Mr Red BS: Crumpets - bought or made? (100* d) RE: BS: Crumpets - bought or made? 26 May 21


My niece thinks bread flour and yeast are right for the crumpet recipe. Though baking was not her career path.

So what is the difference between a bun and a bap?

In the 60's, when it was easier to test these things, TV reporters could make a statistical analysis that it depended which side of the A5 the question was asked. And I have seen similar treaties on phrases such as differing salutations - and the A5 being the divide. Makes sense, the road was important for a long time and people were more likely to travel along rather than across it.
I bet there were enough differences across the Pennines - their roses were a different colour!
