Waitrose don’t make any grandiose claims about these little babies. Mearly stating that they are, “Delicious served with jam and cream”. And I can’t argue with that really. These are your basic pre-packaged off the shelf Waitrose own-brand jobs. In a pack of 6, they are a little on the small side, but lashings of fruit and a nice moist texture mean they get the thumbs up from me. Nice price too.

79p for 6. Excellent.

This scone comes from the cream cake fridge in the bakery area of Sainsbury’s in a box of two. Prefilled with cream and jam.

It’s really stretching the definition of scone. No fruit and the scone itself is very heavy on the icing sugar - I don’t mean the bit sprinkled on top - but they have obviously sugared this mightily with the stuff. Consequently you get none of the contrast between sweet jam and hearty scone - you just get acres of goopy sweetness. The jam itself is thin rubbish stuff. No fruit in the jam, no fruit in the scone.

£1.09 for two - pretty crappy.
