Crumpets
For me, lockdown has meant an absolutely manic schedule, working from home with back-to-back Zoom calls and long hours. Crumpets have been my saviour. Yes, factory made, perfectly consistent and versatile: top with yoghurt and frozen berries at 8am, blue cheese and leeks at 1pm, followed by eggs and spinach at 7pm, and you have a full dayâs menu. For a bit more lockdown spirit, I tried the sourdough version (delicious if squishy) and making my own (I promise you, itâs not worth it). Sophie, data analyst, St Albans
