December 29, 20169 yr Crumpets are lovely if they are toasted properly otherwise they are rubbery. Potato cakes are nice on occasion also but need the same care too.
December 29, 20169 yr Ooh, I say Got some from Greenhalgh's couple of week back; spot on best ever 3 on a barm with brown sauce
December 29, 20169 yr Potato cake with a very runny yolk fried egg. Food of the gods.Got to have some crispy bacon too..perfection!
December 29, 20169 yr Crumpets should be ate all six in one sitting drowning in enough butter to float the navy.With marmite and to go really crazy a bit of grated chilli cheese.
December 30, 20169 yr If warbys are not going to put a fortune into us then I don't care. Crumpets are shit, giant ones are probably worse. Shove it Jonathan u prick
December 30, 20169 yr Any improvement on normal sized ones? Nah mate. Like em curvy but you can keep the 'fart and give us a clue' jobbies.
December 30, 20169 yr My Mrs was proper lucky this year and got a 4 slice toaster that fits Warbies bread. I don't know whether it fits massive crumpets or whether the setttings equal minutes but I thought I'd show off that I'm a proper romantic gift giver.

December 30, 20169 yr "That" ad would have cost an absolute fortune to make with the creative, never mind the massive celeb and image rights fees, in addition to airtime at prime time (It was at least a minute long, if not longer) IMO, then no way would it have produced the necessary ROI. Crumpets are supposed to be small anyway. Edited December 30, 20169 yr by captainmed
December 30, 20169 yr I'm glad you posted this as I thought I was going menk. My toaster (dualit) only has a setting to 3 which burns any bread but the one at work (kenwood) has 5 and 3 is perfect on that. Our 11 year old John Lewis own brand has nine settings and fancy lights that count down and it beeps when done. It would feel insulted if I put a crumpet in it and would probably kick off.

December 30, 20169 yr Potato cakes are the future Aye, potato cake over crumpet any day of the week. The last few I've had have been soggy in the middle - very disappointing - and I can't see a bigger one offering any significant improvement. Either way they have to be literally drowned in best butter Even tried making my own tatty cakes (or Farls?) with left over mash, with mixed results it must be said. Lovely with a fried egg on top though
December 30, 20169 yr Potato cake with a very runny yolk fried egg. Food of the gods. Don't all fried eggs have to be runny by law? If I crack a yolk when frying I get disproportionately upset and it goes in the bin (unless it's my last egg then I have to eat it and I'll sulk all morning) same with boiled eggs but 30 odd years of boiling them and trying to get a perfect dippy egg is still a lottery . . .
December 30, 20169 yr Either way they have to be literally drowned in best butter I don't eat butter so wouldn't know...this talk of "best butter" - do people keep 2 sorts? - normal shitty butter for normal butties, and best stuff for treats like crumpets and bacon butties
December 30, 20169 yr I don't eat butter so wouldn't know...this talk of "best butter" - do people keep 2 sorts? - normal shitty butter for normal butties, and best stuff for treats like crumpets and bacon butties ha ha! I have one type of butter in the house and it's always decent fat. I'm with you, never got why folk say best but thought it apt usage for this thread No butter? May I ask why?

I find poached eggs easier to make and healthier than a fried too. It countereacts the butter.
December 30, 20169 yr No butter? May I ask why? No butter or marge either - never had them, my Mum didn't have them, so by default I didn't when growing up.
December 30, 20169 yr Don't all fried eggs have to be runny by law? Not when their planned destination is in a barm.
December 30, 20169 yr No butter or marge either - never had them, my Mum didn't have them, so by default I didn't when growing up. I had a milk intolerance as a child so couldn't have it without being rather ill. Now I'm all grown up I like it on the odd occasion even though it was a made up disease anyway
