daily life: let's call the whole thing off.

This is something that irritated me a few months back when perusing the shelves of my local Tesco. I was looking for some Cheese Muffins to have with my scrambled eggs for breakfast (Morrisons Cheese and Onion Muffins are actually much nicer).

How do I like my eggs in the morning?

I just told you, SCRAMBLED.


To my horror I see that the muffins are described as ENGLISH MUFFINS. In America they might be ENGLISH MUFFINS, but in England they are just muffins. What world do we live in where we have to tell English people that something is an English muffin? A world where our children think of those invading American Muffins as a true muffin.
Even worse, when you search online you have to search under crumpets to find a muffin. I can't take it any more.

Well I say enough, let's send these imposters (and their nylons) back to where they came from, and once again feast on an honest British muffin.
