Cute, but wrong...

An "english" muffin becomes simply a muffin, and a crumpet is something else entirely.

Breakfast is one of the trickiest meals of the day in terms of food being renamed. What americans call biscuits, brits call scones (and usually have them with afternoon tea, not breakfast). BTW British biscuits are what americans call cookies and there, cookies usually only refers to big, US-recipe cookies. Pancakes in the UK are thin, like French crepes, while over there, what Americans call pancakes are (Scottish) griddle or drop scones and usually made smaller, say 2 to 4 inches across. Neither pancake variation is likely to appear with breakfast, in fact you aren't likely to find US-style pancakes in any restaurant except maybe an American chain.

Even the simple doughnut can lead to confusion. If you want an american-style doughnut, you need to hunt down a Dunkin Doughnuts or similar. Most British doughnuts are made with yeast dough (instead of cake dough), deep fried, and then either coated in regular sugar and filled with jam, or coated in confectioner sugars and filled with jam and cream (real or artificial). You are also more likely to find them in bakeries or cake shops than on a breakfast menu anywhere.
