As an American there are many words we use here in the United States that have a completely different meaning in Britain. Today I am very interested in learning about words that Brits use differently. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
I'm English, knocking on a bit, and can confirm that 'carry on' or 'carrying on' was definitely a way of alluding to having a 'bit of how's your father' with someone other than your 'trouble and strife' or 'old pot and pan'. I'm sure I've made myself clear.
Huh? We use words differently? No YOU DO! FFS It's our language after all!
However, often I find words I think Americans are using “wrong” is actually how we Brits used the word when we abandoned the colony and left them to their own devices. We subsequently changed the rules without bothering to tell them. ;)
Do you know what "differently" means?
@@nedludd7622 Yes I definitely do, do YOU? Stop being a smart arse and admit that Americans have bastardised the English language.
@@nedludd7622we know what it means. However it is not appropriate for use in this context. Americans are just wrong when they mangle our language
@@monty2005 no…no they’re not mate. Just as someone in Scotland using words differently to someone in London is not “wrong”, nor is a teenager using words differently to their grandparents.
English is and always has been an ever changing language. It’s constantly evolving and adapting and adopting different words and usage. American and British English have evolved separately to such an extent that they even have their own separate dictionaries.
'Carry On' Screaming/Camping/Cleo/Doctor... Sorry, I'll get me coat...
You don't need to! 😊
Carry on camping

pmsl!
I have never called it an american muffin. We usually just call it the type of muffin it is. Such as chocolate muffin, blueberry muffin
If something is "a right carry on" it means it's a complete fiasco.
Yes I agree (Derbys.)
In Glasgow that would mean something was hilarious funny.
The "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters were hardly ever used (if ever) and long forgotten until a pile of them was found in a bookshop in 2000.
One! And they were hardly ever issued at the time.
A single copy was rediscovered in 2000 at Barter Books, a bookshop in Alnwick housed in the old station building.
5:00 Banger= sausage, usually. Or possibly a firework. Old banger = clapped out old car. Absolute banger = a really cool song.
She's a banger ∈ { she's very attractive | she has a lot of sex }
Head banger=heavy metal music
@@Lily_The_Pink972 Or the person, listening to it, or playing it.
Much better explained. I was surprised he started with fireworks, which if I ever called bangers, I don’t now.
@@stephenlee5929no, the person listening to it would be a metal head, emo, mosher, ect
"Banger" is not a generic term for fireworks. It's a specific firework that has no visual effects, but you throw it on the ground and it goes bang.
Carry on can also mean a farce or a mess. "That meeting last night ,what a carry on" . I believe it comes from the British "carry on "series of films ( much missed).
I think the films took the meaning rather than the other way round.
The films took their titles FROM the expression, "What a right carry-on..." (NOT the other way round). 🤔 Just saying... 😊
Realised it was Lawrence and stopped the video. He's gone native and his memories of Britain are too region and class specific.
He's also lived in Amweica too long and thonks we have not changed.
He's gone full septic
It's not even that he clearly never lived in the UK as an adult because he's just so wrong it's hilarious about so many things
I love your expression "he's gone native." Ha ha
He's also a sychophant.
For our American friends, that is not an unwell pachyderm!
Bangers and mash with onion gravy is lovely
Agree!
onion gravy with anything is lovely lol
All fireworks are not called 'bangers' just a small one that goes 'bang'!!! The others have their own names like rockets, roman candles, sparklers, catherine wheels, etc..
And all sausages are not bangers as well
im convinced that tyler is a MEME.
nope he's just very good at acting... he's playing you all for views very clever guy
There's a British joke about the English language....
'There's two versions of the English language, the British way and the wrong way!'
The 'Keep Calm and Carry On' poster was printed by HMSO (the Government Stationery Office until the 70's) but never issued, only discovered after WWII. The brown envelope with HMSO along the top front landing on the doormat was a feared letter as often had a Tax demand inside.
Don't McDonalds in USA offer a sausage and egg or bacon and egg McMuffin for breakfast? That's a muffin. The blueberry or choc chip thing is a cake!
Yes, but they use a English muffin aka which is close to a British crumpet.
Idk where you're from but muffin and cake are different in the UK, and noone calls English muffins just "muffin", it'd be breakfast muffin, or simply English muffin - the cake type thing, which has a different recipe and is therefore not a cupcake, is just a chocolate chip muffin, or a blueberry muffin
@@robyntheslytherin I'm in the UK and I call the thing which you toast for breakfast (or any other time) simply a muffin. I think you'll find that's what Sainsburys calls them as well.
