Tea & Crumpets!

[Daystar Clarion]

Being a colonial savage, I love my crumpets with margarine and marmite or vegemite, I'm not fussy. That is bliss on a cold morning.

No butter?

Bloody savages.

I know right. Next thing you know, we will be using human blood.

Every time I look at one of our coins and see the Queen, I swear I can see the disappointment in her eyes.

She wants you to succeed.

So very much. She cries everyday.

True Story.

Yes indeed.

The other day I received a letter from her entitled, "An Ode to the Antipodean Savage".

It was remarkably moving.

[sub][sub]Though I'm more of a coffee person.[/sub][/sub]

[sub][sub][sub]Honestly, so am I. Has to be out of a cafetiere or percolator... yes, how pretentious am I?![/sub][/sub][/sub]

We lesser folk have to deal with granulated and/ or instant coffee. I bet you don't even put the milk in first.

;P

[sub][sub]Though this could be entirely because I find the taste of cafetiere coffee way too different than the stuff I grew up with to really get into it properly.[/sub][/sub]

[sub][sub]My eyes are hurting from all the squinting at the screen.[/sub][/sub]

OT: Tea and crumpets are delish, although I do rather prefer the traditional english jaffa, at any time other than breakfast. Lots of hot tea dunking action. Phwoaaar.

Omnom cumprets.

Just one dilema I pose to you..

Does the milk go in the tea, first or last? =P

Edit: Damn, ninja'd D=

 

[Blunderboy]

Well thank you OP, now I really want crumpets and I can't have any because I'm at work. I shall just have to double my tea intake.

I really don't enjoy crumpets, even if you toast them into oblivion they're still like eating a bath sponge. I mean, I can see how people could like them, but I find them pretty tasteless compared to the humble scone, cheerful scotch-pancake, or epic waffle.

Toasted waffle with some butter and honey, that's the snack of kings right there. Served with some strong black coffee and a look of jealousy from all my co-workers.

And I don't eat fish and chips very often, I live beside the sea, and I can't get a decent bit of cod, it's all bleached and boney and not the big chunky white flakes of cod that we all love. These days you barely taste the fish, if we could have those old style seaside fish suppers, drowning in salt and vineger, crispy batter... now I'd be right on board with that.

Seriously, I think you'd hit the mark more if you stopped with the British tea and crumpet (which only applies to England really, Scotland is a scone nation for instance) - maybe the great British Lamb Bhuna... nan bread, spiced onions... hmmmm.

 

[That's Funny]

All kneel before the mighty Tea & Crumpets, and the British Food god.

 

[CannibalCorpses]

I'm a coffee and toast kinda guy...patriotic to a fault

Again? Second time in 2 nights that your threads have made me starving just before I go to bed, damn you sir.

This is your punishment.

For failing to have the necessary food items at hand.

I have the necessary food, but I am losing weight, and a butter saturated crumpet doesn't lend itself to that.

As the great Ice T said:

"Ain't gonna be no crumpets and tea!"

 

[thylasos]

Two crumpets, with a slab of butter on one, and a huge splodge of jam on the other. Cup of Yorkshire Tea.

YES. That's breakfast.

 

[The Diabolical Biz]

Guess what I'm eating as I post this? What would life be like without my blend of English Breakfast, Earl Grey, and Lapsang Suchong...

Also, weirdly, I was listening to 'Cup of Brown Joy' as I came onto the Escapist today...

 

[Use_Imagination_here]

Fuck tea. It tastes like hot water with butter in it.

Crumpets I love.
