Here in the Intermountain West, we have one place that is especially
heavily used. The sign out front declares Scones in huge black
letters. They are always piping hot and just made. It's also been a
place to stop (at least 50 years) on the way home from a night out
drinking. Good coffee and hot, large scones. Nothing in the dough
itself. You get butter and jam along with your scones. I can't
really tell you what else is on the menu. You go in, sit down and say
scones and coffee.
