if you worked in a restaurant i'd laugh at you, and i wouldnt eat there.
it's scone!! But my friends take the **** out of me because they think I've a posh accent!
It's "Scone", which rhymes with "Stone", "Phone", "Bone" etc.
Of course, some smarty pants will then point out that "Gone" ends in "o, n, e," and is pronounced the same as "scon". :bang:
I didn't realise there were so many common people/ peasants on the forum wanting to pronounce it "scon" rather than "scone" :devil:

rhyming with phone is the peasant way of saying it, peasants have just deluded themselves into thinking its posh - the correct way to pronounce it rhymes with gone.
how come no one has checked the phonetic dictionairy?

Audio of how Merriam-Webster says it should be pronounced:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?scone001.wav=scone
Main Entry: scone
Pronunciation: \ˈskōn, ˈskän\
Function: noun
Etymology: perhaps from Dutch schoonbrood fine white bread, from schoon pure, clean + brood bread
Date: 1513
: a rich quick bread cut into usually triangular shapes and cooked on a griddle or baked on a sheet
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/scone
Thus it can be pronounced both ways, though ˈskōn (pronounced "scone") is the primary phonetic entry, therefore that is the correct pronounciation for those au fait with the English language i.e. not peasants
