11.18.02: muffin. petit pain. mollete. focaccina.

So I was watching MuffinFilms, which led to questions.

Answers

He lives here.

Originally eaten by the "downstairs" servants in England's Victorian society, the English muffin surfaced and rose to prominence in Great Britain when members of all classes of society became aware of its goodness. [1]

Quick bread muffins really need to be baked in molds because they are made with a batter rather than a dough. So, what it really comes down to is... who invented the muffin pan? [2]

Muffins in America are 'quick breads' that is, made with no yeast, but leavened with egg and baking powder. English muffins are about 3 inches round and 1 inch high, yeast raised (basically a bread dough) and baked on a griddle. [3]

The blueberry muffin is the official muffin of the state of Minnesota. [4]

When the Jefferson Memorial was finished, it was ridiculed as "Jefferson's muffin." [5, hey wow it does look like a muffin]

That was painfully unfunny...

Oh pah, the muffinfilms are great. And they inspired the acquisition of knowledge, which is always good.
