To choose Philadelphia as my crumpet topping?!

[Bobian123]

DH was feeling peckish last night so I said "we've got some crumpets - why don't you have a couple with some Philadelphia? I had that earlier." He was outraged about my choice of crumpet topping and said that crumpets are eaten with golden syrup or something similar. I've never had a crumpet with golden syrup.

AIBU? Is cream cheese on a crumpet really weird? What do you have on yours?!

PS. I just changed the subject line - the original read "AIBU to put cream cheese on my crumpet". Thought that sounded very very wrong and second reading...

Philly - yes. I like hummus on mine too.

toast til done, then put garlic butter on, then a slice of cheese and put under the grill til the cheese bubbles,.. not healthy but very tasty

I love cheese spread on crumpets or butter or cheese. Strictly nothing sweet!

Never to be eaten sweet but I can only have butter. DH hates butter so he has cream cheese or marmite but I think he's gross.

YAB totally U! There is only one topping suitable for a crumpet and that is butter. Thickly spread so that it oozes through the holes.

Philadelphia on crumpets is lovely. A nice thick slice of melted mozzarella is even better!!!

I do agree with oodles of butter as well. Earlier I had one with Philly and another with butter only. For variety and all that.

While we're on the subject of crumpets, I realise that I really like the word crumpet as well as crumpets themselves. Crumpet crumpet crumpet.

While we are on crumpets. The kingsmill ones are far too stodgy. Warburtons are the best.

Crumpets and Dairylea!

Butter and jam is the classic.

As an occasional retro treat I like a crumpet "pizza" like my mum used to make: crumpet with a smear of tomato purée (nothing posh or remotely Italian here, thanks) and sliced cheddar, grilled until the cheese is bubbling. Yum!

Toast crumpet, insert one of the following into crumpet holes: m&ms, chocolate chips, peanut butter nibs (if you can get them) or pieces of white chocolate buttons. melt in microwave for 15 seconds. Serve.

I was going to start a crumpet thread today because my DH bought 18 Kingsmill crumpets. They are completely inedible

As for you lot.... JAM? MARMITE? EGGS?

It's enough to make me want to flounce i tell ya. It's butter or else!!!

McLelland's Seriously Strong Cheese Spread.

Chocolate crumpets???!! Oh fgs!!

Sweet crumpets are weird. IMO they're designed to be savoury... I can't believe some people put nutella, jam, peanut butter or worse still, GOLDEN SYRUP on them. It's butter (well, dairy free spread for me) or nuttin. Philadelphia or boursin does sound nice too... . So yanbu, your DH is positively outrageous.

I'm assuming that you lot are talking about what are correctly called pikelets as they're the things with the holes (that should only be filled with lots and lots of melted butter drool, drool?)

Crumpets are smooth and can be topped with anything - but pikelets are an essential addition to a plate of melted butter....

I love them with baked beans and grated cheese on top.

I really fancy jam on crumpets now. Sadly I have no crumpets or jam in the house.

Philadelphia, jam, marmite? CHOCOLATE?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Has anyone tried sourdough crumpets? I'm too scared to buy them again in case the word 'crumpet' appears on my death certificate.

Just to be clear...not one person yet has agreed with DH's choice of golden syrup? This is an excellent "in your face."

Cheddar cheese and marmite.

BikketBikketBikket Pikelets are thin and flat and crumpets, that we are all talkng about, are about an inch thick with holes.

Unless you are that strange family that grew up in Canada that I was friends with when I was a child who called everything by a different name to most other people.

Peanut butter
Boursin
Philadelphia
Nutella
Damson Jam
I'm an equal opportunities crumpet muncher

Butter. Or a slice of strong cheddar and grilled.

Not sweet stuff - that's Wrong.

But I'd really like a muffin right now...
