An English muffin, of the kind you buy in the States, is not English. Muffins that are sold in England as "muffins" are more savoury in character and might be eaten as an alternative to crumpets - pause ... I've never had a crumpet in the US of A ... do you have such things? (no crude comments, thank you, keep your minds on food).
The irony is that you can now buy English muffins in the UK that are actually American - just spongey cakes in a paper "bun case". Intended as a single portion but really far too big to be healthy as such.
Think I should go and hide now because I'm sure lots of folk will disagree with almost everything I've said!
