You, sir, are a paragon of English heroism and honour on the Escapist! I bow to your infinite magnitude!

...

HOWEVER! What the hell happened to scones?!

Okay, what's with all the British threads recently? Have I missed anything?

The good Daystar, Duke of Clarion is initiating the grand scheme of UK escapists to take over the world by flooding teh interwebs with Englishness!

OT: I fucking love crumpets. The more the better.

*smacks lips* as do I!

An potato cakes! Lathered in half a tub of butter.

Those I'm not too keen on, tho... always seemed of weird texture. I'll stick to my crumpets and scones, thankee.

Scones lost the Great Food War of '88 to the mighty crumpets.

True Story.

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]

All this talk of coffee is starting to sound like blasphemy to me.


That's not very good now, is it?

No Glorious Leader. Of course not, Glorious Leader.

I have no idea what crumpets are, but if they go well with tea, I want one

Well.. scones are of Scottish origin... (I leave that thought as it is!) =P

I just find it much smoother, and I'm used to it now. *shrug* Though it is a pain in the wallet, that's for sure...

... Oh shit! *grabs Catchy* *falls to hands and knees*

WE REPENT!!

 

[I-Protest-I]

Convinced me to have a brew and some crumpets at any rate, thank you

Yes, well.

Don't let it happen again. It's hard to come by good minions these days.

The only logical conclusion is that you're French.

I'm sorry to break this news to you. You have my deepest heartfelt sympathies.

Sir, that's a very harsh insult! Such things should never be said to an Englishman, no matter what they have done or how low they have sunk, they just don't deserve that! Dissapointing.

If it's any consolation, every now and then I drink tea even though I know it will make me feel sick, and do I finish it even while i'm gagging? You bet I bloody do!

 

[rabidmidget]

Man I'm really craving a crumpet now, all warm, buttery and soaked with honey...

EDIT: You should explain to the more barbaric countries just how delicious kippers are.

 

[AngryMongoose]

Didn't like crumpets 'til I realised you could cook 'em in a toaster and put Marmite on 'em. The Marmite and melted butter melt through the entire thing, and you end up with a kind of dip congealing on your plate.

While more often a coffee drinker for Breakfast, I do agree tea is necessary to wash down a crumpet soaked in marmitey butter.

PS This isn't going to be, like, a thing is it? I hate it when people do a standardised series of posts.

PPS You checked the TvTropes pages on British stuff? Some of them feel a little academic, they could use your support.

PPPS Also, I don't think you quite have the authority to claim absolute knowledge of Britishy things; I mean, you failed to bring up the subject of Curry Sauce in your post on Fish 'n' Chips

PPPPPS (The extra P is for "Pointless") The gaps between Fish And And And And And Chips vary in size.

It's that determination that made this nation great.

Carry on, you brilliant bastard.

 

[Padwolf]

You have made me want crumpets so very badly. I wish I lived close enough to a sainsburys to get some in the morning for breakfast!

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Well thats decided my breakfast for tomorrow, I'll have to run to the shop first to buy the crumpets but they will be more then worth it oh yes.

Great topic.

I had tea & crumpets for lunch today, and will again tommorow.

Not even a quantom time implosion could keep me away.

You there! Yes you!

All these logical observations are quite impolite. I ask that you not point out when I'm at fault.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Don't forget the wonders of the toasted teacake.

And the cream tea

Now, I'm off to have some tea for tea. Tea anyone?

You deserve a medal.

I'm off to make another cuppa.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

I've always wanted to try a crumpet. Now that I see they look delicous, I will kill for one.

You have no fucking idea what awaits you.

They are awesome, don't skimp on the butter!

Butter.

The lubrication of the gods. There's no such thing as too much.

 

[omega 616]

I'm not even completely sure what a "crumpet" is.

This is going to sound nasty but it's like a sponge, not like a sponge cake. To be honest, I am not entirely sure what it is made out of but you put a good amount of butter on it and enjoy.

I love crumpets and I like tea but haven't had both together in donkeys years!

I do have a massive craving for them now that I read this title though, so thanks for that!

 

[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.
