Tracie Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Originally posted by gracejanet other differences which call arguements are fishcakes (me) rissoles (him) and breadcakes(him) baps(me). Until I came to Sheffield I had never heard anyone call a bread roll a 'bread cake'. It seems to be a term unique to Sheffield too rather than the North in general, in Doncaster they are baps or rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I always thought that crumpets were the "fat" round ones, and pikelets were also holey, but thin. But then, I'm from the other side of the penines originally. When I first came here, I had, and still do, a problem with "breadcakes"... It's a barmcake, and when you go to the chippy, you have a "chip barm", not "chip butty" as this suggests it is between two slices of bread!

rubydazzler Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 but Tracie, hon - a breadcake isn't a bread roll anyway, could get away with calling it a teacake if ur from Barnsley i suppose .... we called soft bread rolls, bridge rolls don't ask why ... pikelets were the fat round ones in our house and the flat floppy ones, weren't they oatcakes? Crumpets were sort of bready with no holes, i think they're really english muffins ... but deffo not pikelets .... (or is all this false memory syndrome ... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracie Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 LOL I guess I am oversimplifying it all a bit - 'thats a bit round thing made of bread, it must be a bread roll', etc :D It must be a Southern thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caz1 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Pikelets are the flat thin versions..Crumpets are the round ones quite thick...this is always how it has been to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Here is an Aussie recipe for 'pikelets' and to confuse the matter even further, when my mother made something like these she called them "dropped scones" http://sammy.katgyrl.com/pikelet.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Always called pikelets when I was a kid (1950's) although I reckon it's because my mum didn't want me to hear the word crumpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickszz Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 All major Supermarkets do sell both. Crumpets have more depth and piklets are much thinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
