A crumpet is a sweet, baked item, made with yeast which gives it the characteristic holes in the surface - the holes form as the dough rises. Although they are uniquely British (not just English!), I have never heard England described as "the land of the crumpets" even though I have lived here all of my life. In English slang "crumpet" can mean an attractive lady, or even sex! A man might ask his friend, "Did you get any crumpet last night?" meaning "did you have sex?" This was quite common in the 1950's but is not much used nowadays. I'd be very interested to hear where you've seen or heard England described this way.
