Don't think I've ever had either. Look like pancakes or waffles from what I just looked at. If you like what you made then who needs our version. Not sure I've had a real scone either.
Well if you've had an American biscuit, you've pretty much had a scone = ) just add jam and cream. I eat American style biscuits cold with butter as well which judging by the reactions is a no-no LOL
the main difference between muffins and crumpets is that crumpets are cooked on a griddle (using 'crumpet rings" to contain the batter to a nice circle) so crumpets are a less "baked" texture, but they both have the holes to hold the yummy honey I pour on.

Oh, o.k. thanks for the description. Had biscuits for sure and scones I can picture now. Crumpets sound similar to pancakes with honey, butter, syrup and such. I never could eat many pancakes or waffles. I think the syrup was too rich for me.
I wanted to mention "Kolaches" I believe originating in Eastern Europe. They are fruit filled pastries. I have recipes from a friend of a friend poster in my town.
Nobody has mentioned yet "Italian Dressing". I know it is not a food as sunch but you can find it pretty much in every food store in the world but in Italy.
We dress salads with salt, vinegar and olive oil, normally added in that order.
This is the basic salad dressing used in 95% of Italian families, then some restaurants and some more adventurous foodies add variations by crushing garlic or adding ground pepper and herbs, etc.
But it will be difficult to find an Italian squashing some strange liquid out of a plastic bottle.

Same with "French" dressing. The French use mostly vinaigrette which is completely different than the gloop that is "French dressing". I've also never seen a "chocolate croissant" in France ever though I was told it was French whilst in the US. "Pain au chocolat" yes, chocolate croissant, never heard of it, never seen one within France.

I have had chocolate croissants in Germany and Amsterdam but haven't been to France so I can't comment. However, I did have them all over Quebec so maybe they are a French Canadian export?
