When I first saw they were selling Christmas tree shaped crumpets I was extremely excited, a lot like this comic .
I did online shopping and ordered these delightfully festive crumpets, me, my room mate and brother eagerly awaiting them. However, when the shopping arrived the crumpets were regular round ones. They'd run out of the tree crumpets, the demand for them must be too high. So the last panel is a lie, it's what could have been but never will. I could just order them again you say? I could but that would leave me open to the crushing disappointment of not getting them. And after such a build up of excitement, I don't think I can handle that.
I am passionate about novelty foods.
Do people outside the UK eat crumpets? I googled it but you can never be sure with that google.
