Pikelet or crumpet - SV650.org

Okay, not trying to start a war but just want to know if it's regional or just how you are dragged up.

Even if the packet/recipe shows Crumpets, do you, like me, refer to them as Pikelets ??????

This sparked an office 'debate' that lasted several months but tbh the lads in the office can't ever decide on owt so I hope a vote on here can settle the argument once & for all.

Your help on this important issue would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. I know a Pikelet is technically different (the web can help clear this up for anyone who has not heard of a Pikelt) but everyone in my village appart from the posh peeps call um Pikelets (yes, Tubbs does sell Pikelets with I can I cant's). It's a bit like calling a vacuum cleaner a Hoover, you known you do it.

WTF?! I mean, who's ever heard of a 'pikelet'?

Retarded...that's what that is!

No, they're crumpets here

Pikelets are crumpets on a low fat diet

Both are yummy, but if I can get them I prefer pikelets

There is a difference. Although the same ingredients, traditionally a crumpet is thicker and a pikelet is thinner......according to my wife and google. lol

Crumpets taste great with marmite, ham & cheese...
or on their own with butter.
or with jam...
