Settle the worlds most stupid argument!

Are crumpets sweet or savoury?

can’t work out how to change the poll wording so-

YABU= sweet
YANBU= savoury

Savoury, they are in the same category as toast for me.

100% depends on topping.

The crumpets themselves are.neutral.

Have with bacon and cheese? Savoury
Have with maple syrup? Sweet
Just boring butter? Savoury
Jam? Sweet

So on and so forth.

I thought they were like pancakes, they're just a delivery system for whatever you're putting on them. If you put spread/marmite on them they're savoury, if you put jam on them they're sweet.

Can be both, surely?! I can’t pick a side and betray either 😂

As a standalone I'd say savoury, but if you add a topping such as jam after you've toasted them, then they become more sweet. Savoury for me though.

Definitely neither!

It depends on what topping you choose. Neutral in the same way that toast is neutral.

Personal favourite is peanut butter and marmite, yum.

Absolutely savoury. You can make them sweet by adding sweet toppings, but the crumpet itself is a savoury item. Just like bread is savoury until you slather it in nutella.

Another vote for can be either - depends on the topping

I voted YABU because they're both wrong options. Crumpets are just crumpets. 🤷‍♀️

American here, so my vote may only count as a half-vote since we don't have 'crumpets' here. But Google tells me they are a bit of a cross between an English Muffin and a pancake here. So in that case.....they could be both. A neutral vessel on which to put butter and jam, or egg and bacon. My vote is both!

Savoury.
Well done with butter on.

They are rubber butter sponges. They can be made sweet by putting jam on them, or savoury by putting melted cheese on top, or by placing them either side of a steak, a pork pie, a halibut or similar. Argument solved I trust.

Or that Biscoff spread which ought to be disgusting by rights and yet I find myself eating it out of the jar at 3am...

Totally topping dependant.

With beans and cheese - savoury
with butter and jam - sweet

I have never tried a crumpet but I thought they were savoury.

I think crumpets, in and of themselves, are savoury. Like bread. Or plain popcorn.

They are a delicious savoury vehicle for sweet or savoury toppings, such as honey on one and butter and marmite on the other, like I had for breakfast.

Savoury

Can be both depending on toppings or flavours - sane as crepes

The crumpet itself is 100% savoury.
Obviously the topping added makes it a sweet or savoury snack.

Savoury

Both!! I love them with
Butter always
Marmite ... with butter

Syrup ... also with butter
Yummy!! 😋

Savoury, unless you put jam or honey on them.

Neither. The topping decides whether the whole is sweet or savoury.

Same as bread.

Second thoughts, use the dictionary if you want to win an argument

Defined as unsweetened,therefore savory is the correct answer according to Merriam-Webster

Naked until topping
