northeast USA reporting in - scones have gotten more common in this area over the last 5 years or so and while I'm not sure you'd find them at a 3 star hotel, you'd definitely find them at a moderate level restaurant that served breakfast/other pastries - ours look like this https://goo.gl/images/ucZzfm

ah okay gotcha. I looked at the pic and lmao those are not the scones I had in mind (at least in terms of shape) but thanks for telling me it’s mostly uncommon. I think I’ll go with something else haha.

The closest thing to what you call a "scone" from what I understand is what we call "biscuits" and they're far more common in the American South. It's often served with gravy or something savory, too.

O.o yeah I vaguely remember “biscuits” with gravy from when I read gone with the wind, lololol. personally I think such a thing is culinary blasphemy but hey I mean enjoy if you like :P

So tea isn't as common in the USA (I'm guessing you know that???) but it's not rare. I've eaten a scone maybe once in my life. So, at least where I'm from (Midwest), they're uncommon enough I had to look up a picture. A 3 star hotel would more likely serve bagels/pancakes/waffles/muffins I think. Also, with coffee/milk/orange juice/water. There might be tea, but it might be iced tea if they have one of those little cafe type buffets.

1. Egg nog can be good based on brand and yes it's made of eggs, heavy cream and spices ( and sometimes booze). 2. Mince can be meat I think but somewhere it also turned into fruit stuff. 3. Depends on how many lights. We just have a tree and it doesn't do anything drastic to our bill. The crazy 1 million lights people though, yeah they pay a lot more.

I am down with the heavy cream, and ordinarily I love eggs, but in a drink? I just... cannot see it happening lol. 

and um how is mince meat turned into fruit stuff? or do you mean replaced with fruit stuff? or mixed? 

and yeah I meant the abundant lights people put up around the house and outside.

1. I have no idea what's in egg nog but it's disgusting, it might be milk?? It has stuff like cloves and cinnamon but it tastes like if you warmed up a milkshake that went horribly wrong 2. I think mince pies are dried fruit in a little pie crust 3. We only turn on our Christmas lights for a couple hours a day so it's not too pricey

... when you say cloves, do you mean garlic cloves? O.o

and I just don’t get why you would call it mince pie if there wasn’t mince in it? altho if it’s meant to be sweet instead of savoury then I am glad it doesn’t have meat lol.

I haven't seen it yet but I've heard nothing good
