    My wife & I tried to attend a World Cup cricket match in London years ago.  Took the Tube to the stadium (Lord's? Maybe the other one) and found the only remaining tickets were 100 pounds, which was ... lessee ... a lot.  So we went back to the Tube station which was closed for boarding, only dropping off the big crowds.  So we walked to the next station (a few blocks) and went back to the pub and watched.  Probably had a better view anyway, the action is WAY out in the middle of a big ... pitch?  No, field.  That evening I asked a young waiter who won, he said beats him, he's going home to watch the N.Y. Yankees.  There was a big expo at Covent Garden at the time for ... Major League Baseball.

    either Lords or The Oval I guess.... we have bigger capacity grounds here in Oz.. yes
    but is expensive to go to a game with the family.

    Some people say that twinkies, after several centuries, will be exactly the same as the day they're made.  In Pixar's "Wall-E", the only surviving non-robot on a ruined planet earth is a roach, who lives on ,,, you guessed it ... ~2:50 below

    I seem to remember a movie where one of the few things that survived the zombie apocalypse was truckloads of Twinkies. Since I've never even seen a Twinkie, yet alone eaten one, the humour of that situation passed me by. But there ya go, lol.

    It was Zombieland and Woody Harelson's character who searched everywhere for Twinkies. 

    There was also a Family Guy episode where the Griffins walked to a nearby Twinkie factory in Framingham, MA (not far from where Ilive) because Peter thought that Twinkies would have survived the apocolyps. I think it's because all the ingredients in Twinkies are artificial and therefore won't spoil.

    sounds like zombies and twinkies go hand in hand surprise

    Are crumpets and Krimpets similar?

    Not even close

    I spent my last year at work packaging them too and cleaning the crumpet cooking machine

  • DiomedeDiomede Posts: 15,173

    I wonder if I can find crumpets somewhere.  A quick internet search says that a Trader Joe's (food market) carry's crumpets. Another internet search says that there was a bakery in San Antonio called Crumpets Bakery.  Recently closed, but how did I miss a San Antonio bakery back when I lived in the area?  Anyway, my quest for a good crumpet will begin next week.

    Love crumpets as the weather starts to get colder... best with Rose’s Raspberry Jam..

    also if cooked in toaster I like three push downs where the missus prefers two... I like them with slightly burnt edges yes

     

    i hope your crumpet quest is successful  smiley

  • DartanbeckDartanbeck Posts: 21,583

    Well, it's that they're loaded up with preservatives! LOL

    For those who have never tried them, it's yellow sponge cake in the shape of a miniature loaf of bread, filled with creamy white fluff

    I wanna try crumpets too! Better yet, I want a Crumpet Cooking Machine!

    Bit of a meandering from Stezza’s whacky modeling thread (unless I try modeling it)

    but the crumpet cooker rather fascinating in itself, it was a belt of basically large egg rings that sat over a tread of metal cooking plates which rotated around rows and rows of Bunsen burners 

    the batter mixture was poured in a hopper that swirted the right amount in each ring which then moved along the burners bubbling and cooking then under a griller plate before being depanned onto an extensive cooling spiral before arriving on a belt to me to stack in the flow wrapping machine,

    Must... have... Crumpet!

    BTW if you do cook them yourself you use a frypan and egg rings

    this is from scratch I better add, easier to buy them and put in a toaster

    In a toaster . . . don't forget to totate them between push downs, otherwise the top'll be burnt while the bottom is raw!

    but my egg rings have a ltittle chick on them.   I don't think he approves of anyonme using his ring to cook the crumpet.

    Peanut Butter on crumpets - my favourite !

    smooth or crunchy? laugh

     

    I'm going to try and model a crumpet today!

  • Steve KSteve K Posts: 3,235

    I don't remember seeing any crumpets in Texas.  Honey buns, moonpies, funnel cakes, fried pickles, kettle corn ... but not crumpets.  As Robert Earl sings about honey buns:
