Sheffield words

[connorkh2009 10]

is it a crumpet or a pikelet?

Having a discussion and I say pikelet is a Sheffield way of saying crumpet just like we say breadcake for... Well breadcakes (that's what they really are)

[Vegas1 10]

A pikelet is a thinner crumpet, two totally different things.

[Daven 10]

Crumpet - definitely crumpet.

[geared 319]

Crumpet for sure

[Funky_Gibbon 42]

It's always been called a pikelet in my family regardless of how thick it is.

[Leah-Lacie 10]

Crumpet...

[Timeh 10]

Pikelet in my family too. We dont have them though, these days they look and probably taste like a contraceptive coil.

[Vegas1 10]

So all those companies who print "crumpet" on the label are wrong? Interesting theory.

Yes!...............................

[Chelle-82 10]

It's crumpet..

 

A pikelet is much thinner and larger in size, it is more like an oatcake in appearance.

 

Me and my best friend of 25yrs have always had this argument

Indeed it is, it is almost pointless compared to a crumpet.

Yes! Like the ones that print "white rolls" on breadcake packets!
