@david-burton saidPikelets are nice but Welsh-cakes are better.
Has anyone tried Sourdough Crumpets or the world famous Pikelete.
M&S do a fab pack of 8, not too thick, not too sugary & lots of fruit.

@david-burton saidDoes it help that the raspberry jam contains whiskey and was purchased from Fortnum & Mason?

@david-burton saidThat is indeed the underlying joke.
nice bit of crumpet is old english slang for a very pretty girl (meaning as tasty as a crumpet).

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWould Ghost eat crumpets with mustard on them? 🙂
The Ghost pops in to check everyone is talking about crumpets.

@very-rusty saidNo, just buy him good quality butter and raspberry jam.

@the-gravedigger saidI never said anything about buying anything. I hope you are not having hallucinations.

@a-unique-nickname saidIt did shift from Posts that gave me the best giggle: 2023-2024 to the crumpets and what to put on them which seemed to take off. 🙂
This is the crumpet factory?

@a-unique-nickname saidI'd say, with the preponderance of men posting here, this is more of a sausage factory.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidIndeed you say Sir, after all this is an English Chess site. So it would account for Crumpets being voted a superior Breakfast. Depending on the country involved you would have different results. I would say that poll would be pro English. 🙂 Or would English bias be a better way to put it? 😛
