I think this looks like the best muffin in the world. My mother thinks it would look better with a troll sitting atop it.
Ian-in-Japan told me to eat a muffin, so I did. It is very easy to convince me to go eat a muffin.
I ate this particular muffin yesterday, after a dental appointment in which my dentist was not Steve Martin.
But: is a Cheesecake Factory Pumpkin Spice Muffin sold at a Starbuck’s inside a Barnes and Noble really the best muffin in the world? No. The best muffin in the world would be one of the following:
- Truly the Best Blueberry Muffins Ever
- Fat-Free Pumpkin Bran Muffins
- Nutella-filled Banana Muffins
- Best Blueberry Muffin in the World!!
- The Best Corn Muffin in the World
- The Best Rasberry Yogurt Muffins in the World
- World’s Best Blueberry Muffin
Look’s like blueberry’s the winner. Must be the alliteration.
AIMEE, in an article titled “How to Make the Best Muffins Ever” says “the true sign of a good muffin is that it elicits a reaction.” I reacted by pulling out my camera and quickly-and-discretely snapping a picture. AIMEE’s suggested reactions are “a sigh, a pause, or maybe closer inspection followed by a question or comment–usually made with a full mouth.” The closest people to me were a young lady with a pierced eyebrow typing on a laptop and a middle-aged lady intently holding the hands of a man in a red-and-black striped polo shirt. I am trying to imagine their reactions had I turned to face them and, with a mouth spraying muffin crumbs and pumpkin seeds, announced, “This muffin is truly superb!”
Curious, I also investigated the worst muffins in the world.
- Worst: Blueberry Muffin (390 calories, 9 g saturated fat, 5 g protein, 57 g…)
- World’s Worst Apple Muffin and Squirrel
- As well as three quotes from Love, Actually that somehow managed to contain all my search terms ( Prime Minister: Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I
think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. …. Daniel: Well, because I
thought it would be something worse. ….. Colin: Beautiful muffin for a beautiful
lady…)
