slo’s Friday 4/4 poll - English Muffins

[Dan Murphy]

We'll have original here at home once in awhile, a few times a year. I do enjoy them. I'll have a McD.s Egg McMuffin maybe a half dozen times a year, substituting bacon for the Canadian Bacon. A quick, light, low calorie breakfast.

Usually just original when we buy them - our boys like them for breakfast sandwiches. Often in the holiday season, someone will send us some Wolferman's - those usually are a variety of flavors.

I like them! Well toasted so the little ridges are crunchy, with butter and sometimes jelly. I almost never buy them (not sure why) so they are a very occasional treat when eating out. I also have a breakfast casserole recipe (a riff on Eggs Benedict) that calls for them but it’s something I only make very rarely for large gatherings.

My favorite English muffins are Thomases original with lots of butter and jelly. But I don't eat them very often.

I only buy the original and usually get them when they are BOGO. I had an egg sandwich on one this morning

I usually keep one in the freezer for the days when I have no plan.

I am one of those weirdos that has always disliked English Muffins. I'd forgo breakfast as a kid if that was my only option. So, the Egg McMuffin has always been a hard no for me. In fact, as much I like the idea of Eggs Benedict (especially if it's a good homemade hollandaise) I will not even bother if the restaurant doesn't offer some kind of alternative like a biscuit, crumpet, French bread, or even a bagel.

Always found them bland/tasteless, rarely eat them. Have some friends originally from England who think they are wonderful.

Well, they are until you fill all the little holes with butter and stuff!

I like English muffins but rarely have them any more. My usual purchase was Thomas’ original muffins. I mainly used them for sandwiches (broiled/baked tomato and cheese , cold cuts, peanut butter and jelly…) or as a breakfast accompaniment. Like may other products, the last time I was looking at them I noticed they didn’t seem as large as they used to be.

 

[Micca]

Really like 'em, don't keep them around the house though. Just the plain ones for me

Occasionally for dinner, we'll make little pizzas using English muffins. First they're toasted, so that the sauce doesn't seep through. Then the sauce, oregano, sausage, and green peppers. Then we'll add the shredded cheese and lastly add the mini pepperoni slices. Everything gets put in the oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. It's a really good treat.

I LOVE them!!!! I buy Whole Wheat most often and never with raisins. I prefer themwith a thin spread of butter and blackberry jam.

 

[evilmommie]

I love a good old fashioned Thomas English muffin, toasted with butter! Yummmm!

 

[CGB]

I make sourdough English muffins almost weekly. It's a great way to use the discard when I feed my sourdough starter each weekend. We use them for breakfast sandwiches throughout the week.

Dad enjoys making sandwiches on toasted regular English muffins most of all. He also likes English muffin pizzas. Finally, every now and then he will also enjoy a toasted muffin with jam or jelly.

 

[CynBeth]

I like Original now and then.

Same here.

 

[luvmarypoppins]

I am having an original with butter and jelly today. I also like cinnamon raisin. Last week I had a mini pizza with one. Our store just had B1G2 free so we are stocked.

Love them! I do have to toast them twice to get to the crunchiness I like -- and butter spread only (no jam/jelly). Prefer the original, but will occasionally buy seasonal.

Wow.....that's a great sale.
My grocery store rarely has them on sale, and when they are, the sale is never that good.
I want to shop at your store

 

[fla4fun]

I don’t buy them for home at all. I am more of a bagel sort of person. I occasionally will eat one at a restaurant but would prefer a biscuit or bagel there as well.
