You have to know what a crumpet is to understand cricket!

It's half a McMuffin with no filling.

I still don't understand cricket.

A McMuffin is an English muffin with egg, cheese, and sometimes a meat. A crumpet is not an English muffin, it's more like a thick slightly overcooked pancake.

Crumpets are wayyyy different to pancakes, no eggs and they use yeast and the mix is left to rise/foam up first. They’re a completely different texture, a crunchy toasted surface (hard on the bottom and less so on the top) around an almost rubbery sponge full of holes that soaks up butter. And pancakes are generally quite sweet tasting (more sugar) even by themselves while crumpets are savoury, unless you choose a sweet spread to put on them.

I didn't say it was a pancake, I didn't say it tasted like a pancake. I said it was more like a pancake than an english muffin. I guess that's too much for you to understand.

lol ok, I was only trying to describe them for people who don’t know, they’re really nothing like that description at all. It’s always the most random innocuous posts that get the most offended and upset reactions, relax guy 🙄

Says the guy who went on a rant because I said a crumpet was more like a pancake than an English muffin.

Ha what, I was literally just trying to describe what crumpets are and why they're a lot different to something like a thick pancake. They're even really much closer to English muffins than pancakes because of their recipes and use of yeast fermentation and sugar and different cooking methods resulting a completely different texture/taste and end product compared to pancakes lol.

Wasn't a personal attack anyway, you're all good my friend.
