Warburtons Pizza Flavour Crumpets (Ocado) By @Cinabar

I’ve seen crumpets in all sorts of fun shapes over the years, from giant versions to bunny shaped ones at Easter, and even dinosaur themed ones. These are a standard crumpet shape, but flavoured with pizza, so I knew I had to give them a try.

When I opened the pack, the crumpets didn’t give away much visually, they look like regular crumpets in colour and appearance. However, the aroma was immediately Italian herbs, which became even stronger once they went into the toaster.

I added butter once they were hot and, as always with crumpets, it melted straight through. The taste was spot on, not too strong, but with clear hints of cheese and tomato alongside a lovely blend of Italian herbs. They made a really enjoyable lunchtime treat.

They are not quite as satisfying as a slice of pizza or a toastable pizza pocket, but they are still very tasty. At just 100 calories per crumpet, they also work well as an everyday lunch option. I would definitely be up for trying more flavoured crumpets, as these worked really well.

Giant Crumpets (Warburtons) [By @cinabar]

There aren't many occasions when an advert on tv takes me so much that I rewind the TV to get Spectre and to watch it again.
After watching the new Warburtons advert for their new Giant Crumpets I did exactly that. The advert features The Muppets and the nostalgia triggered by seeing and Kermit and co hearing the theme song really made me smile. They had change the words of theme music to incorporate giant crumpets! I still ended up getting it stuck in my head for some time!
Warburtons also very kindly sent me a pack to try so I excitedly ripped them open. Ok thats not true, I tried, but I needed scissors in the end! They are quite well sealed. There is something very cool about the crumpets when you see them, they are huge! My first worry was whether they'd fit in the toaster but thankfully they did still fit, albeit only just. I did have to turn up the toasting setting a little to get them hot through and through.

The crumpets are the usual firm fluffy texture you'd expect from Warburtons, and were absolutely heaven with some butter and honey spread on them. As someone who usually has two regular sized crumpets for a portion I think one Giant one is a fair alternative. The size makes them a novelty but the quality is all there.
