Best scones and rasher sandwich along our route?

Wrong country for scones. Best place for scones is Penzance in Cornwall, England.

In Ireland it's a bacon buttie not a rasher sandwich. Any chippie near a taxi rank will have great bacon butties.

Sorry AussieNomad you've got your terminology mixed up there, it's very much a rasher sandwich in Ireland and a bacon buttie in England. Unfortunately can't think of anywhere particularly noted for selling them though, usually make my own at home :)

We had phenomenal scones in Derry, was hoping maybe they spilled into the Republic somewhere along our travels.
FFS, if you live along the route and make a mean rasher, maybe I could stop by. :)

Look out for soda bread instead. (It is a very similar recipe to scones being made with bicarbonate of soda as a raising agent rather than yeast and butter milk to mix.) It is available in all bakers and supermarkets. The fruit variety is particularly good!

Removed original comment; Nigel ( thank you) solved the 'mystery'; I will use a nasty cold and clogged sinuses for my not seeing the obvious.

questioning the meaning of FFS - look back 3 posts, 2nd post in this thread

Not really a novelty in USA, just was never a fan until I had this one in Derry. It was awesome. The shop that served it is just inside Bishops Gate on the left, Java I think, if ever there.

The best scones we had were at a petrol station for a euro each. They looked and tasted like someone made them at home and brought them in to sell.
I can't remember where, but whenever you stop for gas, take a peek.
