The most important question that will ever be asked in 2017:

Do you/would you eat crumpets for breakfast? Or are they more of something you would eat for lunch or afternoon tea?

 

[J4g3r]

Breakfast.

Spoiler

...with Butter and Marmite.

 

[moggio]

For tea.

Spoiler

With butter and Marmite.

 

[Any Questions]

The real question is. Cooked or raw

Spoiler

I do both depending on how much booze i have had, also means breakfast and tea but not lunch

 

[J4g3r]

People eat crumpets that aren't toasted, wtf?

You NEED that crispy exterior.

 

[Fevaweva]

Breakfast.

This guy is a fucking deviant and should be locked away forever. RAW CRUMPETS?

 

[T.v]

Never had them, are they just some kid of thick pancake?

Not quite.

They look like English muffins just by the pictures but I could be wrong.

They're not like English muffins.

[Fevaweva]

They're more like weird savoury cakes in a way.

 

[Newline]

Crumpets should be eaten for breakfast imo.

The thought of having crumpets any later makes me feel slightly queasy.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

What kind of cup do you put the crumpet in?

 

[giga]

Crumpets should be eaten for breakfast.

The thought of having crumpets at night time make me feel slightly queasy.

I had a crumpet for dinner last night.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

What?

 

[Fevaweva]

Crumpets should be eaten for breakfast imo.

They are too stodgy for breakfast though.

What kind of cup do you put the crumpet in?

A crumpet cup ofc, don't you yanks have a Crumpet Cup?

 

[Stilton Disco]

I had them for breakfast this morning, and for tea a few days ago.

They're good whenever.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

A crumpet cup ofc, don't you yanks have a Crumpet Cup?

Hw many kinds of cups do I need to buy to appease you people?

Enough to make us forget that you spell colour color, the weird way you say aluminium and that you clap before and after every meal.

 

[sanstesy]

Crumpets are great any time. I always take a buttload with me when visiting the UK.

 

[buy teh haloz]

Breakfast. Going to have some tomorrow in fact

 

[Maiden Voyage]

And during.

 

[itwasTuesday]

What the shit. Bread isn't raw before you toast it. Unless you eating dough with a spoon. Then proceed. 🍞

 

[moggio]

Great, now I'm in a YouTube clickhole of Americans eating crumpets.

 

[itwasTuesday]

You brought this on yourself.

 

[NomarTyme]

I have a slight Trypophobia, so that bagel freaks me out a little.

 

[moggio]

You brought this on yourself.

Fortunately the hole wasn't quite as deep as Americans try Marmite.

 

[Stevey]

They're Pikelets OP

 

[Steel]

I prefer English Muffins. And I use them to make peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. It works quite well, peanut butter just melts and oozes between them.

They're not like English muffins.

They're English Muffins with only the bottom cooked.

 

[moggio]

They're English Muffins with only the bottom cooked.

They're not.

 

[Masterspeed]

As an English man I say never.

They're terrible. Plus, I don't need that much butter in my life, I'm not mental. Toast will do me fine.

 

[Steel]

They're not.

Both can be made with milk and the same exact ingredients, there's a difference in batter firmness, both can have baking soda in them. The big differences are how they're cooked and whether or not they're split down the middle.

I must admit that I have partaken of an unfinished crumpet in moments of low mood or weakness.

 

[daviyoung]

Crumpets taste like a room full of stale farts.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

For breakfast, of course.
Hot out of the toaster and with lashings of salted butter.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

And a third difference is the taste. English muffins and crumpets don't taste alike. The texture is also completely different.

 

[arigato]

Always with breakfast and accompanied with some peach chutney as well.

 

[30yearsofhurt]

I love a bit of crumpet for supper. Then she can do me some crumpets and marmite for breakfast in the morning. Fnaar fnaar.

 

[BigDes]

Breakfast

LIghtly toasted and then a light spread of salty butter, topped with scrambled eggs served French style and with smoked salmon

FUck yeah

 

[caramac]

Usually a late night snack for me.

 

[Steel]

That's true.

Google to the rescue:

• Crumpets are always made with milk, but English muffins never do. (Though there are a few recipes that beg to differ.)

• Crumpet batter is just that: a loose batter. English muffins are made from a more firm dough. (Sometimes.)

• Crumpets are made only using baking soda, where as English muffins are made with yeast or sourdough (and occasionally a little baking soda to help things along).

• Crumpets are cooked only on one side, so the bottom is flat and toasted while the top is speckled with holes (delicious, butter-absorbing holes...). English muffins are more bread-like and are toasted on both sides. (This one is actually a definite!)

• Crumpets are served whole with the jam and butter are spread right on top. English muffins are split before serving. (Unless you happen to like your crumpets split.)

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Supper.

 

[anotherusername]

Anytime of the day or night, plus if you cover them in nutella and you get an amazing snack!

 

[frankie_baby]

Crumpets are for any time and should always be served with about 2 tonnes of butter

 

[IamDodongo]

I finally saw the light of marmite and butter about six months ago.

 

[Sosokrates]

As far as Im concerned crumpets are good any time.

There so good toasted with butter/marg/vegan butter

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

they look like retarded English muffins

 

[GeekyDad]

Five year-old...

 

[IDKFA]

I eat clean, so personally wouldn't touch them. If I did, I'd eat them wherever the fuck I wanted. To hell with foods that can only be eaten at a certain time of day.
