French bread crisis

[Wao nahele wahine]

The difference between english muffins and crumpets has already been explained in an earlier link I posted on page 2 in post #11.  According to the article linked below, they were called 'English muffins' to distinguish them from American style cake muffins.

Have a great Thanksgiving, and if this still bothers you, take a deep breath and read the page you linked to.

"This bread is called “English” in the United States to distinguish it from our American-style cake muffins. In England, the bread known simply as a “muffin” hasn’t really changed since Hannah Glasse published what may be the first recorded muffin recipe in her hugely popular 1747 cookbook, The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy."

So maybe I should rename this thread to the Great Britain Muffin Conspiracy?

For crying out loud, this was a thread I started for some humor, and it started well until the fun police joined.

I'm not bothered, just providing some clarification. I read the link before I posted it, not sure why you seem to think I didn't. Maybe you need to lighten up also?

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving with family and/or friends.
