Why don't crumpets come in an 8 pack?

[GreenHairDontCare]

Six is just daft. Four crumpets is a sensible serving. But then you're left with two stragglers.

Is it a ploy to make us buy two packs? I think it's well shifty.

Aibu?

Perhaps for the same reason that burgers come in packs of 4 but buns in packs of 6.

This reminds me of the scene in Father of the Bride where he is removing "superfluous buns" to go with his hot dogs.

They need to be toasted to a nice puk-like crispiness then soaked in Lurpak. I do feel a complete twat for sticking rigidly to just two all this time.

I love crumpets but I couldnt eat more than 2 for my lunch! And I am now desperate for a crumpet but I am low carbing :(

I prefer the Waitrose essential ones, I find the Warbies ones a bit salty but my local hasn't had them in for months now. I hope they've not been discontinued. They seemed to sell well.

I thought they come in packs of 9, I must be confused. 2 is a serving in our house and occasionally go back for an extra one.

Supersmith That looks like someone has robbed half of your crumpet!

I whack the toaster up to 11 and do it that way

But the dial on a toaster is the number of minutes, not a temperature gauge, surely?

My toaster only goes up to 4

I think that was a Spinal Tap reference

Okay, I have a question for you all.

How many English muffins would you class as a breakfast serving?

I ask because I'd like the option to have two muffins, i.e. four halves. Might only eat one if I wasn't very hungry, but two is ideal for a 'proper' breakfast.

I was recently staying at a friend's house, and 'my' second muffin was given away because 'we only need one each'. Couldn't tell if my friend was being unreasonable or if I'm just a greedy guts.

One muffin- depending on what you have on or in it. If an egg and ham, or like an eggs benedict, def two halves.

If just plain, I guess I'd eat four halves...but a plain muffin is a bit pointless! They're for eggs Benedict really or as a mcmuffin

Depends what's on the muffins. If eggs benedict / royale / florentine then one muffin, two halves. If butter only, I'd probably want three halves, maybe four.

If it's just Muffins I would say two...If it's accompanied by bacon, eggs etc then one

I'm talking muffins with only just butter, as an alternative to toast.

I think that was a Spinal Tap reference

Yes, I assumed as much but it doesn't make much sense unless you're actually altering the toaster... does it? Why would you have to "whack it" up to anything?

Well, I posted rubbish saying that Asda do 8-it's 9!

So, where has the extra one been going??

It should have been mine for bringing them back!!

Because they're an abomination and it's less wasteful when you put them in the

I hate crumpets.

*in the bin

Jeez forgot half my sentence haha

I would have 2 halves of a muffin.

1 slice toast = 1 crumpet = 1 half of a bagel = 1 half of a muffin

I can eat six for dinner in the evening

I'd just make 10 a bit hotter rather than whacking it up to 11.

Why why did I click on this thread? I LOVE hot buttered crumpets normally the whole pack myself.

I want crumpets!

Tesco sell crumpets in packs of 8. I would never eat 4 crumpets in one serving. 2 is plenty in fact my DH and adult DD3 would only eat 3

I wish I could get pikelets somewhere other than Tesco. They're far superior.

My Warburton's crumpets come in a pack of 9.

I have a Tesco pack of 8 in the cupboard!
