        Pretend you want both, what sentence would you tell someone going to shop for you to express that?

          “Muffins” would be English muffins. For the other kind, we would specify flavour if we’re asking someone to buy it for us. So I might say “Can you get muffins and also chocolate muffins please?”

            I feel as though bringing you a bran muffin and a chocolate muffin would fulfill that and you would be out your “muffin” muffin. You guys should start calling them separate things.

              Maybe in America, but if you brought me a bran muffin when I asked for a muffin, you’d be in the wrong here. That’s just how it is shrugs
