That looks a decent piece of Salmon. I find the supermarket frozen salmon is usually about a quarter of an inch thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the supermarket frozen salmon is usually about a quarter of an inch thick. Lidl do the economy salmon deals which are the thinner end cuts but they also do some great cuts, some also infused with quality marinades. Bought many on their 30% reduction deals, ideal for the freezer. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiFlyer Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) English Muffins vs American English Muffins vs English Crumpets A very generalized food purchase question here. I am an American. Back in the states I liked having some Thomas English Muffins on hand. I really liked the taste and the craggy tops were great for spreading jam, honey, or whatever. https://thomasbreads.com/products/english-muffins Here in Thailand that product is not available, but I did notice an English Muffin product available on Lazada. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/4-english-muffins-i3013319782-s11079243263.html?exlaz=d_1:mm_150050845_51350205_2010350205::12:17557799160!!!!!c!!11079243263!264278322&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7Kfy-KCD-gIVfp1LBR2ImADPEAQYAiABEgKhB_D_BwE I have bought these a few times and the taste is similar, but lacks the craggy top. I have done some internet searches on this topic, and noticed that crumpets do have the craggy top, but the recipe is different (I suspect that affects the taste) and for some reason they are only cooked on one side at tea time. Any comments? Edited September 7, 2022 by ChiFlyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any comments? Muffins in U.K. are normally small flavoured cakes - Blueberry or Chocolate Chip are popular Crumpets are usually toasted and served with butter and a hot beverage, not really a breakfast thing though ....I don't think they are really popular though , it was probably over a decade or so that I last had one .. pretty sure they are still sold in supermarkets Edit the only breakfast muffin I have had is the McDonalds one , but don't think it's a British thing outside of the franchise ... we do have rolls ( Rolls, barms , cobs , baps , buns and many other names for the same thing ) for breakfast , but these are normally for savoury things - sausages , bacon , egg for jams , honey or marmalade we just normally have toasted bread .. although many might disagree with everything I have posted depending on which region in the U.K. they are from ... 😉 Edited September 7, 2022 by Stillearly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out West had it all the time, fave was pho bo vin, beef balls. Everyone wants to make a buck, but I’ve always found Viet owners and their dishes to be really cheap. In one hood in Calgary, there was a nice lady with implants, all she did was banh mi, in 2020 still didn’t accept card payment…..had a gold mine, all cash. Those sandwiches were amazing, I truly believe once someone has one, they will never eat Subway again! Damn, now I want some Vietnamese cuisine , but there’s no one close by…… Edited September 8, 2022 by Golfingboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
