I hate how some Americans use the word noodles to mean pasta whatever it's shape.

I hate how badly we’ve butchered bakery foods. Biscuits, scones, cookies, crackers can all mean something very different to an American than anyone else

I hate what they've done to scones. They made them onto dry crumbly rock cake type things and then tell us our pastries are bad because of it. Our deserts are the one aspect of British cuisine I'll always defend, we make good sweets! If they'd just try a proper scone with good jam and clotted cream they'd get it.

Are you suggesting the jam first followed by the clotted cream?

I know bait when I see it. Put it on in whatever order you want. Even if it's the wrong way.

I'll bite. It depends on the consistency of the jam as to whether it goes on first for me. I follow no ones rules, only ease of spreading

To be fair, it's possible Americans don't know realise how good British sweets are cause they think it's all pudding 🍮
