No it's not. It's more of a spongy consistency compared to a the dry, breadiness of an English muffin.

Exactly. It is the optimal food sponge; not too deep, not too shallow.

It's also a fantastically endearing insult to use, since it means someone is a little dense but not actually stupid, and I like to believe that we are all crumpets in this way.
