I'm a loose cannon me, i've gone for the crumpet, and i do not regret turning my back on my previous adoration of the potato cake.

Can we have an american muffin instead as an english muffin doesnt really tally with the other options

But isn't the American one filled with fruits fatty stuff and doesn't toast, it is not a true muffin it is a mongrel muffin

Aaah fair enough, i thought it was the other way round.

It that case its a english muffin for me

Crumpet just edges the potato cake for me. And Lisa.

It is a cake made in part from potato, God don't you know anything Bruce

 

[spiced nuts]

Crumpets are clearly the best on that list. I'm guessing they mean a rosti type thing by "potato cake"

I heard Delia was making cakes out of potatos the other week but I got the impression it was just something you did with leftovers and stuff, not out of preference.

I wonder how they come up with the name?

 

[monty]

Clearly we have run smack into the north south divide. potato cakes are bloody lovely, see present thread concerning the topic

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Hmm, well I'm proud to say one has never passed my lips

So, on that basis I will plump for a crumpet, seeing as you can have jam on one, and jam is the best.

Closest thing I could find to how I remember it.
