crumpet
Toasted British teatime
A crumpet is a small, round, spongy bread with a porous top surface, cooked on a griddle and typically served toasted with butter.
The holes on top absorb melted butter, making it distinctly rich.
Crumpets are primarily British, eaten at breakfast or tea.
In British slang, crumpet refers to attractive people, especially women, viewed as sexual objects: a bit of crumpet.
