Muffins

But what is the difference? I'm only familiar with muffins. I don't know which of your types is the same as the type I'm familiar with.

These are our English Muffins.


These are our regular muffins.

[TerryRussell]

First one is muffins.

Second one is tea-cakes or muffins...

[Capt. Matt]

Yes odd indeed...took long enough 

[TerryRussell]

It wasn't really dead. Just attending an out-patient appointment.

[RMSGreatBritain]

is it true that in america your supermarkets are like 4 times the size of our english supermarkets? i heard alot of you guys do most of your shopping like once a month and buy by bulk, is this true?

Im just interested to know

[Capt. Matt]

Sorta well how big are your supermarkets? Ours are umm I dont know the square footage , but the once a month, sorta, some people go to Costco (look it up if you dont know about it) and get huge bins of ice cream and etc, but realisticly steak and chicken wont last a month, milk wont last a month orange juice wont last a month, cause ill drink it, we go to the grocery store umm at least 2 times a week and spend 100$ or more
