What can I put on my crumpet

Before I get a torrent of "they're different", I'd just like to say that i simply cannot refer to said things as crumpets.
It's southern wånky On The Buses type word and I can't stand it.

To me they are, and always will be, Pikelets

Pikelets are "More Sexy" [!!!]

Pikelets are like slightly wild crumpets, unrestrained by their metal rings, they are the more edgy cousin of the crumpet and all the more sexy for it. Pikelets appear in various forms in probably most cultures, as drop-scones, griddle cakes, flat breads, pancakes, and so on. But pikelets are the English Midlands’ version. The “crumpet” itself is supposed to date back to Anglo-Saxon times with the first known reference to them being John Wycliffe who talks about the “crompid cake’. I suspect though that some version of this kind of food has been around since man discovered fire and flour. The secret to the light and spongy texture comes from the addition of yeast (I used instant dried yeast) to the batter, this creates the characteristic holes that appear on the surface as they cook and it is these that are perfect little receptacles for catching the melting butter that they are usually served with. Crumpets are traditionally cooked used a metal ring, Pikelets are made by just dropping the batter straight onto the griddle or hot pan.

Going back to the OP, I've actually never tried bovril on a crumpet, I'll have to give it a go next week.

Regularly have bovril on toast, so I'm not sure why I've never made the obvious leap.
