There is nothing like a hot (English) Muffin with butter and Orange Marmelade (except maybe with honey).

Are all Orange Marmelades basically equal? Are there "classic" brands?

(BTW do they have English Muffins in England? I believe "Canadian Bacon" is simply ham to Canadians.)

That depends on what an english muffin is, we have muffins over here.

Marmalades are not all equal, after all you can buy stuff sold as marmelade with no "bits" in, euch!

ps: I like Robertsons, Roses and Wilkin and sons brands, in that order.

In the US an english muffin is a disc about 3/4-1" thick and about 3.5" in diameter, dusted with cornmeal, and it is pre-sliced. Some brands have lots of air bubbles on the inside, which the Thomas' company calls "nooks and crannies".

"credit for the phrase "English muffin" is often given to Samuel Bath Thomas, an English baker who emigrated to New York City and began producing his “muffins” around 1880. The Merriam-Webster dictionary, however, names the origin as 1902.

Muffins are a more bread-like version of the crumpet..."

I purchased Robertsons the other day at a Harris Teeter store, but I was not sure how much credibility it had as an Orange Marmalade. (you know, in the US, Foster's is supposed to be Australian for "beer") It does say Original English Thick Cut.

we do indeed have muffins in the UK, we just drop the English part, they are tasty and on my list to try baking now that I seem to be getting back into that.

.I've got to get my gingerbeer plant up and running first though, mmmmm huge quantities of ginger beer and cheaper than cola.....
