Seems pretty basic to me and only good if you butter them.

Please don't ascribe preference to other cultures. I'm british, and I had to google what you even meant by that. It's a breakfast muffin, and they're okay. I have one from time to time, no complaints, but I tend to order a breakfast wrap from McDonalds instead of a McMuffin.

The fact that it's not a traditional part of a full English should tell you something.

"It's ok" is the most accurate description possible I think.

Disclaimer: I'm not British (hello from the other side of the north sea), but I've spent enough time all over the UK to have eaten them.

I'd put it in the category of foods that some in a region probably enjoy, while being hard to find elsewhere. Like the deep fried Mars bar and cornish pasty: "It's OK"

You take that back about cornish pasties! I don't live in Cornwall anymore and that's the one thing I miss the most from there food wise. I can get them where I am now but they are not the same.

I'm not taking it back. It is my firm opinion that they're OK. I was just never very fond of meat + pastry/batter. I can see why some like them, but that combo was never part of my diet growing up, and as such, it ends up in the same category as Pie or Beef Wellington for me.

Sometime in the last 5-10 years, McD's changed their English muffins. They used to be good, now they have a weird, too fluffy texture even if you get then extra toasted.
