Growing up Seinfeld was one of my favorite shows. I would watch it all the time. One thing that I learned from that show that I have totally come to appreciate is muffin tops. It by far is the best part of the muffin. I was just eating a Poppy Seed muffin this morning and was sad once I got done eating the top. Do I even keep eating the dry bottom of the muffin? Nope. Couldn't do it. But the top was amazing!
Now over the years since I saw the "Muffin Tops" episode of Seinfeld (Season 8, Episode 21) I have seen some companies try to market the muffin tops. They just don't taste the same.
These 2 quotes from that Seinfeld episode totally explain the whole thing:
1. "What ya gotta do is bake the whole muffin then 'break off' the stump and discard".
2. "It's crunchy, it's explosive, it's where the muffin breaks free of the pan and sort of does its own thing."
So you can buy the ones at the stores, but they just aren't the same. Make the muffin, cut off the top, eat and enjoy!
