He didn't even use butter.

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

In your opinion, what does belong on a crumpet?

I'm afraid to say my ds does this...what have I raised 🙈

BingleBongleBoo · 14/04/2023 17:38

Butter, Marmite, and a poached egg

WhatTheHeckyPeck · 14/04/2023 17:57

Marmite or jam, no butter. I can't abide melted butter, so won't put it on anything that will result in a "butter puddle". <shudder>

C152 · 14/04/2023 18:32

Jam. Maybe jam and cream if you're craving a scone!

Blingismything · 14/04/2023 19:13

Extremely well toasted with butter and plum jam.

IMO nothing except butter belongs on a crumpet.

Was devo'd once at my Mum's house when she asked me if I wanted one and then put ginger marmalade on it 🤢

Hubby is a heathen!!
Cheese and onion (in the premixed tubs) with a shit tonne of lurpack butter was my late mum's favourite. I can't eat it any more since she passed away last year, can't smell Angel perfume without bloody crying either 😞

SirChenjins · 14/04/2023 20:40

Nutella - the deliciousness of the creamy melty chocolate cannot be underestimated

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 14/04/2023 20:41

Butter and jam or butter and honey.
Maybe butter and Nutella sometimes!

SirChenjins · 14/04/2023 20:41

Or understated. Either way it’s bloody lovely

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 14/04/2023 20:41

Yes @SirChenjins !

ExtremelyDetermined · 14/04/2023 20:52

Butter, cheese, marmite or combinations of these. Nothing sweet, ever.

I'm sorry for your loss, Rebel. I hope in time these things will remind you of happy times rather than trigger your tears. Flowers

That's so kind of you. Thank you ❤️

You're husband is an animal.

BinkyBeaufort · 14/04/2023 21:53

Butter, Philadelphia cream cheese, strawberry jam.
That's it. No alternatives.

ginislife · 14/04/2023 22:08

Butter, Philadelphia and jam - together.
Butter & marmite
Cheese & beans.

@Talipesmum Where do you get pistachio creme?

I like a fried crumpet with a fried egg, so the runny yolk can soak into the holes.

I'm okay with things on crumpets, but just butter is best.

From a Sicilian deli usually, but when they don’t have it, from Amazon eg this one

Pisti Sicilian Pistachio Cream Spread Bread Baking Spreadable Paste Jar 600g https://amzn.eu/d/iDFU6Ue

Or Sweet Pistachio Nut Cream Spread | 40 % Pistachios | 2 x 190 g | Brontedolci | Italy https://amzn.eu/d/iXepMvK

It’s v nice. Also good in yoghurt, on toast, or blended into iced coffee. And cos it’s a creepy green colour you can dissuade the kids from eating it for a while (till they figure out it tastes like a delicious white chocolate pistachio Nutella…)

Thank you!

SpicyMoth · 14/04/2023 23:00

Butter and marmite, ofc <3

Sirzy · 14/04/2023 23:01

Butter and only butter

I have a strange aversion to sweet stuff on savoury things like crumpets

Emmamoo89 · 14/04/2023 23:02

Butter, marmite and Nutella.

Jam does sound nice tho 😋

MyMachineAndMe · 14/04/2023 23:05

Eggy crumpets are nice. You could also use crumpet soldiers instead of toast in a soft boiled egg.

Dh puts beans and cheese on them.

Imisssleep2 · 15/04/2023 08:01

I personally like just butter and lots of it, my son likes cream cheese (and butter) on his and my husband like butter and plastic/burger cheese on his, random i know.

TheKobayashiMaru · 15/04/2023 08:05

I can't believe how many people put sweet things on crumpets 🤯 In my mind they are savoury
