LoL What did you have on them? I am obsessed with food as you can tell. I am so impressed that we will be able to have them in canada too. My 2 love them after for a quick tea after school.

DH is out (making the most of the pub before we go LOL) and so I have been picking at things and nibbling all night. Making the most of Walker crisps and M & S biscuits.

I find crumpets at the local A&P but may not be the same as those in England.

I toast them, butter them and then pour maple syrup on 'em.

Why do you believe that there aren't crumpets in Canada? Is it just an excuse to indulge yourself? Heck, we even have them here in the US.

Yes it was a total excuse to indulge myself. I have been doing it all week. Tomorrow night I shall be indulging myself at the pub! Only a month to go after all.

I just had lashings of butter - enough to dribble down my chin

No.....Muffins are made of bread dough and so don't have all the little holes in that crumpets do. The butter just sits on the top instead of soaking in and dripping through the holes...mmmmm
Depending on where you are in the UK, muffins are also called baps, oven bottoms, bread rolls, bread cakes etc. etc.

Drooling now, just thinking about crumpets with lashings of butter, haven't had any in ages.

Or how about toasted teacakes? Do you get those over in Canada, are these just a British thing. Of course they have to absolutely drip in butter as well.

I was missing a bit of home and my Mummy the other week, so i got out the flour/sultanas and stuff and made rock cakes, lasted all of 5 minutes when the rest of the family came home - made scotch eggs on Sunday - daughter is missing, scotch eggs and pork pies of all things, found cornish pasties so we're all right there. Thing is we didn't eat them that much in blighty

I have good news for you...yes you will. My daughter brings them home for me from Toronto. 2nd piece of good news...you can get hot cross buns too! They are both available all year round. Think she buys them from Loblaws...brings loads home for the freezer...together with chocolate digestive biscuits and Cadbury's chocolate.

After toasting the crumpets...butter them and put cheese on top...cheshire cheese is best and pop them under the grill. Of course a good old cuppa tea is compulsory. Mmmmmmm.


Edit. Sorry I've just noticed several people have already mentioned buying crumpets.

Only if it's going too far eating a jar of Nutella with a spoon!!!!

It's the best chocolate in Canada

no, no, no, no, no. muffins are never ever baps, a bap is a barmcake, oven bottoms are thick barms, a roll could be all of these, but long for hot dogs and you've lost me on the bread cakes.
muffins are definitely just muffins, glorious butter soaked works of god.
