minus-square@Yggnarlink3•24 days agoIs that the same thing we Americans refer to as an “English Muffin”? I always thought crumpets were cookies or something lol.
minus-square@bandwidthcrisislink7•24 days agoNo it’s not. It’s more of a spongy consistency compared to a the dry, breadiness of an English muffin.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•edit-224 days agoExactly. It is the optimal food sponge; not too deep, not too shallow. It’s also a fantastically endearing insult to use, since it means someone is a little dense but not actually stupid, and I like to believe that we are all crumpets in this way.
