Never a fan. When I was recovering from surgery and on a low fiber diet, and my son was cooking for me, he got some English muffins for breakfast. Wanted to know if I wanted butter on them and for some reason that didn't sound good but I said there was some creamy peanut butter in the pantry somewhere and that sounded better. And I got hooked on just plain peanut butter for a snack. Not on white bread, but English muffins, naan, even flour tortillas. Hold the jelly as well.
Part of the reason I think is that I recalled one of the doctors I used to work with -- a cardiologist no less -- used to say peanut butter was the healthiest food in the world and a good energy pick -me-up. He used to eat it straight from the jar with a spoon during afternoon meetings.

@dancingtongue Ok, some facts...
1. "English muffins" are not an English thing. No one here eats them. It's an American misconception.
2. For a real treat, slice a banana up and squish it on the peanut butter sandwich... Delicious. And it's just about the most nutritional fast meal you can eat.

@Glossy When I Google it, I get this:
Do the British have English muffins?
They've been around in England since long before Thomas popularized them here. Go to any British supermarket, like Tesco or Sainsbury's, and you'll see them marketed as simply “muffins,” or sometimes “breakfast muffins” or “toasting muffins.”

@dancingtongue Yes, we have them in stores. But they have a very low profile in our culture.
Ask ANY English person you know the simple question... "When was the last time you had English muffins for breakfast?" And see what they say.
