Crumpets & Clouds

Posted in iTravel on December 21st, 2009 by Andy Husbands

I’m in Seattle to see family for the holidays, truth be told I was born here and lived here till I was 14.

I’m staying in West Seattle and while driving in on I5 to downtown the weather guy on the radio said it was going to be mostly rainy today. Not really surprised, but I love it, and it really feels like home.

I’m starting at Pike Place Market to pick up some salmon jerky but first a quick stop at the crumpet shop. My friend John Delpha of Belted Cow Bistro turned me on to this place and it’s a must go to when I am in town.

Most people have heard of crumpets (as in ‘tea and…), though many have never had ‘em. Think of them as a English muffin meets a plain muffin meets a cake. Sweet, crunchy, airy, crumbly, yummy!

They serve them with honey and butter (my fav), with jam, with eggs and ham, nutella, etc….i think we need to start serving these at brunch again.

A great way to start my visit.
