Crumpets

Chewy. Maybe kind of spongy. Or rubbery, even. Perhaps a cross between an English muffin and a pancake, if you can imagine. At the same time, airy and good. My friends, may I introduce you to the English crumpet?



This is not a very posh specimen, I am afraid. But still , it is pretty tasty.

My mother fell in love with these little wheels of goodness while she was visiting last spring. She ate them every day, twice a day for two whole weeks. Why, you ask? Well, for one reason, she said it didn't do wacky things to her blood sugar (she's diabetic). And two, I think it was a good enough excuse to eat this other British delicacy...
