Is that the same thing we Americans refer to as an "English Muffin"? I always thought crumpets were cookies or something lol.

[-] bandwidthcrisis@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

No it's not. It's more of a spongy consistency compared to a the dry, breadiness of an English muffin.

Exactly. It is the optimal food sponge; not too deep, not too shallow.

It's also a fantastically endearing insult to use, since it means someone is a little dense but not actually stupid, and I like to believe that we are all crumpets in this way.

In my dad's era, a bit of crumpet was something completely different

(I might actually be using it wrong. What does it mean?)
