ex pat in the deep south: I have had both.

They are similar but different enough you cannot interchangeably use them.

"ok what's it like then"

eating a slightly different bread product

"different how"

in flavour and texture

I had biscuits and gravy on my last trip to the States. Scones are very different. Much fluffier. Mostly the scones I've had have fruit in them too.

Edit: our gravy is nothing like the one I got served either

biscuits are hard and snappable, what's pictured is an english muffin.

i agree that this isn't a scone though, scones are.. doughier? like, an english muffin has the elasticity of bread, while scones are way denser and not elastic.
