Crumpet loaf?

I'm not understanding this. Crumpets, to me, are bigger flatter versions of pancakes.

Crumpets are what we in The Black Country call pikelets.

Buttery crumpets and jam. F**king heaven.

No, pikelets are thinner and flatter.

Some stuff here on variants:

'In England, there is also a regional variant of the crumpet called the pikelet. It is usually made from the same batter as a crumpet, but the way in which it differs from a crumpet varies from place to place. In some parts of England (for example in the Midlands, around Wolverhampton) a pikelet is simply a crumpet without holes. In other parts (for example, Lancashire) it has holes, but is wider, thinner and more irregular than a crumpet because it is made without being restrained by a mould, and so spreads in the pan (or griddle) while cooking.[5]
In other areas, particularly Wales, Australia and New Zealand, a 'pikelet' is very different from a crumpet -- the word describes something very similar to what in Scotland and North America is called a pancake and in most parts of England is called a Scotch pancake.[citation needed]'

I love to talk bread, had some brown soda bread earlier with butter and blackcurrant jam...heaven.

Soda bread! Yummy!

:) Yes so easy but goes stale after 12 hrs! I have regressed to Warburtons thick sliced, lovely with butter, sorry!

There are now 4 more tacos in my belly than there were 15 minutes ago.
