Never a truer word spoken, Chegg my love.

@weeber that sounds great tbf! Might give that a go on one of my remaining 5 crumps.

They must be cooked under the grill. Cook the flat end first to get it nice and crisp, then cool the holey side until it’s hot and firm but not scorched.

Good morning Kermo. This morning I had two crumpets, buttered with Marmite. This is a change to my usual approach of two crumpets, buttered with Bovril.

My toaster is set to 7 (seven) when I toast my crumpets, this is a contrast to it being set at 3.5/4 (three point five or four) when having toast.

Honey’s acceptable. But you can never beat butter. One of those foods that needs to be perfectly toasted - the balance between crispiness and the soft centre is essential. Under toasted is never okay.

I believe that 9 (nine) is the final visible number upon the dial

I can see it working, because the crumpets would absorb the bean juice better than your standard sliced loaf. Would make for a very juicy crump. But four dense crumps with beans is far too much for me, I’m afraid.
I had beans on cheese on toast once, thinking I was a wild and sexy maverick, but the melted cheese rendered the bread impermeable and ergo was a disaster. Would not recommend.

Truly not what I expected the answer to be

Really lovely and thorough answer, this. Thanks, Tone. Enjoyed it so much I’ll probably read it again later!

He also used to put things in the oven for EXACTLY the time and temperature stated and refused to compensate for the fact that it was a shit oven and ran a bit cold, and would just eat his food a bit cold or undercooked.

That’s really cool IMO

I’ll be honest, he doesn’t sound like my kinda guy. Or yours, for that matter.

He used to eat tinned haggis. The wrapper was tartan. It smelled like dog food.

Hot buttered crumpets are one of the peaks of civilisation. Cheese on top if I want savoury; jam/marmalade if I’m having them for breakfast. If toppings (other than spread/butter) are involved, always have one plain as a palate cleanser. This was a longer reply than I was expecting, tbh.
EDIT: when I say plain, I mean buttered.
