So, turns out I've been eating crumpets wrong all these years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 My wife calls crumpets pikelets and it’s the thing we are likely to divorce over. I regularly point out the difference yet she still doesn’t take this on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Whack the toaster up full and preheat the grill, take the crumpets out, slather them in marmite dump a load of grated cheese on top and then chuck them under the grill to melt the cheese. Enjoy with a cup of tea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys the thicker versions are crumpets 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chine Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Pikelets for me but I’m of the older group , from memory they were called pikelets due to them being speared on a stick and toasted on the open fire , the pike was the stick , hence I want your head on a pike , we used to have this 2 pronged fork we cooked them with , pikelets used to be made by sunblest , sorry lads but god I’m old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell did we grow up in the same house and just never saw each other? Sunday night was always “left overs” pikelets, cakes and malt bread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) She's right about eating them in 2s But they come in packs of 6 not 9 Edited January 16, 2023 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted January 16, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2023 You're all wrong about pikelets. Pikelets are what you heathens call Scotch Pancakes And why is this right and everyone else is wrong? Because the derivation of the word is from the Welsh for sticky or dark bread… bara pyglyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have you know the 2 lesbians never made it to the final round with the prize board. They always got knocked out after the first round and had to share £80 between themselves.
