David Dunham answered Philip Hibbs asking
> what the hell is an "English Muffin"?
The likely reason for confusion: when I first visited the USA in the 80's=
,
I was amused to find a kind of =
cake called an 'English Muffin' which at the time I had never seen in
England (or even Britain). In recent =
years these have started to be sold in Britain, called 'muffins', often o=
n
the same shelf as what was and still is called a muffin here.
The old-style muffin is a disk-shaped bread-type item, perhaps half an in=
ch
thick and three inches across, =
suitable for splitting in half and toasting. That seems to be what David=
was talking about.
