Crumpets

What is a great British breakfast? Forget bacon, eggs and sausages... the English food that I miss the most is crumpets! What are they? Well, they're quite difficult to descibe so it's best that I let the pictures do the talking!

Crumpets are deliciously soft bread products, which should be toasted, served hot and covered with melting butter. Mmmmmm!

This is marmite, a yeast extract rich in vitamin B12. Some people love it... others hate it! Marmite is especially good to spread on crumpets or any other kind of bread or sandwich. Be careful, it has got quite a strong taste!

Crumpets are sold in all bakeries and supermarkets in the UK. So next time you are visiting, why not try them? The next best thing is to have a go at making them yourself! Check out the recipe on this youtube video. Enjoy!

Britain has many such bread related things that you can eat for breakfast or lunch. Crumpets are by far the tastiest, but you should also try toasted muffins. They are good with butter and marmite too!
