aspire towards the pretentiousness, just call it a s'con. Me? I'm just going to start calling it a "biscuit."

But didn't you know the industry knows how to get the flavour right?
Thank you, food industry!

Yeah right, use a French word when there's already a good old English
one. That's so pretentious!

Well alright! I met a guy last week that told me he was a musician. He explained to me that he's been playing for 35 years. I said "Metallica, right?" He said "yes" and seemed quite happy that I knew who he was. Near as I can figure, he must have thought I was an old fart. Let me tell you, he wasn't that much younger than me - young whippersnapper!

Zingerman's pays its workers a decent wage. It pays rent in Ann Arbor.
They are generous with charity (Food Gatherers, for example). I consider
it well worth the price.

Starbucks and other coffee shop scones are all usually way too expensive
and way to sweet. We had them regularly when I was a kid. They were
served at breakfast or for afternoon tea when my grandmothers were
visiting, or when we visited them, and the were served fresh, not hot
out of the oven, but still warm. Like tea biscuits, once they cool off
the texture goes down the tubes.

I don't care how they pronounce it, but, as I noted, the places where
the staff try hard to call them scones like scones usually charge more.
They are just a biscuit. They should be served with clotted cream or
whipped cream and strawberry jam, not drizzled with a sugary glaze.
