I’m having a tea with my sandwich

And I must look like a real Englishman.
In fact if you were to see me you would probably exclaim “Look at that! A real Englishman Bobby enjoying his tea! Crikey by Jove jollygeewillakers!”

@Justmeraeagain or English muffins, to be really English

@Ghostinthemachine I had never heard of English muffins until I visited the US. I'm still not sure what they are.

@Ghostinthemachine Looks like rather like a crumpet.

@ninalanyon yes, but over her we call them “English Muffins”

@Ghostinthemachine Weird.

@ninalanyon you should try it…the texture is even weirder

@Ghostinthemachine Try it? I must have eaten hundred of crumpets. They are pleasant enough, but not my favourite food.
What I meant by weird is the US calling things 'English something' where the 'something' is not the name that the English use and also seems to be a misuse of the word in a US context.
