Tea & Crumpets!

[AndyFromMonday]

That tea looks a lot like coffee if you ask me.

What is Britains obsession with a far less superior piece of cutlery by using that wooden two pronged... I dont even want to call it a fork cause it just looks like some sadist's show horn.

we have forks with four prongs now. and made of this new fangeled material called metal (may have heard of it, inspired a music genre?).

Besides I cant drink tea. My stomach doesnt handle it well and I end up puking and voiding myself from every conceivable hole by the end of the night. I dont know what it is about it. And I always preferred a Scone to a Crumpet.

of course this is all in jest, except for the last part

You don't really need to state when you're joking in a thread predominately populated by the British. We get the more subtle apsects of humour.

Eh, not everyone picks it up.

Hmm, yes, that is true. Better to be safe than sorry.

I've been warned by the mods a number of time for posts that they thought were offensive, simply because I didn't add a disclaimer at the end.

Never had crumpets, and I don't like tea although I've only ever had one kind...

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Ah crumpets, the sign of a poorly made pancake

I think you came much closer to eddible food with the English Muffin, now those are good!

Oh look, a 'witty' colonial.

Of the variety that thinks pancakes are a breakfast item.

Hilarious.

As I said in the other thread, its up to us in Canada to actually perfect brittish food in order to make it tasty.

And you Britts don't even know how to make a proper pancake, what you call a pancake is just a badly made crêpes. Now the Scotts and the Welsh on the other hand, they know how to make a pancake, although they haven't learned the value of maple syrup.

Why would we try and perfect the crepe? It's French.

For those of you without ready access to pre-made crumpets, the Beeb provides [http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/crumpets_93122], a recipe at the very lest. Those more used to arbitrary volumetric measurement of dry ingredients will have to locate a set of scales from somewhere.

Another excellent topic, sah!

As a matter of interest...where do you stand in that immortal milk/tea first debate? It would disappoint me greatly if your awesome fell at such a crucial hurdle.

 

[DJ_DEnM]

No offense, but why do you keep making these type of topics ._.?

 

[infohippie]

So, British food... Was the idea to balance out the awesomeness of crumpets & tea and fish & chips with the horrible idea of boiling everything else?

 

[BlackStar42]

Hmmm, not such a fan of tea and crumpets. Tea and biscuits though... oh, the deliciousness!

Milk last. I find that pouring the milk first tends to lead to boiled milk, and I'm not a fan of that taste.

Good grief has the whole world gone ubsabe? Do you not find that the milk last approach leaves the tea tasting comparatively STALE?!

Madness, sir, madness!

*shakes head sadly*

I've made the grand total of two threads in this style.

Not exactly up there on the scale of repetitiveness.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Quite the story you've got there. I however can't subjectively comment being as I've never had either one.

USA! USA!

You're missing out, old chap.

*sips tea*

Yes, missing out indeed.

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.
