I HATE muffins/cup cakes that come inside little paper thingies. WHY??? First of all, like every normal person, like to eat the top(head) of the muffin followed by the rest. Baking the muffin inside a paper cup does not let me bite the top of the muffin. I have work at taking the paper off and this with one hand AAAGGGHH! Maybe the paper is edible and no one has told me this yet. If it is....that would be one last worry that I would have to deal with.
Another thing, why is it that the Americans call them cup cake?? I have talked to an American or two and I have offered them muffins, they look at me puzzled until I show them what it is, Oh...cup cakes....I think they are the ones to blame for the paper on the muffin.
What about pogos?? If I tell you I want a Pogo you most likely know what it is. Backtracking about 15 years ago when I was young and active; My brother and I took a car trip from Montreal to Mexico. We wanted to do this the "poor man" edition(running out of cash the first day). So we would stop at gas stations and buy junk food; One day we went into a gas shack and asked for 4 pogos (they were cooking in front of us) the gas attended was confused an repeated the question several times. We point them out to the person, he politely "corrected" us: "The are called corn dog". ???????? . When I came back to Canada, went into a restaurant and asked for a corn dog. Guess what? Yeah, had to asked by their "correct" name: Pogos.
This is not my fight, I'm hot blooded Latino that has lived 30+ years in Canada. Plus, I like Americans, maybe because I have travel to the US constantly more then in Canada. I think they are cool despite their Colloquialisms or maybe is Canada who is in the wrong.
What ca you do? Next time I'll make sure to into Taco bell. I think this is a safe bet. :)
