**congratulations on getting an assignment in Canada. where abouts you are gonna come to?

here, in Canada, an English Muffin is like small, round, soft pieces of bread.**

Inspiron....what KKF showed is the breakfast muffin (toasting muffins) and is what your cousin is looking for.

the other one is also called a muffin (a sweet muffin) and is usually used with like shaam ki chai.

ps. congrats on getting the research and goodluck.

Re: what is an english muffin?

yeah goray eat it like that. tum bhi aisay khatey ho main bhi. butter or jam ka combo muffin pe bohat acha lagta hai. i always mircowave my muffin for a bit. mujhe narmo-garam muffin bohat mazedaar lagta hai. lol @ dakaar.

rasperry try nahi kiya but blueberry kiya hai which is nice. lol i dont hate coffee but i dont like it either. i have tried it 2/3 times but its just nto my time. ek daffa ek machine se coffee li itni badmazaa ke dil chaha machine tor ker apna pound wapis le loon.

Re: what is an english muffin?

No, crumpets and English muffins are completely different in look and texture.

Who cares what the american’s call them, they are clearly wrong

Breakfast muffins can be bought from the supermarket if you want to try them inspiron.

They look like scones but I think Americans call them 'biscuits'?

Re: what is an english muffin?

Re: what is an english muffin?

biscuits and english muffins are completely different things in US.
and while the biscuits may look like scones, but they are very different.
