Okay these come across to me as a meme Bong food.

"Ooh tea and crumpets" etc.

But I finally actually got to try one.
They're superior to toast in every way. Even solely with butter they're heavenly. With their crusty, chewy exterior hiding a soft lattice that soaks up butter, why aren't crumpets more popular?

Yeah English muffins are God tier, toast can suck a big fat dick. There's no comparison, English muffins do everything better than toast. I'm American btw

crumpets are my mothers favorite food, usually with honey, so we'd normally have some in the house growing up. Only as an adult I noticed they're not very popular.

The English Muffin is also a superb Bongfood and carries a filling well. The crumpet seems like it's destined for simple topping of butter and/or jam instead.
Maybe we've given them too much flak? For all their jellied eels and faggots they have some undisputable gems.

Dropping a batter into an iron ring atop a grill or hot pan. All the holes in it are the result of bubbles rising up from the bottom.

People probably don't get them when they're fresh, if you buy stale ones they're chewy in a bad way. One of the best breakfast foods though, hands down.

crumpets fairly common and popular in the winter months in Australia.
the holes in them hold so much butter and vegemite.

basically pancakes, except you overcook the crap out of one side and never flip it.
results in the bottom being firm and crisp, with the top being full of holes that absorb toppings like jam or melted butter.

Americans are fat and have fucked up ideas on what breakfast should be. They think if it isn't bacon, meat is something to eat for lunch or dinner. And they hate vegetables. So what does that leave them? Bread and doughy foods. Donuts, pancakes, waffles, cereal, etc.

We have bread and cereal for breakfast commonly too, but we don't fill it with sugar all the time.
