lol , if you say so fella . there definately bottom muffins . you can repeat yourself till your blue in the face , they're still muffins .
;-)

now what do you think the difference is in the raw ingredients used , the difference between the proving and the baking process , when producing a bottom muffin and a barm cake ?

if you bake the muffins , then deliver them personally , you must be fucked by the end of the day ? i tip my 'baker's hat' to you ;-)

It is a barm or bap. Even wikipedia tells you why it CANNOT be a muffin
English Muffin

A split English muffin.The English muffin is very different from the variety described on this page. The "English muffin" is yeast leavened and predates the baking powder leavened muffins. This produces a type of muffin with a thick, fluffy pastry and is usually baked as a disk typically about 8 cm in diameter. It is usually split into two, toasted and buttered, and bears a vague resemblance to a crumpet or pikelet. It also is eaten cold with a hot drink at coffee shops and diners. In her Boston Cooking-School Cook Book, Fannie Farmer gave recipes for both types of muffins, distinguishing between "raised" and adding instructions for a version that is nearly identical to today's "English muffin." Here the raised-muffin mixture was cooked in muffin rings on a griddle and flipped to brown both sides, producing a grilled muffin. Farmer indicated this was a useful method when baking in an oven was not practical.

a split muffin bear's no resembelance in ingredient/process to a oven baked bottom muffin . the same as , for instance a chorizo sausage bear's no resembelance to a cumberland sausage they're both sausages , but with a different ingredient/process .
and don't take wiki as gospel . according to that , eto'o is already a city player .
lol .
goodnight lads

How many chippys sell genuine oven bottom muffins? by tradition they flat surfaced what you get from most chippys aint so It aint a muffin

baza , growing up in blackley the chippys i frequented used bottom muffins . as you know , they're cheaper to produce than a barm . the average joe blogg who went in the chippy , wouldn't know the difference between a barm and a muffin . the owner would though , which would be noted by the product discription on the price list/menu . it was always a discribed as a chip muffin . i'm going back to the 1970's .
a barm cake and a bottom muffin , both of the same weight , the barm will always look bulkier than a muffin . simply due to the process and difference in raw ingredients used .
what chippys use now i don't know . whether it's an area thing are a distribution thing , i don't know .
what i do know from personal experience , regarding the thread title , it's a muffin .
;-)

is lowes managing to keep it's head above water in these shit times for manufacturing ?
still family owned are part of a multi national ?
