Just for comparison, english muffin:

 

 

Makes more sense to call it a crumpet, since it's the same thing and we don't have another food by the same name...

 

no no - we have those too - they're completely different to crumpets. we call those english muffins also...

 

So what's the difference then?

english muffins are like bready and more savoury and crumpets are spongy elasticy things more like a fat pancake than bread.

English muffins (not the cake, sweet type), the ones in the pic, are very much similar to bread.

Crumpets are very much not like bread. More like, erm, I dunno, Pancake? But savoury.

Rubbery, if you will.

the crumpet is more eggy and less bread-like than it's close cousin, the muffin.

I see. I'm interested in trying one of these then.

Precisly, crumpets are like a cross between a pancake and a pasta mix imo.

seems like they make them in the USA...

Do they have malt loaf? Ah, joy.

Fat free? GTFO BCM.

This is going to be a long search, I can tell now...

Not sure what that is, but we have plenty of malt liquor.

all the little holes fill up with melted butter. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnn

Does that packaging seriously say serve them with pizza? What the fuck.

Or semen.

@ Keltoi.

No it says you can make Pizza with them.

Who the fuck does that?

I have had melted cheese on crumpets before, its rather delicious, thats not far from pizza I guess.

It also says you can make tostados with them!

eurgh

Its all about the Soreen bitches.

i agree with everyone

Also known as hotcakes and flapjacks.

 

here, flapjacks are oats and honey, tray-baked snacks..

 

 

feels like we're learning stuff.

that is new to me

flapjacks are another word for pancakes here

i'm going to adopt "drop scones"

I really want crumpets now.

aaah, well that makes that line in Groundhog Day make more sense. I thought that was a rather peculiar food request by that drunk man...
