@vonny,
I'm not quite sure if the o/oil garlic thing would taste 'right', but I'll try it.
Crumpets are up next in my kitchen life, since I ate the last of the prepared and frozen oatmeal almond pancakes/w honey.
Sigh.

@ossobuco,
They look very interesting. If you had of asked me yesterday, I would have said I have had crumpets before, now I know I haven't. They look kinda like english muffin, which I like very much if they are the good kind. We have something down in the south US, corn pone and corn dodgers. Very simple ingredients like crumpets; but, made from cornmeal. They are very airy also, but more like english muffins, very thin and fried.

@BillW,
Very strange - one minute I had your post talking about corne pone and corn dodgers, then the next it was followed by a long page full of obscure figures and references - I ignored that, posted - and voila - the figures and references vanished! I blame the gremlin that's inhabited my computer for the past few days!!! Evil or Very Mad Rolling Eyes Twisted Evil

@vonny,
Corn dodgers won the west, make up a sack of them and they last forever. Cornmeal, a little flour to hold them together, salt and hot hot water. Fry them in an iron skillet greased with bacon dripping as individual cakes or fill the entire pan. Pat the batter down as thin as possible and use a hot fire.

@vonny,
Sounds like you called up the code that is behind everything done on the Internet. It happens some times.

@BillW,
Wow, first time it's happened to me! I'm still fairly new to computers - three years - so it's all a bit Thurber's aunt to me - you know, comes out of the air! Thanks for the explanation!

@BillW,
I can get them in only one place in my immediate area, but depending on where you live and what is near, some u.s. markets have them. I like english muffins too, have collected recipes but failed to make them because I never managed to acquire english muffin rings - crumpet rings.

Do you wash your clothes spendi?

Wassau, what was the idea with all of that garlic in this morning's breakfast? Did we really need three forms of garlic in one omelette?


Wassau reminds Beth that garlic is good for arthritis, lumbago, sciatica, circulation, head lice and pin worms. He was concerned about Lola who has been complaining about her back lately. Arthritis, you know.

He apologizes if he over did it.

@Lola,
Garlic is also good for keeping vampires away. I haven't seen a vampire all day--it must work.

I really fancy a crumpet - red hot, with butter oozing through the holes - mmm so delicious! Please may I have a couple, Wassau? With a steaming cup of hot chai tea? Very cold in England today.

Oh my! That crumpet looks delicious. I'll have it with some plum jam please.

Also, I've heard tell that they discourage mosquitos. But I'm not sure if it's true. The vampire thing, though, that's true. I can prove it.

Isn't a pikelet a sort of Yorkshire crumpet?


It's down to thickness. Crumpets are twice as thick as Pikelets. Ithink they sell both in M&S or maybe Morrisons.
