Actually, this sounds to me more like what the English call crumpets. Toasted, with butter which melts into the holes - mmmmm....
Yes... although it's never occured to me to cut those in half. The holes are there on the outside. And honey.... yum....
Crumpets are totally different from what the Muricans call English muffins. What is it that the English call muffins?
But cinammon raisin has always been there. Never been my favorite either (I agree that a bagel is ideally a vehical for creamcheese and lox.)
I like cinnamon raisin bagels with cream cheese and lox. It's weird, but tasty.
It was widely noticed when they had Giles pronounce the word scone as rhyming with bone, instead of what would have been the correct British way.
There was an episode of ... I want to say The Goodies but I'm not 100% certain ... where the characters had a running argument of, "scone (bone)" "scone (gone)". So, as has already been noted, Giles' pronunciation of the word was not incorrect per sé.
I guess now would be a bad time to mention "scone" pronounced as "skeen" :)
Holli is a freak!

Um, hello? I hang out with *you people.*
Besides, the raisin bagel with lox and cream cheese is yummy. Try it some time.
Crumpets are totally different from what the Muricans call English muffins.
I don't think they're totally different. I think crumpets are what English muffins aspire to be. They're like the platonic ideal and English muffins are but a poor shadow.
And FTR, most American baguettes suffer greatly in comparison, esp the fancy zahzah ones around LA and the Bay Area. Sure I eat them, but they are an altogether different, crusty little beast.
My relatives used to send us over pastries from St. Pierre when I was little. The bread was always heavenly, though so crusty it was almost take out an eye. I always hated when they sent over smelly cheese though. My dad was the only one who would eat it.
I've seen crumpets and English muffins sold as two different things, but I've also heard the terms used interchangeably. I'm confused.
No, no, no, crumpets and English muffins are two different things! We need Fay back to sort this one out. But just for starters you don't cut crumpets in half.
Friends of mine own a tea shop where they make crumpets. They looked very similar to English muffins to me and I asked if that is what they were. If looks could kill...
