Do americans eat crumpets ?

If you what do they think?

>> No.4217207

We call them English Muffins. They are delicious with sausage patties. And can make easy mini pizzas with a toaster oven.

I've had a few crumpets before (found them in a store), they're pretty good. I enjoyed it with runny eggs and sausage.

I was watching a movie (cinema?) where everybody talked that London talk and one guy (bloke?) says he was hoping to go to town (shire?) and get a bit of crumpet.

So he just wanted an English muffin? I thought he was talking about meeting (shagging?) some girls (birds?).

I like English muffins but now am confused.

American here, and yes, I eat crumpets. I even make them myself. (because, they're really easy to make) Anyway, I love them. I like them more than scones or what we call "English" muffins. I'd rather have fresh crumpets. Damn, now I want to make some, lol. Anyway, I make them and love them I guess because my mom always made them. She learned to make them from a recipe book someone gave her when she had her first baby, it was a book of foods specifically for children and toddlers. That's the same recipe I use, and it's fantastic.

You're missing the point.
Our "English" muffins are the same thing as the English's muffins. So the Pennsylvania Dutch didn't invent them. They may have popularized a resurgence of them, but English muffins would have already arrived, as they were in England already, and no doubt arrived with immigrants from there as well. Understand?

I'm English and I had never heard of an English Muffin until my teens, I think they are more of an American thing. Crumpets on the other hand are fucking delicious when all the butter runs into the holes. Nom nom nom.
