Wrong wrong wrong!!! It's a Lancashire Oven Bottom Muffin!
The rags think that football only started in the 1990's.
Some of our same barm deluded folk think that bread making only started in the 1970's.
You foolish people "Lancashire Oven Bottom Muffins" were first produce in Lancashire in the City of Manchester in 1892.
There was a slogan back in the day that stated "Here comes the muffin man".
Here's a brief potted history of the "Oven Bottom Muffin":
"The origins of the Oven Bottom Muffin are somewhat lost in time, but they are believed to have originated in early Victorian times, in Manchester, Lancashire area of the country.
When the local Baker had old dough left at the end of his baking day, he would flatten pieces of the dough into small rounds and flip them over during baking on the bottom of the oven, which is how they got their name.>
The Baker then sold them from a tray slung around his neck. The Bakers were affectionately known as the Muffin Man. He would make his presence known by ringing a bell in the street, and people would just stop him and buy his products. People would shout to each other "Here comes the Muffin Man".
Embrace your heritage and buy a muffin put some bacon and egg on it and proclaim "Hail the muffin man". Then have a cup of tea, make sure you've not dribbled on your clean shirt and go to work!!.
I await a similar "historical" response from the Barm brigade!! I won't hold my breath, because THEY HAVE NO HISTORY!!
