Muffins of the English variety

Muffins.  Sweet, warm, soft, fluffy, muffins.  I bet I've now elicited some sort of positive responses from your amygdala and your orbitofrontal cortex.  Now, let me take you into the world of the English muffin...  Chewy, cold, airy, slightly bitter, crusty, flat.  Mmmmmm, right?  ...Uh, no.


So my question is why did the English take a delectable food and turn it into a shoddy version of its self?  Oh, wait, nevermind--these are the people who use vinegar as a condiment.  Now it all makes sense.
