slo’s Friday 4/4 poll - English Muffins

[gncntry]

We like the Bay’s brand English muffin. They are in the refrigerator section close to the dairy stuff. We keep them in the fridge or freeze them. We have an inexpensive vacuum sealer and I put them in the freezer for a few hours and then vacuum sealer them. Works well.

I haven't had an english muffin (except as a sausage mcmuffin) in a very long time. I enjoy most of the flavors but I think original, mutli/whole grain and sourdough would be my favorites.

Wonder how difficult it is to make english muffins? I need to activate/use my sourdough starter maybe I can make some sourdough english muffins?

 

[Grand Koalafornian]

I don't get them often, but I happen to have some right now. I usually get whole wheat or sourdough, but sometimes I get cinnamon raisin if I have some cream cheese to use up or something. I've never had blueberry or cranberry, which is odd because I love those fruits and their muffins and bagels.

 

[HopperFan]

Original and only Thomas' ~ I won't buy any other brand. Given that I only get them when on sale.

 

[Diznygrl]

We prefer sourdough, but will also buy original, cinnamon raisin, and seasonal ones like pumpkin spice. I'm not sure I've ever even seen blueberry. For some reason prices go all over the place with Thomas' (at least at my store) so I get them when set at a reasonable price and store them in the freezer.

Usually I will eat them with just butter, occasionally with lingonberry jam from Ikea. The pumpkin spice ones I like with apple or pumpkin butter.

We often have the plain ones here. My DH likes them as a breakfast sandwich on the weekends. I like them too, but I like bagels more, so if I'm going for breakfast bread, I'll usually choose a bagel. I didn't realize there were so many flavors of English muffins. He prefers Bays brand to Thomas's although we'll get Thomas's if they're on sale.

Thomas’s English muffins, and once in a while Wolfermans

 

[MamaMermaid]

I loveeee English Muffins and would happily eat any of the ones you listed above, slo!

 

[The Mayor]

We usually have english muffins in the house because we both prefer them instead of toast. Plain or sourdough are the choices we have.

 

[Skywalker3]

Don’t like or eat English muffins, but…also had no idea there were so many flavors or varieties. Maybe I’ll try them again .

I’ve always enjoyed English Muffins in the morning for breakfast (usually with eggs) and for lunch when I make baby pizzas with them (I haven’t done this since DD21 went away to school). I don’t buy them often now because DH doesn’t eat breakfast at home during the week (he eats a yogurt & granola bar at work) and I don’t eat them during the week either, so they go stale and have to be thrown away. I did buy them last week, which is what inspired this poll, to make homemade egg sandwiches at home last weekend. Since it’s Friday during Lent (no meat for me), I’m going to make myself another egg & cheese sandwich for lunch today - I’m pretty excited about it. When I decided to do this poll, I was surprised at how many flavor/types of English Muffins there are. So share with us today……..

When you buy English Muffins, what flavor/types do you enjoy?
(multiple choice)

*I have the flavor/types from the Thomas’ Bread website. I can’t list them all, so if your type isn’t there, please choose “other” and post what it is.

*If you have a good recipe that uses English Muffins, please post that for others to try.



For Me…….As I mentioned above, I don’t buy them often, but when I do I/we enjoy original, cinnamon raisin and blueberry. I never tried the other ones. I’ll have to look to see if that honey wheat one is available at our grocery store - that looks good. I normally walk right past them without looking at them.

I like them but my husband prefers crumpets which look like an English muffin but have a completely different texture

I love those too!

For English muffins, I'll buy Bay's as a splurge, but actually prefer store brand over Thomas's.

 

[AnnaS]

I buy original when on sale. I also freeze. I do buy once in a while whole wheat or cinnamon raisin.

Use it as many have posted (always toasted . For a quick bite - I just use a pat of butter or I will add a slice of yellow american cheese and squash down so it melts a bit while muffin is off the toaster .

 

[Toolulu22]

My husband eats them regularly, so we have the king size in our home most of the time. I prefer the normal size for butter and jelly or even PB and J. The king ones are good for my lunch tuna sandwiches.

Whole Foods sells artisan English muffins called Stone and Skillet in three flavors, in their bakery section. These are so good- more dense than Thomas’ EM. I’ll purchase these once in a blue just because they are yummy. The plain ones taste like a cross between English muffin and biscuit.

We both enjoy them & eat regularly. I usually buy Thomas regularly when Acme has a BOGO sale. I like Sourdough, Buttermilk, Original and Cinnamon Raisin. DH doesn't care for Cinnamon Raisin, so I get him one of the others or the Multi Grain Light.

I grabbed more on my Walmart order today, along with Canadian bacon slices and eggs, already had the cheese. I'm looking forward to breakfast!

 

[DodgerGirl]

I LOVE English Muffins and every weekend I eat one for my breakfast. The brand I buy is Thomas English Muffins and I don't know how Thomas does it but their English muffins are so tasty and good and I NEVER have had a problem with Thomas English Muffins and I put ham and egg and cheese on mine and it is better than McDonald's Egg McMuffins. How do Bay's English Muffins taste? Are they better than Thomas English Muffins?

 

[PollyannaMom]

How do Bay's English Muffins taste? Are they better than Thomas English Muffins?

I like the taste, but it's hard to describe exactly what's different about it, other than they taste really fresh.

Mostly, I just find them a lot easier to split for toasting than the Thomas brand.

 

[John VN]

As I type having a Thomas' Original with Organic Ceylon Cinnamon, will try Bay's when Publix has another 2 for $5.00

I make my own Egg McMuffin - Light Multi Grain English Muffin, one egg, one slice of Velveeta Cheese and one slice of Kroger Canadian Bacon = three WW points.
