Griddled spongy bread with holes, eaten toasted with butter.
Crumpet is listed as a bakery item in the United Kingdom guide, where the index tags it vegetarian. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.
