[Technology] Crumpets

[The Clamp]

How’s your cholesterol?

80 LDL. Yours?

 

[Bansko Seagull]

Lashings of butter. Morrisons are selling Christmas tree shaped crumpets - amazing.

 

[Chicken Run]

80 LDL. Yours?

4.2 mmol/L as of last Tuesday.

Keep eating the buttery crumpets then.

Shave a chunk of Lincolnshire poacher as finely as my mandolin will do it

Why do I imagine this being said in a General Melchett voice ?

Because you missed the joke that a guitar-like instrument isn’t very good at slicing cheese?

 

[jackanada]

Butter, Marmite, Cheddar on top.

Hope you're sticking that puppy under the grill.

 

[Insel affe]

Hadn’t had them for a while but got some tonight. Is there much better with a brew?

Now I like mine simple. Just shy of burnt and absolutely pissing in butter.

Simple question: What do you have on your crumpets?

Night shift, bored.

Absolutely love crumpets...

Either with butter, mayo then melted cheese with chilli flakes & garlic salt sprinkled over the top.
or
American Peanut Butter like skippy.

Perfect hangover food, midnight feast, Sunday afternoon watching the FA cup round 2 when it is pissing down outside

Butter and Marmite. Lashings of both.

I went through a spell a few years back of making my own crumpets. Not the little things you buy in supermarkets... but absolutely huge ones in a 12" pan or similar. Served up with fried eggs and beans on top.

 

[Marshy]

Butter or marmite for savoury

Honey for sweet.

My cholesterol is in the healthy “green” zone, a little bit of butter is okay for you and I have eaten 2 crumpets in 18 months. I am fit and healthy and eat a mainly pescatarian and Mediterranean diet with no sweets or desserts. I think I’ll be just fine.

Soft cheese

 

[Boroseagull]

All the Marmite lovers on here! Just has to be Bovril on mine.

 

[Shopes]

Usually I'll have two - one with butter, Marmite and cheese and one with butter and jam. I'll obviously eat the savoury one first, as I'm not an animal.

I recently tried a Jamie Oliver recipe, which was essentially eggy bread but made with crumpets, it was fine but not as good as my usual combination.

I’m keeping everything crossed for you young man.

Bl**dy insult! Brighton born and bred!

 

[crodonilson]

I enjoy mine with some beef paste on.

Is there veggie Bovril yet?

I may be able to trump you all. The other day I was introduced to......toasted malt loaf.

What a game changer, although a pig to dig back out of the toaster, the resulting slightly gooey softness when mixed with the lashings of butter is just incredible and the bit that sticks to your teeth is a gift that keeps giving.

No confusion over cheese or Marmite or such deliberations, just simple butter every time.

I cant believe I have been eating cold malt loaf for 40 years.
