I was at Publix today and went to pick up some butter. What did I spy
but English Muffins (Bay brand) in the refrigerated case. I guess I
just never noticed before. (I don't buy English Muffins often.) No, I
didn't check to see if any of them were moldy.

I posted recently about not seeing English muffins for sale here and
talking with my wife about it. She was in a grocery store today and
say English muffins so she bought a pack. I don't know why. I didn't say
I wanted them. I am not all that interested in English muffins. I was
just commenting on their seeming to have fallen out of favour around
here. However, she also bought a package of Crumpets, which I do
like... a lot.

Some of them are sold that way in some stores.

Jill, have you ever ordered English Muffins from Wolfermans? They are delicious, also they have a variety of flavors and sizes. Other baked goods too. I love them.

Nope, rosie, I haven't. I can't recall ever ordering food online
(spices from Penzey's or The Spice House don't count!) but someone may
be interested.

A friend ordered a gift package for us. After the first bite most of
it was thrown away. That's my only experience of Wolfermans. She
raved about them. Everything was dry.

I really can't imagine ordering any sort of bread online.

All I said was I had never seen refrigerated English Muffins until that
day so I was a little surprised. I wasn't really tempted to buy a
package of them.

Dave, what is the difference between English muffins and crumpets, in
taste? I Google-Imaged crumpets, and they look like half of an
English muffin, like you would cut an E. muffin horizontally and you
would see the inside surface...which looked to me the same as a crumpet.

In taste? Hmmm.... I usually have crumpets toasted with butter and
honey. My experience is more and better flavour but, more important is
the difference in texture. One of the biggest and the consistent
difference is that crumpets are only cooked on one side. The result is a
top surface that is full of holes, abysses designed to sop up melted
butter and honey or jam. I don't really care much for English muffins,
but I love crumpets.

That being said, spend the money for proper crumpets. The ones my wife
bought this week were not impressive.

I probably haven't had proper crumpets, but the ones I've had have
struck me as moister than English muffins. I like 'em.

Different texture. I much prefer crumpets.

I love crumpets and think there's a big difference. Crumpets are kind
of squishy, meant to soak up lots of butter - but decent English
muffin should be crispy when it's toasted (that's why I prefer
Thomas's). If a toasted English muffin doesn't have those nooks &
crannies + a crispy exterior and a soft interior, switch brands.
