Crumpet
A crumpet is a cake made from flour and yeast eaten mainly in the UK.
The crumpet is circular in shape (usually; long and square varieties also exist) and has a distinctive flat top covered in small holes. It has a spongy texture and a fairly bland flavour.
Crumpets are served hot, usually with butter. Other popular accompaniments include jam, Marmite, and cheese.
The crumpet should not be confused with the sweeter English muffin.
In the UK, "crumpet" has become a slang term for a woman regarded as an object of sexual desire. Historically it has also been used as a non-sexual term of endearment.
