RE: French bread crisis - punikahakaiferret - 11-26-2024
Wasn't there a discussion here just a bit ago on the similarities and differences between crumpets and English muffins?
How about scones vs biscuits? Fruit, or no fruit?
'Tis the time of year to talk about food, and even eat it (if one can afford it!) :-×

Go to page 7 of the Hawaiian Paradise Park might get a park thread. Crumpets were discussed as well as toasting bread on one side.
Scones can have fruit or no fruit. Biscuits no fruit. Jam and or butter is wonderful on both. JMHO.

If you’re ever on Kona side, on Wednesday, after 1 PM, in Holualoa, check out Sundog Bakery. They have French Baguettes and so much more.
https://www.sundogbread.com/offerings
After viewing the bread offerings click Pastry. If you dare.

You can also buy Sundog bread via the Keaʻau Farm to Car.

Crumpets and English muffins are different, and I'm ignoring that English muffins don't come from England. I only heard about them after moving to the US. Scones vs. biscuits is a closer match, but I think scones are denser and a little sweeter. Plus, they are designed to have clotted cream and jam put on them. American biscuits are more intended for gravy.

Do you have someone that orders bread for you?
Do you think I have a butler? Of course not. I was talking about the store. But he has been complaining that good caviar is hard to find here.
(remember to be posh)
One, with the support of some fine fellows and maidens, found the honorable store of Safeay had found and purveyed some French-style baked loaves, which were then purchased with much grace.

"They" is not defined in your post. Careful with your pronouns, dude.

Here's one more link about english muffins and crumpets:
https://www.thekitchn.com/the-english-muffin-is-not-english-at-all-234056
English muffins originated in the U.S. by an Englishman named Samuel Bath Thomas (Thomas english muffins, anyone?) in 1880. They were initially called 'toaster crumpets'. The English muffin name happened in 1894. English muffins weren't imported to the UK until the 1990's, and are marketed there as American muffins in British and Irish markets.

It is? I'll take your word for it.
Why don't you ask for proof? Facts, references, etc.?
RE: French bread crisis - punikahakaiferret - 11-27-2024
Mmmmmm...biscuits and gravy! With sage and lots of black pepper!
All this talk of bready things is making me huuuuungry!
(Just trying to keep things light...and tasty!)
Cmon, peeps, do we have to have arguments about everything?
