Indeed, often in the South biscuts have a very soft, fluffy interior, especially when warm.

American biscuits are like savoury scones.

I wish there was some way to convey texture via the internet.

Sounds like a bun.

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

They are more crumby rather than fluffy like a bun/bap/breadcake/roll.

The most I've ever paid is $3.

For a dozen. It's awesome having friends who bake.

There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.

Does it count as 'fast food' if it's from a mom and pop eatery, and not a national chain?

Ive spent a whole 2 bucks on a muffin once, it was huge and I was told it was damn tasty. It was worth every bit of that 2 bucks....I probably would pay 3 or 4 for it now that I know how yummy it was

So 4 years ago, factoring in inflation, youd pay $10.55 cents now? Damn....you can send me the money you want to waste

For the Western inclined regarding muffin differentiation:

There's an easy way to know what an English muffin is. The types of buns that McDonalds breakfast patties come in: those are English muffins.

Was it premium chips or something?


They were somewhat premium, and they were an English brand, irritatingly. They we're four and a half quids worth of bloody premium though. To put it in context, the most I've seen them sold for in the UK was 70p.
