Now Mason has gone, the important question is

[man in the corner shop]

I quite fancy trying a pikelet. Don't sell em in Sainsbury's but do in Waitrose for the MCW element

[Jacko]

Have always called crumpets pikelets, but my mum is from Yarksher so to be expected.

Drives the missus mad though.

HOT Crumpets with loads of butter.

[CA Baggie]

My grandad was as Black Country as can be and always called them pikelets regardless of thick/thin etc. I suspect he was often referring to crumpets.

Same with my old man, always pikelets.

[tHEgLASSdOORS]

My old man (of local origin) and my old dear (Mancunian) never resolved this argument in their 50 years together

[man in the corner shop]

50 years.You see, nestors and Masons come and go but these are the real sorts of long standing issues that need to be sorted.

My nan and grandad, her from Brum he from Staffs, they interchanged crumpets and pikelets, then my mom would usually call them pikelet. I suspect that I have never ever seen, or eaten a real pikelet, only ever misnamed crumpets.

The word “pikelets” comes from the Middle Ages where soldiers would put a dough mixture into the end of their pike and use it as a griddle over an open fire to cook it.