@@grahamtruckel that's likely the only place they don't call them Toaster muffins or English muffins. And Sainsbury's also call the cakey type ones "muffins"
We don’t call them American muffins. We call them cupcakes even if they’re not iced.
I grew up in the 50s and 60s calling them buns and if iced, fairy cakes!
cupcake was an Americanism when I first heard it on the Simpsons in the early 1990s, fairy cakes were the closest we had, even if they were smaller. When they introduced American sized cakes for fatties they were called American muffins on the labels.
Interesting so maybe it’s a regional difference. I live close to London and I’ve always called them American muffin or blueberry/chocolate muffin. I bake and it’s a completely different recipe. Muffins are denser as they have a higher ratio of flour and normally no icing. A cupcake is sweeter and much closer in texture to our fairy cake (but much larger!) they are also normally iced with way too much buttercream frosting!
Hmmm - I'd never call them cupcakes; I'd call them muffins - but would say American muffin if I wanted/needed to differentiate from a proper muffin.
Bangers and mash - a favourite with many Brits. My kids love it. We have it once a week. You can have the sausages lying next to the mash on the plate, in an orderly fashion, or you can have a big heap of mash in the middle of your plate with the bangers poking out of it in all directions, like in the kids comic book The Beano.
Fun fact: I had my Firefox youtube window only at 90% size and when I loaded this video, it said "Tyler Rump" and I laughed xD
What we call a muffin is like a blueberry muffin etc, I've never heard it called an american muffin in my life. When we say carry on it means continue doing something. These references are very obscure. Also we don't call fireworks bangers lol, methinks Laurence is running out of ideas
Like why the fuck would it be American muffin when Europe had been baking for centuries. America didn't invent shit hahahaha apple pie is British FFS
Carry on means like a chew on, like "works been a right carry on today ", or you can use it to tell someone to stop Messing about, like "stop carrying on"
The one that is common in Britain and many other countries around he the world is 'Hockey'. The other one is Ice Hockey.
We use our language.
Americans use different words.
not to be that guy, but we don't use our language we use a french language thats evolved ...... you think of all the words fibre etc re is a french thing
LOL Fanny in USA is about two to three inches out from what we call a Fanny in the Uk! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Modern field hockey was invented in England, but a similar game originated in Persia several hundred years before. Ice hockey was invented later. They are both related to a game called lacrosse.
There's always similarities between inventions. Unless you're Chinese, who invented _everything_ .
Irish Hurling came literally thousands of years before. We have records of hurling being played going back a long long time.
He didn't mention another meaning to carry on. It can also mean a bit of a farce or a shambles. I. E. What a carry on this is.
Whatever we call something is what it is actually called. If you say anything different it's something you've made up in the past 200 years.
You mean something like "soccer"? That is an English word which described what they changed to "football" about 150 years ago.
@@nedludd7622 Not really. Soccer is just an informal term to differentiate between 'rugby football' and 'association football'.
Exactly
_"No representation without taxation."_ What England says, goes, as far as English is concerned.
What about Fall?. The old British word for Autumn, they still use it, we changed it.
Average American? Nope, make that below average.
No, 'cup cakes' are a another American term. Your muffins are still just called muffins over here (You don't see them called 'American Muffins" over here, generally. We can cope with different things having the same name (see mince pies).
If you ever try to cook bangers and mash - don't forget the onion gravy!
Gravy on mash? You philistine! It's butter on mash. Fried onions in the mash sometimes.
@@neuralwarp Butter on mash, yes, but also gravy when it's sausage and mash!
@@neuralwarpeww are you American. Gravy covers everything. Americans eating sad boiled vegetables without gravy or curry gives me nightmares.
@@neuralwarpnah, beef gravy on sausage and mash like
In most of the ENGLISH-speaking world, carrying on can also mean having a hissy fit. 😮 Also, "field hockey" is the most popular version worldwide, eg. In Australia, UK, NZ, Netherlands, India, Pakistan, Argentina, Germany....
Remember, G. B. Shaw said that Americans and Brits are two nations divided by a common language.
A 'banger' firework is one that is lit, fizzes for a few seconds and then explodes 'BANG'. We also play Ice Hockey. We have American muffins in the UK and yes we would call them cakes as they are so sweet, The so-called "English Muffin" is a traditional food (a style of bread) made for many years, so the proper name is simply a 'muffin', the US version is just a type of cupcake and of course for American tastes it has to bereally sweet. The real muffin recipe was first written in a recipe book in 1747 but had been baked by housewives for much longer than that, they were sold warm and buttered as street food by 'muffin men'. Well before the US Constitution was adopted in 1789. We do have American Muffins and very nice they are occasionally.
