Breakfast vocabulary around the world : 'Crumpet'















A crumpet is a savoury/sweet bread snack made from flour and yeast. It is eaten mainly in the UK and other nations of the Commonwealth. Crumpets are generally eaten hot with butter with or without a second (sweet or savoury) topping. Popular second toppings are cheese (melted on top), honey, poached egg, jam, Marmite, salt, marmalade, peanut butter, chese spread, goldern syrup, hummus, lemon curd, maple syrup and Vegemite. The butter may be omitted - but a phrase very commonly associated with crumpets is "dripping with butter".
