American version of an "English muffin", which most Americans think should be part of eggs Benedict

What they serve at River Market is a cheese-garlic biscuit, similar to the "Red Lobster" cheese biscuit. It's not a traditional part of either a U.S. eggs Benedict or biscuits and gravy:

To me, the River Market cheese biscuit seems more like a "scone".

So to summarise:- 1) American "English muffin" = British "muffin (you know, the bready kind you split not the cakey sort)" 2) both Americans and Brits expect their eggs benedict to come on an English muffin/muffin 3) Brits need a more concise way to differentiate muffin types and 4) Americans do apalling things to scones.

How to treat a scone -
