Three Crumpets

[LadyMacB]

AIBU or is there an unwritten rule that you eat crumpets in pairs? DH occasionally has a single crumpet. They come in sixes, so that often leaves a random spare crumpet that can’t be paired up. He says it’s normal.

There's a law. Two, no more no less.

Wrong, as evidenced by the fact Marks and Spencer sell both pikelets and crumpets.

Toast
Crumpets
Biscuits

All should only be eaten in multiples of two. It's the law.

It's a poxy crumpet.

Who cares?

If I buy a pack of 6, DS eats 2 at a time.
If I buy a pack of 9, he eats 3.

I miss crumpets. Fucking diabetes.

I have one and a half weetabix for breakfast.

Do you think if you bought a single crumpet, he'd only eat a third of it?

never tempted to cut loose and live a little? Go on you know you want to….

Where do people stand on Giant Crumpets?

I bought some out of curiosity but when it was sitting on the plate, it felt soulless, like something answering a question no-one asked.

Tempted to try!

I only ever eat one. Otherwise I would be even fatter than I am now 😁

They are unwanted and thus unloved 😭

Those sad single crumpets...mix up a bowl of beaten egg & milk as for eggy bread....put the lone crumpet in the bowl and leave to soak up the eggy goodness....then fry it gently till golden. Not only is it delicious, but also you've rescued an abandoned crumpet.

Crumpets and pikelets are two completely different things.

What’s wrong with only one paracetamol?

Anything fewer than three at a sitting is a disgrace!

There's a lady at work who only ever has half of anything.
…

So then there's half a digestive left in the tin, what is wrong with these people???

How does she even divide them in 2? You can’t use a knife and they don’t break evenly.

She touches whatever it is with her hands and then puts the other half back no doubt. That's why these people should be shot. She should keep the other half on her desk for later.

It's like those disgusting fucking people that start touching up and cutting doughnuts or cake in half and leave the touched half for someone else. On what planet do they think someone else will want that?

That must be annoying, but I think it’s relatively minor compared to the issue of (otherwise civilised) friends who will offer a crumpet and then ONLY toast it for as long as you would a slice of toast. So it smells yeasty and is only 30% as nice as it should be. This stuff is serious.

But they don’t break evenly by hand.

I'm sure she doesn't get a ruler and weighing scales out either, just snaps it in half

Yes, it's so annoying as I'm the one who always ends up with 1 crumpet after DH has 2, DS has 3.

And, don't get me started on Weetabix etiquette....

Warbies say crumpets so that's good enough for me!

Been eating warbies crumpets for many years, long before they became so nationwide. I like to toast them under the grill, the toaster doesn't seem to work.

Have you tried to teach your ds to consider others, and not take more than a fair amount?

No, he has 2 sometimes and 1 other times, not 3 together, heck that would never work with the Toaster! DH is a 2 at a time kinda guy so DS is the guilty party.

Crumpets are a fastest finger first snack in the general free for all cupboard (hence, not my posh chocolate and equally posh fresh orange area in the fridge that is off limits). Two left is fine, none left is fine but one left does my head in.

I raged with anger when I bought a pack of 9 crumpets when my stepson was staying with us, I envisaged 2 each for ss, dh and me, and 3 left over, but no, dh and ss had 4 each and left me 1! Utter bastards!
