First topic message reminder :

Whats the difference between a pancake and a crumpet? Iv just had a crumpet for the 1st time, Amy on here was talking about them recently and then I spied them in Tesco and thought Id give them ago. (God I live life in the fast lane dont I )

While they were nice... they just looked and tasted like pancakes with holes in them. Are they meant to taste like that?

Oh and also do you guys have potato bread in England? A few people I know who have left NI complain they cant get it anywhere .

Iv never made it myself but that does sound right. I trust it because of the intro to the recipe Have you had it before? You should def try it, iv prob built it up too much now lol, its just a tradition to have in a fry here.

I am almost tempted to make it myself after seeing that. Though its not dear to buy and im lazy. Will def be having a fry this week... just need to get the car dug out to get to tesco!

No i've never tried it, my nan was irish and i think she used to make it but i dont recall trying it. I am a big fry up fan so will deffo try it when i have time as it does sound quite easy (famous last words!) I usually have fried bread but it just soaks the fat up too much. Its weird that you cant buy it in England really given that there are lots of Irish people here and it sounds like it is really popular x

If you want pm me your address and i'l send you some in new year when the post dies down. I'l give you warning that ive sent it so you can get the supplies in. Its really cheap so its no prob to send for free. I want to see what you English think of it x

Ahh that is really nice of you, will take you up on the offer once the post is back to normal! Will send my address. In terms of the post am still panicking about my Amazon parcels of christmas pressies that have not arrived.....

Im lucky all mine arrived. I think my last order I placed with amazon about 2 wks ago and got last week. Hope you get them on time! The snow here is crazy and I still havent posted all my xmas cards, they def going to be late as I cant get to PO as too scared to drive in it.

Def pm me your address on here or on FB. x

Sunblest is the same company as kingsmill hun

The potato cakes we have look exactly like the ones in your link

Am crossing fingers for parcels as they were dispatched ages ago but seem to be stuck in Scotland, have all Lily's stuff so that is the main thing! Have pm'd my address x

Debs the bread expert
I wonder why everyone gurns they cant get it then??? Maybe we only have sunblest/ormo potato bread & not kingsmill. Im sure you're right they are the same. x

Kate mine where stuck in scotland for about 5 days and then I checked tracking the next morning at 8am and they were out for delivery. Fingers crossed!!! x

Pmsl snoop my kitchen is permanently packed with bread related crap! It drives me insane tbh, here's me trying to diet and OH comes home armed with bags of carbs! We have fresh bread (straight off the line) everyday, it's still blummin warm when he brings it home, how am I supposed to resist that?

Tbh hun I'm not even sure if the potato cakes are kingsmill now, could be sunblest coz they make both brands I don't look at the packaging. Same company make sainsburys own and waitrose own brands too as well as ryvita and burgen. Needless to say our park has the best fed ducks around

Mmmmm you making me jealous deb. I could never diet in your house! In fact all this talk about bread is making me crave cheese on toast . Iv already had 2 packets of crisps while watching the telly. I need to go to bed earlier as most of my eating is done subconciously in the evening!
