I'm very concerned over the absence of buttered crumpets on this thread. I haven't previously mentioned them myself due to the fact that I've been trying to avoid thinking about them because my toaster isn't working. Is the quiet here on the subject a refection of the lack of attention and appreciation they are getting in society in general. Am I the only buttered crumpet lover left? Will they soon no longer be stocked in shops

No danger of crumpet extinction round my way, shelves are always empty if I try and pick any up for the weekend on the way home from work on a Friday. Although I did manage to get the last pack from the little local Coop this morning.
Just buttered though? I’m partial to a bit of lemon curd or Nutella although my husband like Bovril on his (he’s NT but apparently I’m the odd one
)

General rule, if it is a cake or cookie here, it goes hard when no longer good to eat. Biscuits go soft.
That's a good rule but there's always an exception , the cookies I get are biscuits dressed up as cookies , they go soft
Not that is ever a problem as biscuits don't last long in my house once opened
What IS that thing?
A candy bar? A container for cookie dough? Actual cookies?
And why is it named after the American state that I live in?
Whatever it is ....it's not available in stores here in its namesake place of Maryland. It would be cute if it were available here.
They are little cookies stacked on their side in a long packet. Probably a bit harder than usual cookies... therefore better for dunking. I think I 'd have to have a second cup of tea to get through that lot in one sitting, though.
Don't know why they are named after Maryland. On the other hand, I never found a Kentucky Fried Chicken in the entire state of Kentucky... although my entry on the thread on Object Blindness might explain that one.
Really?
Kentucky Fried Chicken places are common here in the DC area, and in most places I have been. Its hard for me to believe that they don't have them in Kentucky itself. Nowadays KFC places are usually combined with Taco Bell.

We have that, or something a lot like it. Theyre called (oddly enough) "English muffins".

“English” muffins and crumpets are completely different - muffins are “bready” in texture. They’re normally cut in half and toasted. A McMuffin is where you might normally come across one.
Crumpets are more rubbery in texture with big holes in the top. You toast them whole. They probably wouldnt work too well as a McCrumpet
