The Drifting Argument Thread

Biscuits just can't contain potato of any description, that's against all laws of man, beast and nature.

Potatoes are for making crisps:

or maybe for making chips:

Or at a push, boiled (and possibly mashed).

Sweet potatoes aren't even potatoes (on either side of the Pond, I think). And they make a very nice muffin or bread (tea cake and cake respectively, I think, over there).

Based on the link, I think she's making sweet potato scones. I'm not sure what the hell my amaretto scones are, man.

You'd only put anything with 'potato' in the name in scones if you're scottish.

It'd completely ruin the clotted cream and jam otherwise.

Well, they're 'potato' in being an edible tuber, but I think that's as close as they get.

We have muffins, but they're probably different to your muffins judging by how this is going :D

Oh, teacakes are something else

Sometimes, more than one something else

We do have another muffin actually:

Not sure about sticking sweet potatoes in it though...

There is no place for stubbornness within the drifting thread.....dont be obtuse....or are you being acute...I dunno I never was good at geometry...;)

I don't know. I think clotted cream would work quite nicely on those sweet potato muffin scone things.

So those two pictures would be different things here. The first would probably be a coffee cake (so, close enough). The other we might even call a cookie, for reasons I do not comprehend.

Listen, you know I'm a stickler for staying on-topic. I just can't abide with folks introducing side-topics in a perfectly well-defined thread. Some people.........

At least your drifting is staying on-topic. Or something like that.

I'm staying on topic....topic is defined as "a matter dealt with in a text, discourse, or conversation; a subject.".... I can't help it if you have no idea what the subject is....now I have to tell you what it is don't I........ and I am pretty sure I was talking about triangles...Scalene, Isosceles. equilateral

Scalene always sounded like a skin disorder to me.
