Warburtons Muffins - 4 Pack

In Britain the muffin is a breakfast staple. It turns up toasted with butter on a weekday, under a poached egg at the weekend, or with a slice of cheese melted on top when it is late and nobody can be bothered to cook. Warburtons is one of the biggest bread names in the country, so these are the ones most people grew up pulling out of the bread bin.

People in Canada go looking for them because they want that exact one. The same name on the bag, the same chew, the same way it toasts. It is a small thing, but small things are what you miss first.

They come four to a pack and live in the freezer, so you can take out what you need and leave the rest for another morning. Split each one round the middle with a fork or knife, toast both halves and get the butter on while it is still hot enough to melt.

As for what goes on top, every household has its rules. Butter and marmalade, Marmite, bacon, a fried egg with the yolk left runny. Nobody is wrong, though some are more right than others.
