I don't think that many people have crumpets here as a regular thing. Tea, on the other hand, is everywhere. When we sweat, its tea that comes out of our pores.

I'm intrigued to have been told that Aerosmith are British. How interesting.

I hate tea. With a passion.

Crumpets , however, RULE.

Really? How often do you eat crumpets?

Only every couple o weeks... They're my special treat that I buy myself. Along with mini pancakes and treacle tart

That's brilliant! Only on special occasions then? How about scones, danish pastries and custard tarts?

ArtistInTheAmbulance · 10-24-2005, 10:36 AM

Scones = pure greatness. But Ive never tried a custard tart, and danish pastries are nuttin special... I hope you pronounce scones the right way? As in "scoooones" not "sconnes" ?

=/ Yeah I cant spell phonetically... So shoot me.

Never tried a custard tart? They're the ones that are sold in Marks and Spencers as 'Egg Custard Tarts' (for those people who thought maybe it was custard made from something else??). I'd recommend trying them, pastry goodness.

I'd agree that danish pastries are pretty mediocre, its just that I got force-fed them by my family whenever I go home.

Yes. I do pronouce 'scone' the right way (sc-oh-nu! with an 'oh' in the middle).

Do you think the US contingent will be reading this in shock? Muffins and scones and tea! Lets all go have luncheon in the parlour chaps and chapesses.
