English muffins.

[IKE]

Not wanting to run the risk of upsetting my delicate little tummy rolleyes I've always eaten either a slice of lightly buttered toast or a toasted english muffin prior to taking my morning prescriptions and supplements.

I've been having toast the past ten days or so but I just had a muffin a few minutes ago and for some reason it tasted exceptionally good this morning.....so good in fact I'm sitting here fighting the urge to go toast another one.

I like the brand pictured the best......do you like english muffins ?

I like the Thomas brand. Trying to cut down on the carbs and just eat a half.

 

[RadishRose]

Thomas's, but they seem to have gotten smaller over the years. I stopped buying them a while back.

.....do you like english muffins?

Yes, yes I do

The extra crisp ones

Lightly toasted
butter and jam

a bag usually does it

...usually

 

[Aunt Bea]

Yes!

I keep a bag of these lite English muffins in the freezer all split and ready to go. I use them for burger buns, cheese on toast, tuna melts and as Terry mentioned a half with breakfast. Keeping them out of sight in the freezer helps me make them last for a couple of weeks.

Yes, toasted with sliced strawberries and cottage cheese on top. Healthy and delicious.

Wow, that sounds really good - I usually just go with peanut butter and honey. Not so healthy....

Once in a while. I do like the looks of the variety shown in Aunt Bea's post.

Do the English eat English muffins? What's the difference between English muffins and crumpets?

My in laws came from England. My wife loved English muffins.

They have them with eggs.

In fact I am going to look up the recipe and bake some.

 

[debbie in seattle]

Love ‘em. Toasted with peanut butter.

 

[Falcon]

I usually keep some on hand. Good with peanut butter and fruit preserves of
some sort.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

I buy Thomas English muffins for the hubby. He says that don't taste the same as they use to. Maybe it's just him.

 

[Falcon]

Could be, Ruth.

I like them toasted with cream cheese, same as I like a bagel.

yes we do eat them but we call them simply ''Muffins''... There's a big difference in the look, texture and the taste of Muffins and Crumpets...

Muffins....

Crumpets....

 

[deesierra]

Yes, they are a staple in my pantry. I too like the Oroweat extra crispy. But my favorite is the inexpensive brand that I find at Grocery Outlet. They are hardy and tasty and only .99 for a half dozen.

 

[Furryanimal]

Love a crumpet with the melted butter dripping through it.And a dollop of jam on top.Tea time treat for me.Morrisons ones are good.

 

[Tommy]

Thank you hollydolly and Furryanimal! I've learned something new. I haven't ever seen crumpets in our grocery stores. I'll see if I can find Morrisons for sale on the web.
:thanks:

Whole Foods sells crumpets, but I haven't bought any yet. I'm afraid I'll eat the whole bag! My friends love thm.

Morrisons are a supermarket chain Tommy, so furry's favourite crumpets are supermarket own brand, probably hard to find online over the pond....

perhaps try the international Aisle in your local supermarket...

 

[tortiecat]

Always have 'whole wheat' muffins on hand. Have them for breakfast with honey or marmalade
and for lunch with a poached egg.

 

[RadishRose]

Trader Joe's also make crumpets, Tom.

 

[Tommy]

Thanks for the information, ladies. As it happens, I'll be in Portland, Maine tomorrow and I believe both Whole Foods and Trader Joe's have stores there. I'll take a look.

Holly, being a big city person you probably wouldn't understand, but ... that there is funny! Maybe the international Shelf ... ? Maybe ...

English muffins are bready while crumpets are.... ?

I don't think there is anything you can compare a crumpet to.
The best you could say is that they are very porous
They go well with honey poured over them once toasted.

Tommy ...lol.... shows how much we Brits embrace other cultures.. I don't live in the city, I live in a village on the edge of a small market town in the countryside 20 miles outside of the city... and every one of our supermarkets has at least one whole aisle of International food , Asian, Chinese, Indian, American ...even tho' we don't have people from those countries living in this particular small area, people like to use International ingredients in their recipes..etc..