Interestingly, Muffin' also has a darker meaning and was used to describe a certain female part of the anatomy which resides between the legs. We also had a children's puppet programme on TV in the 1950s and 60s concerning a Mule called Muffin, as we grew older the joke became "Muffin the Mule is not illegal" obviously referring to it's darker meaning.
Keep calm
and carry on… as normal 😉
Can confirm as a uk person we call English muffins, English muffins, or breakfast muffins - and we call those cupcake type things, just muffins
I've never heard it called an American muffin - just a muffin. You chose which kind of muffin you want - one of those - or one of those - both called muffins!
He knows. America has had the mcmuffin for over 50 years, that's not a sweet muffin. He just does this because it's guaranteed to get replies, thus upping his view count. It's all about the 💲
@@pjdunnit6753 I'd forgotten about the McMuffin. Perhaps he had too. At least your comment has added to his $!!!
In Australia i played hockey at school, 2 different versions... Field hockey and indoor hockey, indoor hockey is similar to ice hockey but it is played on wooden floors with a puck...
As a Film Buff/Nerd? "Carry On --------" is a very long series of often crass film comedies starting with "Carry On Sergeant" (late 40s early 50s? ) and continuing into the 70s (with a later revival)
I've been taught by my British grandmother and British chefs that banger was slang for pork sausage as in bangers and mash
The Muffins one do seem strange to me. As I grew up calling what he calls muffins, English muffins (often cooked on a griddle) the the yeast doughy savoury versions (what Macdonald's uses for their breakfast sandwiches). Different from the other yummy savoury treat the crumpet (similar shape and size but filled with holes) the great conveyor of butter and cheese.
Then you have sweet cakey muffins. These are big brothers of cup cakes. But muffins are more likely to have added extras such as chocolate, fruit or even some types of vegetable varieties of them (chocolate chip blueberry, carrot cake etc). Cup cakes are the tiny bite size ever so dainty cakes that most often simply made of vanilla or chocolate cake then topped with iced. You also have the fancy versions butterfly cakes which have the tops cut off, halved and stuck back onto the cupcake with buttercream icing so the halved top looks a little bit like a butterfly (kind of).
We used to call them fairy cakes not cupcakes
@@lindastaines8288 Yeah I remember that. Now that you say that I think that's what I grew up calling them. The problem comes where you hear things being called so many different things it's sometimes hard to remember which version you grew up with.
@@Loulizabethcup cakes are bigger fairy cakes and usually have alot of icing x
@@Loulizabeth true and so many American terms are creeping into common usage
Tyler I would stop listening to this guy tbh he's more American than British in my opinion dont agree on alot of his vids
Exactly he lived their way to long when he something about our fridge freezers he think we only have a single freezer that gassed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I was a youngster we were allowed to save up our money and go to a shop and buy fireworks (not anymore). All we were interested in were penny 'bangers' and or if we were 'flush' tuppenny 'cannons' that were more explosive and louder!
A banger is, of course, also a sausage. An 'old banger' was a rubbish car that was bought very cheaply to tide you over when you could not afford anything better.
Don't forget the Catherine wheel that was my favourite ❤
@@user-xk3ej6jd5h Not of interest to 10-year old boys with only limited pocket money!
This 'Lost in the Pond' guy has literally forgotten half of the words, never heard the word "American muffin" in my life and have never heard an English person say "carry on" as a synonym for affair 😐😐
I've heard carrying on as in 'he's carrying on with someone else's wife' It also means a fuss or fiasco. Then we have a 'to-do', which means the same. And ding dong!
American muffin was used on large pre-packaged fairy cakes in the 90s and early 00s in places Tesco, Sainsburys, teashops etc.
@@kevintipcorn6787 I think I first saw them when a chain of bakery/cafes called BBs opened up. Probably late 90s early 00s.
Carry on as a euphemism for affair is very widespread and well known. Never heard of the Carry On films?, what do you think the carry on part was referring to?. Also, do you only converse with English people or are you just one of those folk who pigheadedly say English when you mean British!?.
@@Lily_The_Pink972 Yes me too. (Derbys.)
