To hide the crumpets?

The shopping just arrived, I feel I should hide the warburtons crumpets. The other night DH ate last two - but used light salad cream on them instead of butter (well, buttery spread in this house)!!
It's just wrong, such a waste of a good crumpet. I still haven't got over him putting tomato purée on them for the kids and now that's the only way they'll eat them. Whatever happened to just enjoying your crumpet with a bit of butter on?

SALAD CREAM?

LTB.

Dawndonnaagain · 14/07/2015 15:46

Butter and melted cheese.
Never 'butter like spread'!

LikeTheShoes · 14/07/2015 17:01

Butter only.

but if you have to have other things, you could make eggy bread with them. Delicious, but not quite as good as proper buttered crumpets.

Lemon and lime marmalade also good. I have some lemon curd to try next on my crumpets Smile

GrumpyOldBiddy2 · 14/07/2015 17:08

Proper butter and strawberry jam.

That is all.

SuzanneCrazyEyes · 14/07/2015 17:12

Peanut butter for me

SchwarzwalderKirschtorte · 14/07/2015 17:56

Real butter, a slice of cheese and crumpets? what crumpets?

RatOnnaStick · 14/07/2015 18:01

Uurrrr Rubbery fuckers.

You can hide them from me.

SpringBreaker · 14/07/2015 18:04

Pesto and cheese :)

Andrewofgg · 14/07/2015 18:06

I would suggest you tell him where to put his crumpets with their salad cream but he might do it . . .

Not that you are much better, OP, and you know it - butter and nothing but, please.

Bovril? It is made of rancid used axle grease to which a secret ingredient is added to make it seriously nasty. Contraryish is there a branch of Bovrillers Anonymous anywhere hear you?

No salt butter and chunky bitter marmalade. It's the law.

SteveBrucesNose · 14/07/2015 18:11

YANBU. I live in a stupid fucking country that only imports sunblest crumpets. I'm not sure DH even knows they exist because I hide them so well

However, I just state that Philly is by far the most superior topping, closely followed by lashings of actual proper butter

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 14/07/2015 18:15

Funny thread.

I like just butter, not faux-butter (Really, OP!!), just plain salty butter and whisked out of the toaster and buttered quickly so they can never be rubbery fuckers (RatOnnaGrin) by the time I eat them.

winterinmadeira · 14/07/2015 18:22

Defo hide them. However yabu because they do need butter and then when it's melted, more butter on top....mmmm.

Alibabsandthe40Musketeers · 14/07/2015 18:25

DH puts cheese on top of his, sometimes with marmalade. This is WRONG.

Salted Lurpak on Warburtons is the only way to eat a crumpet.

dodobookends · 14/07/2015 18:25

Rat - you've never had a properly cooked crumpet! They aren't rubbery if you grill 'em for long enough - then they're lovely and crispy.

MaidOfStars · 14/07/2015 18:32

A rubbery crumpet is an undercooked crumpet.

I am a cheese topper.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 14/07/2015 18:33

Toasted crumpets, butter, marmite and poached duck eggs - lunch of the Gods!

Salad cream? Tomato purée? Kill him with fire.

TheTravellingLemon · 14/07/2015 18:35

Some of you people don't deserve crumpets. Pass them over here.

MonstrousRatbag · 14/07/2015 18:39

M&S crumpets are very good though.
President salted butter is the only way to go.

SideOrderofChips · 14/07/2015 18:41

butter and cheese!!

debbietheduck · 14/07/2015 18:43

Can't believe no one has mentioned butter and honey.

And yes, it must be proper butter. Shame on you.

RatOnnaStick · 14/07/2015 18:49

Even properly cooked (for DS1 and DH) they have the most unpleasant texture on my tongue I have ever experienced. I maintain they are narsty.

Marylou2 · 14/07/2015 18:52

Crumpets and Nutella! Yum! Or, on a more serious note, Crumpets and Sainsbury's Hazelnut and Chocolate Spread made with sustainably sourced palm oil. Apparently Nutella are Monkey Murderers according to DD.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 14/07/2015 18:54

Ohhhh yes, debbie - butter and honey, dripping stickiness with every bite.
