Those of you who know me personally will quite possibly have heard my rant on this subject. Possibly more than once. It's one of my favourite rants.
So listen up: what we have here is a muffin. Should be nothing to see here move along, but no. I wish. At some point people started to call the things I grew up with as "Muffins" "English muffins". Why? I want to know why. These things I used to (And still do! Oh yes.) call "Cupcakes" started being called "Muffins" instead. Well, although the whole thing is clearly stupid let it not be said about me that I cannot embrace change, so here's one for ya from now on I'm calling the other things "American muffins"! Deal with it.
Observe:
See, they know it's just a muffin.
That aside I was quite interested in the quality and consistency of the muffin. The ones we get here in Australia tend to be faker... I suppose like comparing supermarket white bread with a bakery wholegrain.
