WIBU to go downstairs and make crumpets with lashings of butter and grated cheese and eat them with joy and regret?

2nd day of taking 8 steroids each morning and I am absolutely wired. And starving and craving all the foods I shouldn't eat (cheese and butter being main culprits).

My 10mo tends to get up before 6am. I don't feel like I will have slept by then.

I do feel very happy though.

raspberry jam on crumpets is also good
(not with cheese)

checkingforballoons · 21/02/2020 07:48

Extra mature cheddar and marmite. I’m not willing to discuss any other options.

Actually drooling! Best part is got shopping delivery yesterday and I have 18 crumpets and unopened lurpak downstairs shouting to me (we have guests coming 😆)

Butter and cheese on crumpets is the best. I’ve actually just had what might be a genius idea. Has anyone cut into the middle of them after toasting and put the cheese in (like a Kiev)? Then buttered as normal?

Sweet Jesus!

If it wasn’t for a cat asleep on me I’d be trying it now. I will when the cat wakes up 🤤🤤🤤

A pub near me does crumpets with toasted goats cheese. So soooooo good

Enchiladas · 21/02/2020 07:58

I knew I could rely on the good people of MN to revel in my crumpet joy with me.

How interesting that some of you have sweet toppings, I would never have thought of such a thing!

I am very excited about the marmite and cheese idea however !! Shock

Best title ever. But I would have butter and raspberry jam on my crumpets. Am drooling now, and don't have crumpets in the house.

Cheese on hot buttered crumpets is the best. Was often Sunday tea when I was a kid.

AlmostAlwyn · 21/02/2020 08:34

Never thought of cheese on crumpets! Will have to give it a go now. Crumpets with butter and golden syrup is my go-to!

No one is going to say no to you in case you unleash the roid rage on us Grin Actually, no one is going to say no to you as crumpets, proper butter and cheese makes everything better, always.

I put lots of black pepper on mine. In fact I might even get out of bed and make some right now. I have some sourdough crumpets at the moment and they are delicious

AlmostAlwyn cheesy crumpets washed down with a mug of tea is the perfect winter lunch

1WayOrAnother · 21/02/2020 18:45

YANBU for wanting/eating crumpets. YABU for making me want them Grin

mrsbyers · 21/02/2020 18:51

I always took my steroids before bed , less side effects that way

KarmaStar · 21/02/2020 18:59

Cheese,peanut butter?😝yuk!saw some cheese and chilli hot cross buns today whilst in town,what the hell?🙈🙉🙊

GlomOfNit · 21/02/2020 19:03

Oddly enough, I just sat down for a bit of MN with my cup of tea and two hot crumpets ... covered with lashings of butter, Bovril and melted cheese. Absolutely heavenly and I don't care that I just can't shake the weight these days.

PhilomenaChristmasPie · 21/02/2020 19:05

YWBU to feel regret.

PhilomenaChristmasPie · 21/02/2020 19:06

Cheese on crumpets is lovely. My aunt texted me that she was having them once and I've never looked back!

moolady1977 · 21/02/2020 19:10

Cheese on crumpets is delicious especially if you put sweet chilli sauce on before the cheese and let it melt

greyspottedgoose · 21/02/2020 19:14

Tesco do sourdough crumpets.... Just saying

justjuggling · 21/02/2020 19:31

Butter, marmite then really strong cheddar. I’m salivating at the thought!

samandpoppysmummy · 21/02/2020 19:50

I'm 51 and have never heard of savoury toppings on crumpets!! I've always had mine with butter and jam. I'm tempted to try a cheesy one now but it feels all wrong 😂

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 21/02/2020 19:54

The only unreasonable thing about this is putting cheese on crumpets tbh

SomethingOnce · 21/02/2020 19:56

YABU for the regret bit. Enjoy Smile

Bunnylady54 · 21/02/2020 20:00

A big yes to crumpets with cheese! I was introduced to them by an ex & couldn’t believe I’d never tried that combination before. So so good!

Well thanks to this thread I ate two crumpets (sourdoughs ones and butter and cheese and black pepper) at 9am this morning after I had posted, and when it popped back up in TIO at 7pm I ate two more Blush

It's all I've eaten today as I'm poorly though so I don't feel too guilty about it. Fuck it Grin
