Musings on English Muffins

So simple, so easy. I find myself buying English Muffins these days to feed troops of hungry teen age boys. Like locusts, they fly through the kitchen. What was, only hours ago, a well stocked kitchen turns into a sad Mother Hubbard-bare cupboard.
But English Muffins, so easy, so cheap, they might even have some nutritional value.
And what other food can one think of that is perforated? You split them with a fork.
