Crumpets. Marmite. 'nuff said.
Try a toasted Thomas’ English Muffin (the only good kind, IMO) and add some lump crab meat mixed with ,nay introduced to, some mayonaise (Hellmans, on the east coast of the US). Then broil for just a touch.
Talk about tastey! Man, oh man that is some good eatin’. Makes a great hors d’oeuvres as well.
Come to think of it, English Muffins make a great base for a Tuna Melt too. Mmmm…, Tuna Melt…, I’m off the grocers for some muffins!
tarragon has the right of it. there must be marmalade of the orange.
I don’t know what kind of muffins you’ve been eating, but that sure wasn’t English.
You are all so cruel! Here I am, not an english muffin in the house, and no way to go out and get any until tomorrow. It’s torture!
My needs are simple–toasted, with butter slathered on them. Honey is nice, but not neccesary.
Crumpets are hard to come by around here, but good.
Of course, I did just buy a jar of marmite, and I could just make do with a slice of toast…but it won’t be the same!
I just bought some English muffins from a London supermarket. The package says “Sainsbury’s 4 White Muffins”. Sainsbury’s being the name of the supermarket. So yes, they sell them here, and yes, they’re different from crumpets (which Sainsbury’s also sells and which are like eating a buttered dishsponge), and yes, they also have the other kind of “muffin”.
Fork-split, toasted and buttered. Keep it simple, folks.