A bit funny that I as a non native English speaker knew almost all of this
We also have a whole series of comedy films in Britain that are collectively known as "Carry On films," because all of their titles begin with the words, carry on...! For example, Carry on Nurse, Carry on Teacher, Carry on Camping, etc. They are all stuffed with innuendo and double-entendres, and feature exaggerated stereotypes of camp men and really big, dominant women - not to mention a young Barbara Windsor's bust...! Most of the actors are now dead, but were very popular indeed and often featured in TV sit-coms from the 1960s and 70s.
Keep calm and carry on was actually never used I the war, because the government decided it was too condescending.
Which is why it was fine to bring back for the modern, moronic sheep
Hockey. What you called "Field Hockey", Great Britain was Olympic mens Gold Medalists in 1920 and 1988 and the Women were Gold Medalists in 2016.
"Ice Hockey" was pretty big in Britain between the Wars an Britain won Gold at the 1936 Winter Olympics.
My parents were both born around the end of WW1 and in their teens and early twenties, would go to watch "Wembley Lions" playing Ice Hockey, until WW2 came along! The league collapsed in 1960.
Watch ,listen, and understand
From Laurence, that dude doesn't have a clue what he's on about.
The thing that most annoys me is that he didn’t cover biscuit (and gravy despite the 2 NOT going together), because there is a big difference between what Americans think a biscuit (and what gravy is) and what a biscuit (and what gravy) actually are
Also best example of something being homely I can think of is a good pub (in England, haven’t been to America so don’t know the equivalent there if they are there at all)
You realise Americans have beef gravy too right?👀💀
Gravy there is still a general thing, like we have chicken gravy, beef gravy, they do too, they just also have white gravy, which is basically bechamel sauce with pork fat 🤮
Banger. Sausages because unless you prick them (with a fork) they will probably go "pop" like a small explosion. Also an old car, cos the exhaust can backfire. like a larger explosion.
I’m English and in my late fifties and played hockey at school on a field, I never knew boys played it, it was considered a girls sport at my school!
We call cupcakes, pattycakes in aus. The papers are patty papers, they come in that shape. Have you seen butterfly cakes? We have english muffins too, and the 4x bigger muffins are muffins, like yours. The english use gingerbread slices, or a plain piece of pastry, covered in a loose ginger concoction. In aus gingerbread is a ginger flavoured cake, either sliced and buttered if you like, or cut into squares. It can be iced with lemon icing or not.
In aus, a homely woman is a plain faced person, in plain clothes, shy, not beautiful, but not really ugly either. Everybody has value, not just for their looks. A plain person can have a brilliant brain, loves and can be hurt, just like you. Are geeks all handsome? Do you have to be beautiful to write hit songs? Have the best hair? NO! All sorts of jobs need to be done to keep the community running. If we look down on garbologists, or sewer workers, or home makers, say lets not have such lowly folk, the system would quickly break down completely. Somebody "has" to do it! Everybody is valuable. Would families survive without farmers to grow food? What about college students? Where does your daily bread come from, the bacon and eggs, peanut butter and jelly etc.? Would white folk even live in America without immigration, and you very nearly had to speak german, would Mexicans speak Spanish? Bullying and racism are the fall-back of not-so-bright folk. Think about it!
Carry On Luggage with Sid James, Kenneth Williams and Barbara Windsor
😂😂😂 👌 👍👍👍
We do not say English or, American Muffins, we just say "two Blueberry Muffins please", they come in many varieties. Our other muffins are bread items.
I am surprised he didn't mention the iconic "Carry On" films, typical British humour of the past.
We use muffin here to mean both what you call an English muffin and a muffin but we usually make the distinction by saying what it is, i.e. blueberry muffin, chocolate chip muffin etc. Sausage and egg McMuffins are my favourite item on the McDonald’s UK menu 😊
The muffins you showed are cake. The "wrapping paper" as you called it is what it it is baked in and that is called a cupcake case..because that sweet style of muffin is a big cupcake and a very unhealthy breakfast indeed!
We call them baking cups in Canada
Not at all, they're blueberry muffins or chocolate chip muffins, cake has a totally different recipe and doesn't usually have the poofy head
What you would call a muffin, we call it a bun.
When I was young hockey was played primarily by girls.
