The most expensive muffin I have ever purchased was maybe 3.95$ or thereabouts.

No really, you dont want to ever find out, because 2 things would happen. Youd go broke from buying them, and youd gain an easy 100 pounds of fat because of it. Sometimes not knowing where the most fantastic tasting things are, is a good thing. We humans are weak

A sausage and egg McMuffin from MacDonalds. it is pretty much exactly as you described. an English muffin, an egg, a sausage patty, a hash brown, and a Tropicana (I assume), that is a McMuffin


You got that right, you also get strawberry jam for the Muffin and a choice of Either Orange(8 O'Clock)/Pine-Apple Juice or Hot Chocolate/Coffee for the Drink Choice

Shipley Do-nuts are the best.

Then Stan Makita's donuts in Aurora, Illinois 3rd best

Then Dunkin Doughnuts. (The do not even make the doughnuts on site anymore) 4th best

Then Tim Hortons. 5th best

Dunkin Donuts, Honeydew Donuts(butter nut donuts are awesome), Krispy Kreme.

Besides, I thought matty got all of his muffins for free while the local mess hall was being mortared, the way a real man would acquire a muffin.

Bleh..with the exception of Dunkin Donuts I don't care for chain stores...Krispy Kreme is so bland...their Donuts are absolutely devoid of flavor...they just taste of sugar and ...air.

EDIT:...Of course..if given the choice, I'll take this over any other donut...

Honey Dew is New England only, really nice donuts but I think somewhere in Louisiana or some other state in that region has a donut shop as a claim to fame.

Yeah, they're called New York System Hot Weiners, but they're in Rhode Island which also has the triple murder burger and grilled pizza. Why, because Rhode Island is the home of misfits and always has been. Seriously, misfits left England and created towns, the misfits in the colonies went to Rhode Island.

I definitely want to order a 'triple murder burger' does it come with a side?

My life long ambition is to go to America and get wired into as much stereotypical American food as possible.

Yeah, the sides are on top I think.



But if you want stereotypical American foods you're going to have to go to all 50 states because each state has their own claim to fame.

Chicago style deep-dish vs New York style pizza, cheese curds and frozen custard in Wisconsin, Philly Cheese Steaks, New England Clam Chowder, Virginia Ham, Carolina Style pulled pork and each southern state has its own style of pulled pork really, etc, etc.

Well I wont lie to ya, if you really do that, come prepared. If you just show up and start eatting our trash of deliciousness, your going to regret it. Id say a weekish before, start eatting fried food here and there to help yourself out, and bring some tums or something along those lines. Because your intestines are going to hate you for the shock otherwise


FITZZ - I agree on the doughnut chains, they are just....well like you said bland. The grocery store my wife works at has the best bakery for a good hour around Id say, and they make the best doughnuts Ive ever ate. Thank god lol

That pic you posted only looks kind of tasty.

Either:

1. Put together the meal I invented and try it for yourself.
or
2. do not pass judgments on things you have not experienced.

Its funny you mention "there is so much fail written in that" I would say the same about your 'I have not tried it but I hate it' post.

As a dangerously on-topic update, the IG's office is now admitting that their report stating the DOJ paid $16 for muffins was erroneous. While only a few moments googled why this "story" was untrue, the only real surprise, in my mind, is them ever admitting they were wrong.
