[TheNuthatch]

A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Assuming by pikelets you mean what I call crumpets ( I had to Google as I thought you meant baby fish 🥴)
6 crumpets Aldi / Lidl 45p

I know it’s not the point you’re drawing attention to.

Ha ha I thought ‘pikelets’ meant mini pike fish. Was puzzled anyone would want any but then imagined they were like white bait.

But crumpets! Much nicer 😂

These little beauties are a locally made delicacy. The nearest I can describe is a freeform crumpet that looks similar to an Amarican pancake, but it's made using a yeasted batter. Currants or sultanas are sprinkled on the top. Much as I have bemoaned the price, they are a treat I can't do without.😁
I did try to post a photo, but MN wasn't having it.

Haha. I love pikelets. They are crumpets, but thin 😋.

Are they a northern thing?

We had pikelets as dc, they were smaller than pancakes a still quite thick

Did you buy any in the end
Can we have a pic
Google gives me different images…I don’t think they know 🤣

Ok. So are there bubbles.

Now I’m going to have to Google a recipe.

Down south we have none of these delicacies 😢

You can't get chips and gravy down south either. I couldn't cope 😂

Yes I did. I only buy them onth a month or so, so it's hardly going to break the bank, but still. I did try to post a photo. I'll have another go. edit to add, nope, still can't post a photo!

Oh wow.

Thanks !

No
we have mayonnaise 😁

Blasphemy

Me either! Curry sauce just doesn't cut it.😂

Heathen 😂

But these for desert.

Am I saved

No way! I’m a northerner and we never had / have pikelets. Crumpets, porridge, barm cakes, Eccles cakes, Kendal mint cake, Bakewell puddings (which are nothing like the boxed Bakewell tarts) but not pikelets.. they look nice though! We’ll try them.. 😂

Ooo I love those ❤️

Ooh I haven't had a tea cake in eons. I think that's redemption.

Food of the Gods 😊

We shall save the muffin/bap/roll conversation for another day. Enjoy your teacake.

Am I really on here with a bunch of northerners 🤯🤣

Yes, sorry, you're surrounded. 😁

My grandma and grandad in Yorkshire always had these ones, which we never had (in Lancashire). Was a treat .

😂😂 Again - what a treat! 😂😂

I'm a north-based East Midlander, if that helps?!

And it's roll! 🤣
