Edible British Creatures
The British Isles are teeming with delicious creatures to eat in ‘season’. Venison, game, fish, salmon, trout, fresh kippers, grouse and pheasant are just a few of them.
In Wales you may find welshcakes and live Leekies on your plate, in Scotland the spicy Haggis has been hunted almost to extinction, whilst in Ulster you can still fish for pickled Lepracockles. But in England, now that Spring is here, the ‘Crumpet hunting season’ has begun.
Little round spotty critters with 6 legs, Crumpets are an English delicacy, and are caught during the open hunting season of February to May. In the north they call them Pikelets. They are best lightly toasted, then smothered with fresh English butter and a smidgeon of 'Marmite' – delicious!
