Very few TV shows can cause one to change their eating habits for life, but a Seinfeld episode did exactly that to me, Grumpy Old Man. If you followed my previous blog, Pissed Off in Pittsburgh, you may recall my preoccupation with muffins, and the lack of an acceptable muffin eatery in our fair city. Anyway, ever since the following episode, I find that I always eat muffins using the technique recommended by Elaine Benes. However, I also eat the stump, but only after breaking off the top and eating that first. Just thought you'd like to know.
Episode 155 - the Muffin Tops
Woman: I can't believe somebody pulled the top off of this muffin.
Elaine: That was me. I'm sorry. I don't like the stumps.
Mr Lippman: So you just eat the tops.
Elaine: Oh yeah. It's the best part. It's crunchy, it's explosive, it's where the muffin breaks free of the pan and sort of (makes hand motions) does it's own thing.
