Crumpets or muffins?
- Thread starter British Red
- Start date
Crumpets are for cream and jammuffins are for butter and marmite
Nooooooooooooooooooo, the other way about, surely
Only Devon and Cornwall make clotted cream worth the name though - and a scone deserves clotted cream.
I miss Devon
We make clouted cream too, but we also have Hatted kit, which is perfect with a fruity scone

Aaah the Scottish solution
Never, ever, in a thousand years should that be described as Scottish.
How can anyone eat that? You'd make yourself sick, surely ?

Last time I was in Inverness I saw a deep fried Donner kebab pizza with a deep fried Mars bar to follow.
The case for the prosecution rests
That sounds beyond gross; I honestly have no idea how anyone can eat that.
I can't eat a whole Mars bar anyway, but even so, that's a horrendous waste of a dinner.

There's always oatcakes.
My Australian sister in law called my pancakes 'pikelets'
My English cousin called my pancakes 'dropped scones'........my infant son went looking for the dustpan and brush

Yes, filling with butter! Seriously the butter has to be spread on so thick it fills the holes. You know muffins are too bready for my liking. If I wanted that I'd eat a good bread roll or bun. I like crumpets, toasted until very crispy on the outside but soft and warm inside. Laden all.dripping with butter. Eaten hot too.
Muffins are more something to eat with eggs IMHO. However to add another product to this option, can I suggest potato cakes? They're nice toasted with fried eggs on top. Very runny egg yolks with the potato cakes toasted until crispy skin but still soft in the middle. Careful, they can retain heat for a bit longer than crumpets and muffins.
Oooh good shout on the potato cake. There are of course scotch pancakes. Different to proper pancakes, but good.
Pikelets aren't common in.supermarkets these days. They're like flatter crumpets I think. Good for fried eggs but not to my taste. Pancakes are so varied in their recipes and form. They're everything from sweet to savoury too. Most countries have their versions and ways of eating them too.
Now you're talking
Scottish ones or Derbyshire ?

Or Staffordshire....fine oatcakes there
Ive been going a bit mad with the soreen malt loaf for the last few weeks, with just a straight salted slab of cold butter on top, and a banana for brekky.
Im sure its summat to do with the prespriction drugs they've got me on, its changed my appetite.
