He didn't even use butter.

Don't worry, I've already called the police.

In your opinion, what does belong on a crumpet?

Butter and cheese or butter and honey

RafaistheKingofClay · 14/04/2023 07:27

Butter and marmite. Or butter. The important thing is lots of butter and then some more to be safe.

Butter
Butter and Jam
Butter and Marmite
Butter and Marmite with cheese
Butter, Bacon and Cheese, grilled with sauce of your choice! (Brown for me)

I’m so glad I have crumpets in the house. Off to make some

I can't be doing with sweet toppings on crumpets. I just need a well done crumpet with half a packet of butter on it 🤣.

I don't get adding both butter and jam together. To me that's like adding butter then peanut butter.... just weird!

Butter and jam or marmite

See if u can get the extra large crumpets and then put a couple of fried eggs between to make a fried egg crumpet sandwich

It's truly beautiful

What a weirdo! I would be worried about what other 'abnormal' things he gets up to while you are not around!

Butter and Marmite is obviously the best crumpet topping.

Butter and cheese, then grill the cheese

I have only ever put butter and jam on a crumpet. I buy them every now and then in the hope that I will suddenly like them, but I hate them. Maybe the butter and jam is where I'm going wrong and I should try cheese or egg or whatever.

Right, sticking them on my shopping list in a last ditch attempt to like the bastards.

DD had a baked Camembert in a pub/restaurant place yesterday and it came with a crumpet for dipping Shock
Only butter or butter / jam needs to go on a crumpet!

Butter and marmite

Not sure if its been mentioned, but crumpets are perfect as soldiers for runny boiled eggs, the yolk gets in all the holes 👌

Depends which kind.
English crumpet (served warm) - butter only
Scottish crumpet (with raisins, served cold) - butter and jam

Butter mixed with sugar and ground cinnamon.

The Ivy used to do this glorious mustardy, Marmitey butter with their crumpets. It was bloody lovely. They changed the menu a couple of years ago and stopped doing it though. I enquired but apparently no one bought it so it came off the menu.

Otherwise, I am a fan of the PB&J crumpet: butter, peanut butter, than a little bit of marmalade, jam or honey.

Deedee75 · 14/04/2023 15:20

Pretty much anything you'd put on toast - in our house it could be butter, peanut butter, jam, cheese (which my H thinks is weird), honey or chocolate spread.

Moonshine60 · 14/04/2023 15:48

Butter and cheese (melted under the grill).

JimmyDurham · 14/04/2023 16:02

Fried Egg!

user1471517095 · 14/04/2023 16:12

The other day I thought my Husband had put a slice of Cheese on his Crumpet. Turned out it was a slice of Butter.

Crabwoman · 14/04/2023 16:13

Ton of salted butter and honey

BrieAndChilli · 14/04/2023 16:20

No matter what lots of butter!

then jam or marmalade or honey or marmite or sometimes a mix of beaten egg and shredded cheese then grilled

Irridescantshimmmer · 14/04/2023 16:32

Cheese and mustard with ham.

Jam or honey sounds good.

Peanut butter and jam

I boycott butter😁
