Blatantly crumpets. The pikelet brigade are way off...they are much thinner than a crumpet.

It was always the posh families that called them crumpets round our way

That seems to be the divide in my work, too. Or at least those that feign poshness. It won't be any surpise to learn that the girl who thinks they are crumpets also pronounces bath and Solihull incorrectly (barth and Sew-lee-hull).

Thin pikelets are just shit pikelets.

Edit: I see Chico has made exactly the same point! 😂

He's always talked a lot of sense.

I used to run a bakery. We sold both crumpets and pikelets. Same ingredients, but for pikelets the batter was poured directly onto the griddle and allowed to find its own form, inevitably turning out thinner than the crumpets, which were cooked in ring moulds.

That said I do live in a Shire, so my experience counts for naught.

Do you both incorrectly identify baps and bread rolls as cobs too? :P

Bloody crumpets, honestly.

Thanos was right. Well, he shouldn't have stopped at 50%.

We will probably get some debate on here as it seems to vary from region to region. Especially if we get people from Arctic tundra like Drummond chipping in.

But to me, this is what pikelets looks like...





<throws oil on fire>

Nope they’re Crumpets. Pikelets are thinner and wider.



No they're not, the thin wide ones are just shit pikelets.

So we are back to where we started then that they are just different words for the same thing?

Yep. But only one is the correct word.

Probably a regional thing, my Mom was born in Smethwick (poor sod) and so they were definitely pikelets when I was growing up, even in posh Solihull.

Absolutely a regional thing. The effing stinking jellied eel pie merchants I talk to down here have never heard of pikelets.
