Hi! Scone rhymes with ‘gone’. It’s from the German ‘Schonne brot’ (brot is bread). Schonne (pronounced ‘shon-nuh’) has been anglicised in its spelling and become ‘scone’.

Seriously if you want to see a room full of Brits become absolutely enraged, just start the scone pronunciation debate, it’s worse than the jam and cream thing! Most of your tips are totally correct though – if I saw someone using a fork for afternoon tea or making a ‘scone burger’ I’d shudder. Oh also, we usually just call Devonshire Devon. It’s a slightly weird one, it’s a Devonshire (DEV-n-sha) cream tea, but it’s from Devon 🙂
