I've never seen an Englishman request or eat a crumpet except on TV or in films.
FP edit: wow... I made FP with a buttered crumpet. Send pics of breakfast breads.

I'm American and I'll vouch for crumpets.
GamingMule
Yes. They are delicious!
TangoIndiaTangoSierra
What is that? Looks like half a griddle with butter (American)
Mortalnick
So that is what a crumpet is...
ShiftyT08
Stop it. You're making me moist.
Surkhan
i eat that shit in texas. put an egg on top and you have achieved breakfast greatness.
shimmernshine
I miss Texas. Wish I could move back.
dave909
Hell yeah...in my house we call them butter sponges.
majesticbattlestar
Spread some butter, grate some cheddar and stick in the oven, microwave or sandwich press.
Sauroctonus
I'm not the only one who has cheese crumpets? :O
NoUserNamesLeftToChooseFrom
Could smash back a whole packet of these delights. Lots of butter and honey. Big in Australia, not just U.K.
shimmernshine
I feel the same way about eggo waffles.
drenix
That's literally all Tiny Tina eats, son

Crumpets are crunk.
AlmaAdelier
From North east England and they're pretty commonly eaten
benbendingmoon
I had crumpets yesterday.
ChloeRed
Same here, with cheese melted on
themanthemyththebellend
I lover them smothered in butter and covered in golden syrup.
happinesshitherlikeatrain
That's a crumpet?!?! I wondered if English people ate "English muffins" as we call them down here
shimmernshine
Apparently they have both.
happinesshitherlikeatrain
Well that's just confusing
shimmernshine
kinda like Canadian Bacon.
triggerhappy21
Have 2 for brekkie most mornings. Butter and sunpat crunchy. Great!
Sianallama
We have them here in Canada, my husband and I have them with butter and Maple Syrup. It is delicious!
landofahz
You already said Canada, I'm pretty sure Maple syrup is implied.
Sianallama
I think most people eat them with jam.
cy433948531415
Absolutely love them , best butter , touch of marmite then a thin slice of extra mature cheddar. Crumpet heaven...
squishybaker
yes they are fairly common, almost always on sale, 2 packs for £1.
omgawesomeusername
Where?! The cheapest I've found is 65p
squishybaker
any of the big supermarkets.
RoxanneLaWin
Have we found out where to get crumpets 2 packs for £1 yet? I've been on the edge of my seat.
CluelessAmerican
Wait how many p's are in a £

iseeaveragepenis
Marmite is a must on crumpets
JustcallmeBeevs
YES!!!
Garbinator
You have opened my eyes to new realms of breakfast enjoyment
sonicloop
The butter disappears in front of your eyes as your spread it.
r272365
That's a sign your not using enough butter.
honeybadger16
are crumpets the same thing as english muffins?
shimmernshine
no. Crumpets are cooked on one side only and made with a thinner batter. Muffins are allowed to rise and cooked on both sides, so no holes.
mineovermatter
English muffins have the exact same holes as the picture
shimmernshine
Only if you cut them in half. That's a whole uncut crumpet.
honeybadger16
TIL, ty! .. now i want to try a crumpet..
shimmernshine
Are you in the US?
tacosforeverymeal
The holes are hidden on the inside.
Yuma60
This English / American eats them occasionally, I make homemade Egg McMuffins with them.
tallquasi
homemade eggy muffin thingy master race! (?)
relaxyobatty
Crumpet and muffin are not the same thing
Yuma60
Details details
Cucumbawumba
Me too! Or I'll make scrambled eggs, bacon and just butter/toast these on the side
monkeyboi620
I do. Had one yesterday. I prefer them with mayonnaise though.
shimmernshine
I love mayo.
JustcallmeBeevs
Now that's just weird!
DarwinsFlinch
The only English crumpets I've ever seen are on page 3 of The Sun.

There's a difference. The crumpets have this weird bubbly interior, the muffins are more like normal bread.
ohhhhhhello
English muffins are different. Those are what you get on a McMuffin. They're more bread-y. Crumpets are spongey and chewy
therealjollyroger
Is there a difference between this and an English Muffin?
NSATailoredAccessOperationsUnit
No such thing as an English Muffin, it's just muffin. American muffins are just cupcakes. Crumpets are more chewy than muffins
therealjollyroger
Are they sweet?
NSATailoredAccessOperationsUnit
Nope, just plain tasting. Spread strawberry jam and whipped cream, put in mouth and chew. Delicious. Slightly chewy.
shimmernshine
I think you mean strumpets.
LikeABonerInSweatpants
Crumpet is also slang for females... watch the movie Faster (about MotoGP) "Why race MotoGP? The crumpet I suppose." - Sheeny
LikeABonerInSweatpants
Stupid phone, *Sheene
shimmernshine
It's cockney rhyming slang for strumpet.
DarwinsFlinch
No question. But it popped into my brain anyway and I ran with it. ;)

CraftedLine
Pancakes?
NoUserNamesLeftToChooseFrom
Do you have crumpets like that as well? Asking for a friend
lauraInternetJunkie
Is it like a blini? A non spongy pancake?
ArthurPhillipDent
Its an extra spongy savoury pancake
DayraX
I had christmas tree shaped ones for christmas when I stayed with my mum! I miss crumpets, can't get them in Spain ;-;
hardytardigrade
Texas crumpets?
MikeTheRipper12
Megacrump.
ThePolarMole
Is that the Warburtons one? Fucking magnificent they are
nemorodriguez
Made me super sad to pretty much boycott these soon after they came out. Bloody Tories ruin everything
CaptainCuntPunch
Stop, please. One can only get so erect
kaiserdas19
British people!
RobJenkins
Either a really small face or really bad eyesight? Also didn't you start calling them "freedom muffins"
ArthurPhillipDent
We're scottish. We dont rename things to include freedom. Only america doea that
RobJenkins
Bad taste joke, sent in impetuousness at a bus stop. Apologies
bigbrother
of course you do. Are they deep fried?
happynewyear001
:O I'll be right back
Showsyerhaggis
Fuck up ya dafty

Hoho, big funny man wae the played out deep fried patter. What's next, something about heroin?

