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

sometimes Ghost really lets down the british class system.
Does it help that the raspberry jam contains whiskey and was purchased from Fortnum & Mason?

nice bit of crumpet is old english slang for a very pretty girl (meaning as tasty as a crumpet).
That is indeed the underlying joke.

Would Ghost eat crumpets with mustard on them? 🙂

No, just buy him good quality butter and raspberry jam.

I never said anything about buying anything. I hope you are not having hallucinations.

A man like the Ghost who can afford servants has no need for anyone buying anything for him. 🙂

It 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. 🙂

I'd say, with the preponderance of men posting here, this is more of a sausage factory.

Indeed 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? 😛
