its winter over here, and i can assure you that i am verry blooddeyy, ccccc,cccccollld.

but i do enjoy a crumpet or two(i had eight yesterday) everynow and then

Who else enjoys Crumpets?

or if the subject of crumpets is one that will be completely
culturally divided, then what is every one elses favourite winter treats?

i love a nice warm set of crumpets with honey, and a hot chocolate or a warm chai Tea (Owns Eh Liberator?).

[Huntn]

I admit to liking scones (a close relative?) with clotted cream and jam.

[DaveyJJ]

My mom used to make crumpets in mid-late June and we'd mash up a huge bowl of fresh southern Ontario strawberries and drizzle that all over the warm, buttered crumpets.

I feel like an ass. I don't even know what a crumpet is.

As far as my favorite winter treat? Spaten Optimator or Oktoberfest with a Black Forest Torte. OMG yum.

Cold? C'mere^* fer a minute, then talk to me about cold.

But yes, crumpets and honey are enjoyed here.

Though more culturally relevant winter treats would practically anything covered in maple syrup and/or poutine.

Picture a muffin, but wider, and with holes on the bottom.

I like crumpets and scones, but I really like Mexican pastries.  They're not as sweet as typical pastries, and they go well with tea or coffee.

No, you're thinking of a strumpet.  A crumpet is a musical instrument much like a bugle only with valves.

Wait, I thought it had something to do with Cricket?

You can't eat crickets unless you roast them first or cover them with chocolate. But in both cases, the exoskeleton still is too crunchy for me (and the legs have those little sharp barbs that make the chirping noise -- they hurt a bit going down).

That's not that different from a Crunchy Frog.

• 1st, yes it is very cold here.
  
• 2nd, that does sound good, and I would have to say that it does own AMG!!!

I prefer scons to crumpets. I would have to say Huntn, it would be even better if the scones are recently baked, so when you cut the top off them, you see the steam rise while you slabber a good dose of jam ans cream. Now that with a nice hot drink.
Sorry AMG, I would have to say I prefer my devonshire tea to your crumpets.

Very early on from when I joined IMG, I remember telling AMG that it was either me, or that your jokes are really good and consistent. It is really good that there are so many people out here that can make great jokes.

Mexican pastries? What are they?

Do you mean chai? Or chai tea? Which one?

Liberator.

P.S. If you are asking yourself that question (is Liberator stupid or is there something else here?), then yes; they are different, but I'm not telling you how, you will have to find out...

i guarantee there only different in some sort of poncy north fitzroy way.

North Fitzroy, poncy?  

Chai tea is more of the crappier commercial tea that you get. Chai = tea (literally). Chai is the better quality tea that you get, not something slimy that AMG drinks.

You mean that clean snow still exists*? Or do you have to make the snow to make the treat?

*A reference to acid rain and all the pollutants in the air.

Oh my god i knew you would pull that one.

okay, basically what you are reffering to is the same thing. no they are not classified by different names.
but only a word modifier.

and i am about to own you right now. prepare for teh Ownage.

Chai: itself is a spiced tea mix, containing chai leaves, and is usally prepared as a tea. depending on different cultures, in different ways Eg. some cultures such as that of Indians, enjoy their mix fresh with boiled water(the "Chai" you speak of) and in others

Quote

Many Western commercial preparations such as Oregon Chai are strongly flavored with vanilla and honey, with other flavors far less dominant. This results in a far mellower, "cozier" beverage than most Indian masala chais, with a markedly different flavor.

so now the other definition

and yes as you would have now figured out, i copied the excact same definition, into both terms. They are the same Bloodey thing.

so in conclusion, what you should have instead of

was, "what tea are you speaking of dom? packet "Latte-esqe" mix, or fresh Chai Mix?"


eitherway, Chai, and Chai Tea, are in fact

The Same Thing

"Latte-esqe" mix, or fresh Chai Mix

Are not.

so, no i was not reffering to any in particular. fresh chai is good, as is making a latte out of Teh chai.

We Love Teh CHai     


oh yeah darbs one more thing
