Sausages and ice cream? Now there's a combination I haven't thought of before.

Crumpets readily available in most major supermarkets like Safeway, Superstore, Calgary Co-op Etc.

$1.89 for six Plain or Buttermilk at Calgary Co-op.

Ooooh, fish fingers - I'd forgotten all about them!

I would suggest tackling a big box of cream cakes from one of those little bakers you find in small towns and villages. Over here the only cream cakes I've tried (eclairs) were full of weird sweetened cream. Not too bad, but nowhere near the real thing

Still they are always soooo good. Way better than they sound!

I can't say they're superior to crumpets with butter and jam (seems you will be able to source them over there anyway!) but Blueberry bagels with strawberry cream cheese from Timmy's come veeery close.

Does the inside of a muffin not look like the crumpet pic when you cut it open?

I know what a scone is, and what a potato scone is... that's about my lot I think

You know what the other night when I couldn't be bothered to attempt to be Jamie Oliver I just said 'FISH FINGER SANDWICHES!' That's what I want to cook. Then got the yellow pages out to order pizza And I totally agree white bread and red sauce please and sometimes a little sarsons.
