Um. Kind of like a cross between a roll and a crumpet. Normally you toast them. Warburtons do them. Try some, they're nice in autumn.
How is it that OSB doesn't know what an English muffin is?
Wouldn't that just be a called a muffin?
Last time I was in the UK I saw shops selling "American Muffins" - funny, they looked just like regular muffins to me...

They are - in America anyway, except for English Muffins which are sort of flat bready-things, and are also remarkable for the fact that they don't actually seem to exist in England.
Perhaps you would like a biscuit instead?

It's cos she is part of a generation of Americanised Brits. I bet she doesn't know what a pikelet is either. Or a staffordshire oatcake.

I believe those are scones, Grisha.
You know those McDonalds breakfast muffins, OSB? They use English muffins.
I like pikelets, and potato scones, I think they're called.

Well no less an authority than Colonel Sanders calls them "biscuits" and that's good enough for me!

Biscuits are what you call cookies.

The best thing to do in Leicester is probably eat breakfast and drink pink cider.
That breakfast isn't fat bastard enough for me, I'm afraid.

I can't stomach breakfast, let alone an English breakfast.

Probably because we don't eat that many of them in England itself?
We eat crumpets and toast with a cup of tea. Or a fry-up.

Crikey. You could probably get a larger version. I think they did extra stuff too. Like black pudding n that. It was actually quite an exciting place, for a caf. I wanted to take the menu with me.
