When I was in the US - I searched high and low for this delightful food without success. In fact it was one of the few foods I missed while I was there - I am hoping it is a case that it is known as something else

So here it is

And where do I get it

Depends where you're moving to. Here in Florida they're in the egg section of the supermarket. Natch.

They're recently been added to the "international frozen foods" section at Ingles here in North Carolina. Which is one freezer. And I like 'em with butter and jam, or back home in Canada we put Cinnamon spread on 'em.

If you will be moving somewhere that has a World Market or a high end grocery store with a large international foods section, you may be able to find them.

You can also order them from on-line Canadian and UK food shops.

I LOVE crumpets and missed them as well when I moved here. I have checked out all of the local stores - including Whole Foods - and they just don't seem to be available in this area. I did find an excellent on line site and have ordered them in (I need to order some more, in fact). Here is the link: http://www.tea-n-crumpets.com

Their prices are really reasonable and a lot cheaper to be shipped than they are from Canada. They are located in San Rafael, CA. I worried about how fresh the crumpets would be when they arrived, but they were fine - in fact, better than fine - they were great!

I highly recommend them.

I have also ordered the crumpet tins and have the recipe - just haven't got around to making them myself - they are too easy to order through this site:-).

Thanks for posting I will keep that for when I move

Mm...honey and crumpets! The honey always melts and mixes with the butter and then the gooey mixture seeps all the way through the crumpet...

recently, I've been thinking that maple syrup does this even better...

Thanks for the recipe Sally, will give it a whirl...am missing crumpets too!

Have to say though that I love vegemite and loads of butter on mine...but I'm a savory freak

they have them at my local supermarket...i live in brooklyn, ny and they have them at my key food...i think your best bet would be the healthier stores like whole foods or trader joe's because they tend to carry more imported foods than regular supermarkets

edit: nevermind about whole foods, because someone already posted about that

Ohhh now I want crumpets.... one with golden syrup and once with melted cheddar!

[Leafgal 3]

They are available her in Virginia in the bread section. If you are like most of us you will miss things for sure, like Chocolate and I don't mean Hersheys lol.

I have seen them at Trader Joes.

ewww; vegemite on a crumpet is a TRAVESTY, and I say that as an Aussie

honey or maple syrup is the only way to go

(the wiki article mentioned cheese first on the list of toppings, which also disquieted me more than somewhat )

ohhh cheese on crumpets is great!!! my first choice everytime!!!
