Crumpet etiquette

@the-gravedigger said
If you mix water flour and yeast together then fry it what does it taste like?
Clue: Sounds like 'lump it.'

You can make glue out of water and flour. 🙂 Do not fry!!!!

Is flour and water a strong glue?

(As in one cup flour and 4 cups water.) This ratio is suitable for glue, and when dry it will appear fairly clear, so it is the ratio I will use. Wheat paste is known to be just as strong as diluted white glue (stronger than straight glue) when used on paper or pours materials.

When you eat a crumpet it sticks to your rib cage.

@very-rusty said
So are you saying there are many English people with crumpets stuck to their rib cage?

1. Never eat more than two in one serving.
2. Allow the butter to melt first before applying the jam of your choice.
3. Marmite should never be in the same room as a crumpet.
4. Pick up with the thumb and middle finger.
5. Before eating, sing the national anthem.

Maybe this is a bit late, but I have a questio on point5:

Do I sing "God save the glorious King" which would be the national anthem for the Crumpet, or would I sing "heil Dir im Siegeskranz" which is the original text and more in direction of the national anthem where I life. (Probably singing "Einigkeit und recht und Freiheit" would be almost as absurd as singing the marseillaise or the star-spangeld banner?

It is incumbent upon all crumpet eaters to sing the British national anthem, irrespective of where the eater is geographically located.

Never!!!!!!!!! Might go for Rule Britannia at a pinch if it's done like the Proms.

Blessed are the crumpets, for they are holey. 😇
