the best eggs Benedict I ever had

[Kathiejs]

I thought an American 'biscuit' was a scone? Eggs benedict should come on a muffin, not a scone! I'd rather have them on toasted white roll than on a scone I think.

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

English Muffin: Eggs Benedict:

Biscuit: Biscuits and gravy:

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".

[Kathiejs]

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.

Hmm..... has the OP enjoyed brunch at Brennan's in New Orleans with eggs Benedict and champagne? That's the standard to beat.

Don't forget to finish off the meal with their Bananas Foster!!!!!
