whose crumpets are good then.. tell me and I'll slow toast them on a fork at the fire and if they're still rubbish I'll seek you out.

 

I only ever buy Warburtons if I'm buying presliced bread.   I love their multiseed loaf and their processed to within an inch of its life white.

I'm quite happy to give people Marmite aggro, though to be fair it might make the aforementioned warburton's pikelets taste of something, no matter how offensively so.

Round thin crumpety looking, bit like a pancakey crumpet.

I can't help it.. I had a crumpet..

Ahh, thank you Syd

They only sell square Pikelets down here on the south coast.

Never seen a round one.

My life is not fulfilled

I am in the South East and I'm not square 

 

(Go to M&S they sell them , nice for breckie with maple syrup)

Years ago M&S used to do Scottish Pancakes - they were nice as I remember,

*Reminds self to go to the bread section in M&S*

 

I mean, it's not like I'm in there once a week anyway........

They are a bit like them but with holes Soozy 

 Pssst! Ever tried this? 

 

Once you've tried barmbrack you never go back

Jeeze, I must stop reading this thread.  My waistline is expanding at the thought..!

Yes, My OH loves it (He is Irish), had it in Ireland about 20 years ago for the first time at Easter, it had little plastic gifts in it (Bit like the sixpence in a Christmas pudding).

 

We buy the "Paul Rankin" one over here now from most Supermarkets (No plastic gifts in it tho).

I want a want a warm pancake with butter and raspberry jam.  Right now.

Its lovely - never tasted the Rankin version though. When I come off Atkins I will try it.

 I prefer these buns.

The 'holes aren't supposed to be all the way through though.

 

 

To me that is not a crumpet....and actually looks rather revolting. (IMO)

 

 

That's what I know as a crumpet (the large folded over one, the small one is a pancake). Personally I prefer a plain one  with butter.

Many years ago I worked in Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow and there was a bakers just up the road and they used to cook crumpets on demand and even butter them for you while still hot. It could be a bit messy with all that melted butter dribbling about, but the taste was divine,

 

*drools just thinking about them*

Sauchiehall Street?  

 

You can't say that on here   

Too late...I have!
