Obviously not, it's a Lancashire Oven Bottom Muffin and they are mighty fine with bacon, sausage and fried egg on them!!

Here's a short history lesson once again:

There was a slogan back in the day that stated "Here comes the muffin man". Now everyone has heard of the "Lancashire Oven Bottom Muffins". Forget politics Manchester is still in Lancashire..........It's a "muffin"

Here's some history that all Mancs should know....Barm guys embrace you heritage and convert:

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".

Where I grew up it's a muffin.

I remember when I was a kid, my dad used to call muffins, muffdivers. He'd say something like "Corned beef muffdiver's for dinner son." I never knew what it meant, I just thought it was a funny way of saying muffin.

Anyway I was about 12 and I went to the chippy at dinner with kids from school. I asked for a chip muffdiver please. She told me to watch my mouth. I found out later why.

Thats the American influence of modern times. Just like in Lancashire we call billberies Winberries.

The Lancashire Oven Bottom Muffin started life in Manchester in Victorian times. Any historical evidence of the Barm when did it start?
 
Only the deluded who have allowed years of Americanisation to seep into their porous minds without the fortitude to remain loyal to their English, nay Northern, heritage could possibly think a muffin is a cafe.
Switch off your TVs, stop watching Hollywood and return to the days when you knew who you were.

I'm off to make a nice egg and bacon muffin, bacon reared by the farmer across the road, eggs from the chickens next door and a good old Lancashire oven bottom muffin.
