Yum... think I'm going to go have some.

Oh, yeah!! I haven't done that since I was just a young lad! We used to have a little glass bear with a salt-shaker-type top, and we'd fill him up with a cinnamon-sugar mixture ... Ah! Happy days! I should make a batch up one of these days. Thanks for the reminder, Gord!

Peace.

Yes, but toast offers greater variety

Sez you! You can do anything with an English Muffin. Hell, I've made little pizzas with them.

Who, me?

Come on, you know you'd love a nice English Muffin right about now...

maybe, but I'd prefer a crumpet. how do I get this across...

muffin = mufin

english muffin = muffin made in england

crumpet = crumpet

and toast is infinitely more versatile, if only due to the increased surface area for extra flavour, different types of bread for variety, and stiffness for hours of tasty frisbee fun.

Bah! Everyone knows an English Muffin is more aerodynamic than toast.

Lies! not only are crumpets inconveiently soft and posessed of an ungainly flabbiness, but the top section of a round loaf baked without a tin gives an excellent round aerofoil shape.

I'll do all things British, Including having breakfast with cold beans in tomato sauce on toast (actually acquired a taste for that revoltingly english breakfast culture during my time in Oz) , but marmite!!?? eewww...

phillistines...

Biscuits = Cookies
English Muffin = Breakfast greatness
Burnt English Muffins = Convenient hockey pucks
English Muffins = Aerodynamic sleekness
Toast = Wobbles in mid-air
Marmite = Yecchy brownish residue...

Yes! Defenders of the English Muffin assemble!

keep that up laughing boy, and Chanak = Greasy residue on carpet

My name has been besmirched.

aw, bless. have a crumpet.

No thank you, I'll have an English muffin.

you realise that I am already onto your shallow fabrication of a alternative name for crumpets. I need photographic evidence.

and not a picture of a crumpet with the caption 'english muffin'. I know your type, you breakfast revisionist

Pfft. Bloody lemon. Of course I love strumpets for breakfast. However, that does not stop me from consuming the ultimate breakfast accompaniment - yea, the basic building block of a balanced meal itself - which, naturally, is the English Muffin. I shall forgive you your indulgence. Pass the hot butter, please.

EDIT: As for the photographic evidence...nay, a photo would not do the revolutionary English Muffin justice. Indeed, it must be experienced in order to comprehend the true joy of communing with the nooks and crannies.

Crumpets...bah. Barbarian!

Things Toasty Update

Today, I decided to break new breakfast ground. Relying upon my extensive culinary instincts and uncanny knack for kitchen innovation, I forged ahead with variations of one of my all-time favorites, the onion bagel. Supplying myself with robust onion bagels from Lender's Bagel shoppe, I toasted them thoroughly, browning them to perfection as I paced upon the linoleum restlessly. I could feel inspiration floating about in the ether, and tastiness dancing in the air...ah, I fancy I understand how a young father, expecting the arrival of his first child, must feel upon the eve of delivery. Seizing the toasted specimens as soon as they emerged from the bake, I placed them upon my workbench with precision, focusing my attention soley upon transforming these rather bland little marvels of the baker's craft into a gift from the gods...

Slathering the bagels with generous amounts of Philadelphia cream cheese, the metamorphosis began. Retrieving slices of beefsteak tomato I had set aside beforehand, I applied the lightly salted giants of tomatoey goodness to the bed of cream cheese I had prepared for them...it was almost as if I could hear music tinkling upon the breeze as I did. Yes, it was a magical morning in the kitchen.

The most beautiful things in life are often the most simple. With the old adage gently echoing in my coffee-starved mind (the pot was still brewing), I topped the marvels off with a slice of Canadian bacon apiece. The music seemed to reach a crescendo then, rising to the rafters as I prepared to dig in to the work of my hands...

I liked it.

They taste like onion bagels.
