Crumpets - savoury or sweet?!

[Wherestheteenguide]

Settle an argument between DH and I.
Crumpets are for butter/marmite
English muffins are for jam

Or vice versa?
Aibu - crumpets are sweet
Aibnu - crumpets are savoury

The Marmite person is correct.
All other toppings are wrong.

I'm cheese rather than marmite, but definitely savoury.

salt crystal butter is the best topping. With a wedge of brie on the side.

Either. I have butter or chocolate spread 😋

I like marmite the kids have peanut butter and honey. I think crumpets cross the sweet/ savoury divide and can be used for either.

Pate is also nice on crumpets. With butter underneath, obviously.

Both depending on what you fancy at that moment.

Either sweet or savoury
But savoury for me = cheese not Marmite

Both.

Jam, beans, poached egg, cheese, marmite or just butter.

I love crumpets

Both!
Slivers of strong cheddar and Nutella are both fantastic on crumpets (not together obviously)

Either depending on mood!

I like to boil eggs and dip the crumpets in them.

My fried deep fries crumpets and eats them with curry.

Butter on hot (well done…not flaccid!) crumpets is the only proper way OP 😂

Definitely not marmite - and I like marmite. But it's for toast only.

Crumpets need choc spread, or lemon curd or jam.

Butter on both. Marmite on one. Honey on the other.

A thick layer of cream cheese and then apricot jam. Oh, I love crumpets! So cheap, so underrated.

Most bread is neutral in the sweet/savoury scale.

Add whatever you like best. You are both equally right and wrong.

Deep frying a crumpet sounds interesting.

Just butter, thanks.

Cheese on one, honey on the other.

Crumpets with butter, perhaps jam, but never savoury.
English muffins always savoury, such as bacon, eggs, sausages, Eggs Benedict.

I’m in the anything but butter is wrong camp

I always have savoury and sweet- 2 butter and marmite, 1 jam. Obviously eat the savoury first!
agree with well done- on the grill, if in a toaster takes at least 3 pop ups!

Both. This is stupid. Like asking if toast is sweet or savoury. Love both options. Marmite and butter, or honey and butter. Or chocolate spread, jam, cheese. Separately. All with butter. Butter is important.

Every morning while I am in bed DH brings me a crumpet (though we call them pikelets) with butter and Marmite. Plus coffee. The cat joins me and gets little buttery crumbs and licks the plate afterwards. A good start to the day and I won’t consider LTB just yet.
