A very important question for our resident limeys

[Jaged]

What does a crumpet taste like?

[Serotonin]

i dunno if i should answer this question, seems like a trap

[Smaug]

looks like a biscuit

[Jaged]

Yes, but looks can be deceiving. Is it a flakey texture? Crunchy? Is it more fluffy like a loaf of bread? Is it eggy or not?

After reading this thread, I too am curious to obtain such knowledge.

In that pic they look more like a pancake texture..

You will never know the secret of the crumpets.

*Sigh*

The crumpet is not a biscuit, nor is it a variation on the pancake. There really is no way to describe the taste, unless you add something like butter or honey. Therefore it tastes like butter or sweet, like honey.

Sorry Frag.

That really dosent help much. "If you add stuff to it it tastes like that stuff." What does it taste like before you add anything to it?

Typical bland english food.

I think I had a scone once... long ago... never had a crumpet tho. I assume they go well with tea, as you always hear of tea and crumpets being consumed together. I don't like tea, so this makes me wonder if I'll like crumpets. Will a food item that goes well with a drink that I dislike taste good? I must ponder this philosophically. Or buy some crumpets and find out.

Wow, thats deep, yo.

But how would one truely appreciate and understand the harmonious relation between a crumpet and its tea... when one does not drink the tea and has not tasted thine crumpet? Would the taste differ when combined with tea? Would the tea taste the same with a crumpet?

To ponder all this I shall must.

I shall ponder this as well, whilst nibbling on a crumpet, of course.

Note: I will however, have to forgo an examination of the tea and crumpet combination due to my intense dislike of said drink. Perhaps some other fellow without such a flaw can investigate this aspect of crumpet - tea relations.

An American just can not understand the sheer delight of eating a crumpet. Nor can you understand the British/Australians.

Think, what does honey or butter taste like by itself? Add that to a crumpet and you'll pretty much get the taste.
