You might be a able to get a crumb off the lid of a soufflé but no way from its innards. Therein lies the crumb threshold.

I just had a packet of Bombay Mix that prompted this thread. Delicious bastard bag of crumb fuel.

Wherever the individual involved deems the threshold to be. I don’t think it’s the sort of thing that we can make any sort of judgements about outside of ourselves and individuals rather than in a team capacity moving forward

I’m expecting delivery of 16 croissants between 8pm and 9pm this evening, this sounds like a challenge!

that can’t be true surely?

there are objective crumbs

#47

I would be impressed if you did it with just one, but would be even more impressed if you did it with 16. Think about that.

when a tile falls off a roof it is a crumb

Yeah, it’s crumby but you can control those crumbs as they are all small (or large crumbs) pieces to start with so they can go straight in your mouth. A bombay mix bar and then we’re talking! Or a crisp bar. Why has no one made a crisp bar?

Epimer, patent me up tout suite! I’ll waive the £350 fee thanks.

Ooh yeah, wouldn’t have thought of chocolate. Especially a really stale one from Mr Whippy.

Bollocks. Tip your head back, open your mouth as wide as you can and shove it in there in one like a pelican, swallowing as you shove. Easy, mate.

a flake produces flakes not crumbs

I just think that attempting to draw upon a collectively agreed upon threshold from such a disparate range of lived experiences and preferences is opening the community up to potential problems when it comes to matters that may have a degree of subjectivity to them moving forward

certainly makes you think

I don’t think I could get a croissant from the plate to the position above my mouth without at least one crumb falling off, but sure, you go ahead and make your bold claims with nothing to back them up other than typed words.

And what are we if not thinkers. Thinkers living amongst each other and moulding our thoughts based on our interactions and experiences.

Does it count if I gobble them directly off the baking tray itself without touching them with my hands?

Yes, though I would argue that would be even harder, and I’m ready to argue.

In answer to the original question, I’m a crumby gal. In fact, I’m eating toast on my bed right now. I do keep a DustBuster at hand though x

Toast on bed with plate or without?

Please don’t say without.
