I'm British, and if you offered most British people "a muffin" they would assume you meant the American style sugar and oil affair. Some people do enjoy an "English muffin" but they're not very popular, much less loved than crumpets, which themselves are probably below scones. The main use I see of them is as the base of Eggs Benedict, which works because they are basic and go well with butter. A white chocolate & blueberry muffin is a much more controversial paring for poached eggs and hollandaise.
Scones 👍
Did you pronounce that as 'scone' or 'scone'?
I pronounce it scone , like in duck

Wait wait wait...hold on. Canadian here. I thought English Muffins and Crumpets were the same thing with different names...
Nah, an English muffin is basically a bread product - you shape them and leave to rise, but a crumpet is more like a fancy pancake - it's a batter poured into a ring on a hot pan, and has baking powder as well yeast (which gives it the trademark holes). But maybe that's just in Britain? Maybe you chaps have different crumpets?