Does Scotland have a drug problem?
shimmernshine
Can you get one made into a pizza?
whatspaulplayingtoday
That sounds delicious.
Beelsebooob
This is Scotland, you can get one made into a pizza, and then deep fried!
myteenyverse
Pictures!!! And you will reach the FP!!
shimmernshine
You answered my follow-up question.
OnlyMyHonestOpinion
I wish I could up vote this again.
PTMdragon
as an Italian-american... i feel like we would get along
TheNameIsEaston
As an American, I agree. But we'd probably take your deep fried items, batter and deep fry them again, after adding bacon of course.
TurrdFerguson
Canadian here, we call them English Muffins and they are the best.
Justmetoo
Crumpets are made only using baking soda, where as English muffins are made with yeast or sourdough
xSquirrelly
Hmm, you sure you don't just think they look like English muffins? Crumpets and English muffins are two different items. Similar though.
sharkkibble
Agreed. Simply put, one is a yeasted bread dough and the other is more of a batter/dough leavened with baking soda .
jokersmadlove
Also Canadian here. You are incorrect. Crumpets and English muffins are 2 totally different things. Crumpets are infinitely better.
NextineX
Canadian here, no we don't. English muffins and crumpets are distinctly different things where I am, in all grocery stores and restaurants.
IHazAwoken
Same in America. My dad eats them all the time
Sianallama
Other Canadian here, we call them crumpets and English Muffins, English Muffins.... :(
ArgentMoire
Other other Canadian here, English muffins are completely different from crumpets, crumpets are one sided, english muffins are cut in half
Sianallama
Agreed.

Wait, what do you call English Muffins in Canada then?
NiceBluishHue
Crumpets
oldandbored
Northern English bloke here, we call them pikelets up here. I do eat them but not often.
r272365
Pikelets are very thin crumpets though. M&S do a lovely buttermilk pikelet.
oldandbored
I know they're different to crumpets. I think it's a local thing.
JustcallmeBeevs
In Staffordshire (home of the oatcake) pikelets are slightly thicker pancake type things with currents in them
themobileappisbroken
Hugely popular in Australia too.
PatrickRob82
Remember those Australian Toaster Biscuits commercials? They were fucking adorable.
boxersandbluesbrothers
Crumpet with butter and vegemite!!
themobileappisbroken
senefen
Yessss. I have one with peanut butter, and one with Jam and butter.
KahnNZ
Also in New Zealand, love me some hot crumpet.
gimme
Yep I have them every morning for breakfast!
theowlinred
Still miss the BCW ones though, they were the best!
themobileappisbroken
I don't know what bcw ones are.
gingersrule
I thought you guys ate pikelets :)
PhiIIipJFry
We eat pikelets, in my experience crumpets are more common.
BigPapaJSR
We eat all kinds of shit
DrunkAzSkunk
Tim Tams, Tiny Teddies, Nutri Grain, Caramel Koalas, Curly Wurly, Freddo Frogs.. mmmmm
themobileappisbroken
We eat them too.
shimmernshine
WTF IS A PIKELET OMFG
AvianVetNurse
Best reaction ever!
shimmernshine
Hyperbole. It's what's for OMFG WTF IS THAT OVER THERE?!
themobileappisbroken
Not too different to a pancake. Smaller though.
shimmernshine
Not sure about the texture, but those look exactly like American 'Silver Dollar Pancakes'.
KahnNZ
Pikelets are smaller and have alot more sugar in them.
goochtickler
Hell yes! Also, Warburtons or GTFO
Imtoooldforthisshit1
Kingsmill all the way LOL!
IloveSwordsTheyAreShiny
3 years later, here to say AGREED!
landseer
They are the best. Takes longer to toast but worth it once oozing with butter.
Comeinsideandhaveacupoftea
I have to run 2 toaster cycles with a gap inbetween so it can cool and then go crispy.
landseer
Impressive technique.
shimmernshine
I might have to look into getting someone to send me some.
puddleofaids
Try with peanut butter. It's amazing
shorey66
Warburtons do big ones now as well. They only just fit in the toaster and are epic in every way.
shimmernshine
So I should look for gigantic crumpets for my quarterly shipment (sarson's vinegar, salad cream, and proper f-ing HP sauce)
shorey66
Hell yeah! Get some proper Cornish pasties in there as well. WC Rowe ship them frozen worldwide.
shimmernshine
Actually good on the pasties, we've got http://www.cornishpastyco.com locally founded by a Cornish expat. Super popular + very good.
shimmernshine
They have an incredible sticky pudding, I swear each one has 1/4 can of lyle's in it.
