Normally when I think of scones, I salivate like Pavlov's dog in anticipation of a delectably sweet treat with a fragrant cup of jasmine green tea. Scones don't take too long to make, and much like pizza, I see them as something of a culinary chameleon. Whether you're a traditionalist going for specific add-ins or you feel more creative, you simply can't go wrong. I've featured some of my favorite combinations in the past, but even incorporating novel sugary ingredients can become a bit wearying. I've never been one for routine and "the same old thing," so when I saw this recipe from The Novice Chef, I started thinking about savory flavor combos. The idea of incorporating ingredients off the beaten track immediately jumped out at me, which is why I'm only too happy to share it with you. And of course, I haven't found a dish where bacon isn't welcome!

What's your scone preference - savory or sweet?
