I was born and raised in England. Came to the US in 1966. I remember buying crumpets in packages. They had like a rubbery texture, but toasting them made them taste delicious. The toasters they used to have in England were attached to the stove and only toasted one side. So when toasted the tops turned golden brown, and just right for soaking up the butter
"Soaking up butter" is one of my favorite expressions, Margaret - thanks for the tasty memories. PJH
