105-457: A correspondent to Manchester Notes and Queries , writing in 1883, claimed that the crampet , as it was locally then known, simply took its name from the metal ring or "cramp" used to retain the batter during cooking. The early crumpets were hard pancakes cooked on a griddle, rather than the soft and spongy crumpets of the Victorian era , which were made with yeast. From the 19th century,

126-438: A different recipe. A pikelet is distinguished by containing no yeast as a raising agent and by using a thinner batter than a crumpet; and as being cooked without a ring, giving a flatter result than a crumpet.

This name was derived from the Welsh bara pyglyd or "pitchy [i.e., dark or sticky] bread", later shortened simply to pyglyd .

168-585: A judgment of incompetence on the part of the target'. Others have pointed out however that, in an informal setting like a pub, 'the use of terms of endearment here was a positive politeness strategy. A term like "mate", or "sweetie", shifts the focus of the request away from its imposition...toward the camaraderie existing between interlocutors'. Terms of endearment often 'make use of internal rhyme...[with] still current forms such as lovey-dovey, which appeared in 1819, and honey bunny', or of other duplications. Terms of endearment can lose their original meaning over

189-487: A little bicarbonate of soda was also usually added to the batter. In modern times, the mass production of crumpets by large commercial bakeries has eroded some regional differences.

Crumpets are distinguished from similar sized muffins by being made from

210-487: A man who calls one "sweetheart" in public'. Berne points out that 'the more tense the situation, and the closer the game is to exposure, the more bitterly is the word "sweetheart" enunciated'; while the wife's antithesis is either 'to reply: "Yes, honey !"' or to 'respond with a similar "Sweetheart" type anecdote about the husband, saying in effect, "You have a dirty face too, dear"'.
