I'd like to leave this world eating fish&chips, or mac and cheese. What are fairy cakes?

The key component of the Total Perspective Vortex. They are also tasty.

Are they like a cup cake? Or a Twinkie? Or mini pound cakes?

Fairy cakes are cup cakes. Generally made with a just a little bit of icing on the top and two little extra bits of cake stuck into the icing, kinda like wings. At least, I always assumed they were supposed to be wings...

You know, I've always wondered that myself, is it like a scone? Or an English Muffin?

This thread's giving me the munchies.

Well I think a crumpet is kinda like a very thick Scotch or American pancake. Lovely when they're still warm from toasting and lathered in butter... mmmm... [Razz]

*Goes to cook some crumpets*

Are they crumbly, like a dinner biscuit?, or soft like cake. Hmmm, some flapjacks dont sound half bad right now. Maybe chocolate chip flapjacks.....slathered in butter and whipped cream..... *drooool*

Soft and spongy like an American pancake except with holes in the top. They're normally 1/2 inch (supermarket cheap "economy" ones) to an inch thick (expensive supermarket "deluxe" ones).

Ah, I must find a recipe for said english pastry patties, they sound delicious. Topped with butter or, what was that... clotted cream I believe it is called?
Is there an International House of Crumpets?, just like there is an International House of Pancakes restaurant chain here? [Big Grin]
I personally think there is nothing like true English fish&chips.....

Try an english muffin with melted butter and cinnamon, with just a smidge of honey. Delicious!

In England a crumpet is the thick, light, honeycomb-type-holes afair, best eaten lightly toasted and with a nice cup of tea. A Scotish crumpet is similar, but less holey and made with with lumps of fruit in it.

The main difference between pancakes and crumpets is that you cook a crumpet on one side, so you get bubbles rising, which make the sort of sponge like holes appear on the top. I can't remember if you turn a crumpet, because it's much easier to buy them ready made and stick them in the toaster.

Oh, and clotted cream is better on scones with a bit of red jam, and of course a nice cup of tea.
