First off, I have already reserved @hibbybilly ‘s table on this thread, and got a round in.

Housekeeping attended to, I do love a good muffin, and I’m sure many of you do also. With that in mind I wanted to share the ‘new to me’ pleasures of the ‘Oven Bottom Muffin’.

What a wonderful bap this is, a pleasure in the hand and in the mouth. Compared to the dried out stodge of a Scottish Muffin, the Lancashire version is light and nubile, with a pleasantly squeezable texture.

I recently discovered them at Tesco, though more experienced muffin men may well find this old news. Anyway, recommended.

Having pondered this reply, baffled, a dark thought has occurred.

@aggie have you imposed some 'double entendre' onto my innocent celebration of a fine bakery treat?

Have you had such a sheltered life that "muffin the mule" is just a puppet to you. If so, think of muffin as a verb. :grinning-smiley-045:

Very disappointing. Saw the title and rushed to the keyboard and aaaaah! Nothing, not even a mention of Muffin' the mule.

I think that's still against the law.

I got mine in Tesco @Dub (the brand in op) but if you are vouching for Sainsbury's I may have to seek them out!

I thought I saw them in there. I'll be going along tomorrow so I will double-check and perhaps purchase a packet.

Sainsbury's does indeed stock said item and it seems that Ma and Pa Sheldon have cornered the market. A fine roll [I can't bring myself to call it a bap or a muffin].

Even worse - when I was a laddie (just after the Boer War) growing up in London, adults got a sandwich and kids got a "buppy" as in a buppy jam or a buppy sausage. Elsewhere oop North it was called a buttie which was only marginally better. Buppy jam - jeezo!

Splendid @Dub, my work here is done (and my vocabulary above selected for purposes of my Benny Hillesque review)

A lot of our younger viewers wont know who the lady in the picture, Fanny Craddock was. She was a 1960's tv chef before male chefs became popular.
She once turned down a marriage proposal from another 1960's tv personality called Tom Weir, for much the same reason Stevie Nicks turned down a marriage proposal from William Shatner

Shat in her knicks is easy to understand and a quite clever.
I thought the Fanny one might be something to do with pissing but that was so unfunny I discounted it.
Oh well 🤷
