Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 With a Brit as a global moderator, and an Aussie leading the spam wars, it looks like the Commonwealth is trying to take over. We need to make sure there is not a Canadian mod as well or they might invade us. Upon Mars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Without question, an excellent choice. I have a question. Will there be crumpets with the inevitable tea brought by our new colonial governor? —Alorael, who has actually eaten his first crumpet sometime in the last year. He wasn't quite sure what they were, but the real thing didn't disappoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Out of the night that covers we Black as the pit from pole to pole, We thank whatever gods may be For his unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance He has not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance His head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find him unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, He is the master of our fate: He is the captain of our souls. adc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't quite sure what they were, but the real thing didn't disappoint. Are they hard to get in the US? Whenever I've spoken to people in America about crumpets, nobody seems to have a clue. Anyway, thanks everybody. First order of business: There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the "Millennium Falcon". You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive.

I've also never seen them in the UK, but I never looked for them either. Why didn't you offer me crumpets when I visited, Nikki? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 You can get crumpets in Canada, so you Americans just come on over. Note that the speed limits are in kph.

Well-Actually War Trall Sarachim Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Are they hard to get in the US? Whenever I've spoken to people in America about crumpets, nobody seems to have a clue. In America, they're usually called English muffins. Everyone in America knows what an English muffin in, even if they don't realize it's also a crumpet. Triumph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 They're not the same. In England, an english muffin is called a "muffin". Not a crumpet. Kind of like how in Canada, ice hockey is called "hockey". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Upon further investigation it seems that I also need to acquire Scottish crumpets in order to fully understand the delicacy. —Alorael, who was a bit surprised by English muffins being muffins there. Perhaps cookies should be renamed English biscuits for clarity. Savory English biscuits can be called American biscuits for parity.
