Brunette Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I've never heard of a pikelet, that sounds like some sort of baby fish or something. It's definately a crumpet. You crayzee dee-dars! I'm with you on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellybum Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 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. In Barnsley, they're teacakes! Spare a thought for me - Im a Southerner - and in London they're rolls, and work in Sheffield where they're breadcakes. AAAAAAAGH! As to crumpets or pikelets - they're CRUMPETS!!!!

charlie9865 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 well i call them crumpets im from the south and believe me the lingo up here is so much diffrent to down kent. When someone first asked me to mash a cuppa i didn't have a clue what they where bloody on about. You dont have savaloy sold here either in sheffield in the chip shop. But then again in kent they don't sell mushy peas. it's like two diffrent worlds. charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubylou Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I was going to post asking the question, whats the difference, if any, between pikelets and crumpets, did a search and found this. I call them both, and ive lived here all my 40yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 it's wherever you come from ... like the old what is a"Fishcake' and "Rissole" debate. Most of the country determine a rissole as having savoury meat in it ... not in Sheffield though ... it contains fish, potato and parsley here .... Sheffield people also tend to call a swede a turnip? .... as for Crumpet's, when did you last see them being sold as "pikelet'? arghhhh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
