What is the point of a pikelet?

They are just a decapped crumpet.

Pikelets are nothing like a crumpet, for a start they're full of raisins.

Fizzbin · 20/06/15 - 23:59

Well, I certainly couldn't eat a whole pike.

I now see the thread is about food, when I saw the header I thought it was going to be about gypsies:D
And of course it will give those nice mods something to do by shiftng it to food & drink

I would think they are an excuse to eat butter and jam.

Those aren't pikelets, those are anaemic crumpets. He may be a decent cook, but it looks like he wouldn't know a proper pikelet if it jumped up and bit him on the arse.

a pikelet is a type of crumpet.

can`t stand raisins in them, i like big, fat, hot crumpets slathered with chocolate spread.

shackfan · 21/06/15 - 05:19

Never ever heard of them.

CravenHaven · 21/06/15 - 09:30

Don't tell them your name, pikelet!

[Deleted User] · 21/06/15 - 09:49

No idea what they are. Sounds like a musical instrument the way im pronouncing it.

Pikelets are nothing at all like crumpets.
Different in so many ways.
Well from my part of the country they are not.

But not in the 'looking like a crumpet 'way.

When I lived in Leicester crumpets wee called pikelets. No difference in size and they didn't have raisins. Guess it varies aro.und the country,

Pikelets are just like a flattened crumpet and are yummy. Not as yummy as a non-flattened crumpet, however.

They look nothing like crumpets though.

Neither has Timmy Mallett.

I remember once in a game of Mallett's Mallett ( the word association game; you mustn't pause, you mustn't hesitate etc ) a girl said 'pikelet' after her opponent said 'pancake'. Mallett asked her to repeat herself twice, looked totally perplexed and clonked her with the mallett. The poor girl lost the game >:(

My opinion on pikelets? I prefer them to crumpets. The doughy middle part of a crumpet is what spoils it imo

biscuitfactory · 21/06/15 - 16:42

To those saying they're nothing like crumpets..

..they look, and taste, pretty much like thin crumpets to me

Those are raisin pancakes. Certainly nothing like a crumpet as you say.

pikelets are "austerity crumpets".Smaller, with sultanas replacing butter and honey ......
