Crumpets vs. Pikelets

[danny la rouge]

Crumpets? Thin?!? Called crepes?! Noooooooooooo ya plank! Those are pancakes.

No, pancakes are thick. I even posted a picture. Crumpets are thin. And called crepes. We even have an Alliance with France to prove it. You guys must be mistranslating.

And Weepiper must be from Ayrshire or the Lothians if she thinks pikelets exist!

Crumpets are the things that don't exist. Only pikelets exist.

Of course they exist. Here's some:

What, for knowing how to translate from French into my own language?

You people need a baked goods phrase book.

Those are crepes. Go sit on the naughty step.

Yes. Crepes. Also known as crumpets.

Do try to keep up.

 

[Strumpet]

Crepes are not crumpets!

*throws something at danny*



They all taste orgasmic to me and I don't care what other people call them so NER (mainly @ danny )

Just caught that crumpet/crepe you threw at me. Mmm-hmmm. Delicious!

 

[Strumpet]

Why I oughtaaa.....


CRUMPETS -

Hmmm just looked at pics of crepes and pancakes....they're similar but crepes are much much thinner.

Goddamn it I want crepes now....the yummy ones in Rotterdam. I blame danny.

I used to get hundreds of Scotch Pancakes out of the skip in Brighton. I guess that not that many people like them (I was always thankful for them though )

CRUMPETS -

Ah, English crumpets! Now I understand.

Those only became widely available in the 1980s, with the spread of big supermarkets.

Well yeah, but it probably has more to do with my Shropshire Nan than where I grew up tbh.

Ooh, that's what it is!

Mrs LR claims pikelets exist, and she's from neighbouring Staffordshire. (Although she says pikelets are 'pancakes' made with snow instead of milk. But I think she means crumpets. That's clearly nonsense, though. Snow isn't a proper ingredient).

Both my Nan and my dad would go into fits of rage whenever they saw pikelets labelled as crumpets in the chops.

I'd never seen crumpets in the shops until this year. Lazy behaviour, if you ask me. Seen English crumpets, though.

I would love it so much if, in their rage, they removed all the fake pikelets from their packaging.

My boyfriend is sick of it. "Will you just shut up about the pikelets" can frequently be heard hissed round corners of the local Somerfield's.

E2A: I get it from my mum and my grandma who are from the Black Country.

Ahah! We have an English Midlands thing here. Perhaps it is a mass hallucination, caused by some mad thing they have in their water. Or snow.

Love it. Gonna tell my little one that from now on!

Danny - any fule no that these are pancakes:

They certainly aren't crumpets

 

[Idaho]

Right I am going to do a poll on this and the decision will be final with majority verdict being forced upon any errant minorities.

 

[blossie33]

I'm another midlander and 'pikelets' to me are what other people probably call crumpets.
Scotch pancakes are smaller and flat and have a very different texture.
