But what about biscuits and scones? Count or not?
Can't they just be their own thing? Do all baked goods have to fall into either the bread or cake categories? That seems limiting to me.
It's all about the coat.

In my own personal recipe book, Jessica, there are two categories: salty and sweet.
So what do I know? Not much, clearly.

But you've left out two of the four major food groups -- crunchy and chocolate!
I think biscuits should be salty and served with butter, and scones should be sweet and served with clotted cream. And neither is quite bread or cake.

chocolate is under the Sweet category. And crunchy, most often, is salty, but can be sweet, depending.
So, see, biscuits would be in salty and scones would be in sweet.

I read where Heath Ledger said making out with Jake Gyllenhal wasn't that much fun.
Maybe for HIM. But I'M certainly going to enjoy it.
Amen. He still owes me for that crappy The Order movie, and I can't think of a better way for him to repay the debt than by slipping some tongue to Jake Gyllenhaal.

I categorize my food just like that. The Salt and Sweet Divide.
And salt and sweet shouldn't mix, with a very few exceptions, and I've only come to those in the last couple of years. And can't think of a single one right now.

I generally think nothing should be in the sweet category, and that things unavoidably in that category should endeavor to be as savory as possible anyway to serve my oddball anti-sugar tastes.
So chocolate? No sweeter than is absolutely necessary for out of hand eating, and even less so for cooking with.

What about trail mix? There's nothing like an M&M with salt on it. Mmmmm.

I have learned over the years that some things I'd thought of only in the sweet category can actually work both sides of the divide. Like, cinnamon/lamb. Yum. Fortunatley, I learned that one a while ago.
