Plain Talker Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 A little off topic, but I'm trying to remember. At the bakery shop, a cheap snack for us always hungry kids was, a tea cake, a breadcake, a pikelet, or one other - a little bit smaller and thicker than a pikelet. What was it? An oatcake, perhaps? ---------- Post added 20-01-2014 at 14:25 ---------- as you know i talk a lot of chickling and bag as well:gag: Tt's Chitterling and bag, kidley. something I think looks totally unappetising, but my father loves it.

trastrick Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 An oatcake, perhaps? It was like a thick pikelet, I think they were also called crumpets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the bakery shop, a cheap snack for us always hungry kids was, a tea cake, a breadcake, a pikelet, or one other - a little bit smaller and thicker than a pikelet. What was it? a fatcake was what it was,or an oat cake. I remember my old nan when she had finished preparing her meat and potato pie the left over mix for the crust would be baked on its own along with the pie. this we knew as a fatcake.

pattymumek Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 A pikelet is a larger flat oatcake (pancake size) A crumpet is the fat small one,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trastrick Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 A pikelet is a larger flat oatcake (pancake size) A crumpet is the fat small one,. That would be it but there was another more common name for them in the old days. We never called them oat cakes or crumpets, sounded too posh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattymumek Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 We said oatcakes but didn't say crumpet - definitely too posh . I think we must have called crumpets pikelets - I'd forgotten that ;-) and oatcakes were oatcakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