17:51 we used to call “American muffins” cupcakes, but the popularity of brands like Starbucks and similar who brought the bigger, more over the top American style over here has led to muffin being used just about as much - but we still also have cupcakes which are the more sensible sized little cakes. So we have both and could point to things and call them different names depending on size / style etc. So now it’s Americans who lack a word for “cupcakes”
Cupcake is an American word... We use it here to mean a larger cake, a smaller one would be called a "fairy cake"
@@robyntheslytherin interesting - Fairy cake to me is specifically a cup cake that has had the top cut off, filled with butter icing, then the top cut in half and put back to form two “wings”, making it a fairy cake. :)
Goldfish, bangers and mash isn’t new to you.
Hilarious...not
Boring and rude.
@@margaretnicol3423 userkq5 is a serial troll (At least 5 nasty pointless comments on this vid) who is cross because Tyler ignores him ,, I think he is in love with Tyler because only unrequited love turns someone into that much of a twat,
Nor are English muffins.
@@margaretnicol3423It would be rude if Tyler had ever engaged with his comments, also, what's rude about pointing out he's learnt these terms at least 20 times already?. Not the commentors fault your memory sucks as much as Tyler's
In terms of fireworks, if you've seen firecrackers, bangers are one of those tubes containing the powder in isolation.
Yes muffins exist in the UK, they're a bit more bready than cakes. Unfrosted cupcakes are often called 'fairy cakes'. We do accept that if someone says "chocolate chip muffin" they mean the American variety.
Frosting is an Americanism, I would call the thing you put on top of a cake icing, never frosting
@@Spiklething I am aware, but I was using the term because I didn't want to risk going down a rabbit hole and Tyler uses the term in the video so it was fresh in my mind.
Now be honest, have you heard Muffin the Mule complaining ?
There's also Street Hockey 11:34
Tyler..I really like you, BUT I grew up in the US and lived there for most of my life before I decided retire to my birth country of Canada. Igrewupon the East Coast,and English muffns are VERY COMMON here.
Bangers and mash is amazing.
i'm Scottish, and where i'm from we'd call what you call a muffin, a bun.
I thought " carry on " was another way of saying messing with or joking about.
'I'm only *carrying on* with you'
Honestly, I'm British and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "carry on" to refer to an affair. It's usually used to say something along the lines of "keep going" or "continue"
Same, I always knew the word “Carry on” to mean keep going or to persevere with something not an affair
Sometimes, although not in the sexual context, we can say things like "That was a right carry on" for something out of control, not going as planned. Or more simply "what a carry on!" (Derbys.)
I have always used. 'carry on ' to mean have an affair.
You're probably too young to have used it. Very common in the 60s and perhaps 70s. I would probably still use it with people my age. Not that we carry on much these days 🤣🤣
Yes I have heard it but it's old fashioned, so and so is carrying on with him/her
What he showed us, I would call a muffin, as do most supermarkets. Never seen them referred to as American muffins. The other type, I don't eat. Cupcake is American, they were always fairy cakes when I was a kid. If the top was cut off, split and stuck in butter icing on the top, it was a butterfly cake/ UK for years only had icing or butter icing, we never had frosting, that is also American.
The poster Keep care and Carry on,was a post which was printed but no used in WW2,It was to be posted if the Germans invaded.
I think the origin of the different words and phrases is that the people who took the language across were illiterate. I couldn’t find any papers on it though and just one article saying this.
Words like fawcett, diaper and drapes are English words that were in use when the Pilgrim Fathers settled in America and their language developed differently there than it did in the UK. British English has been subject to many different influences in the last 500 years or so than the US so words still in use in the US have gone out of use here in the UK.
When I was a kid in postwar Britain we didn't have what Tyler calls a muffin. We had small bitesize cakes called buns or fairy cakes. The 'wrapping paper' is a bun case. I don't think I saw an American muffin or cupcake in the UK until about 25 years ago.
@@Lily_The_Pink972 yeah, plus with how much influence on the media America has has during and since WWII after it earned so much money selling weapons to Britain and Germany that the lines have blurred.

*Faucet* (tap)
(Fawcett was Farah Fawcett Majors, the late actress from "Charlie's Angels")
"Carry On" is also known in the UK s the name of a 1960s series of comedy films, which were pretty much to the UK what the Three Stooges movies were to the US. PS - were you deliberately wearing the same shirt as the guy on the video? US-style muffins are called cupcakes in the UK, and "English muffins" are called muffins in England. Scottish (and New Zealand) pikelets are also similar to "English" muffins.
We have it here in our British Pubs….I rotate from Bangers @nd Mash or the Fish and Chips….YUM 🇨🇦
This guy from the North of England has many many posts about how different the US and UK are I believe he often loses the plot in the process. Carry on in UK can mean bags you bringing with you into the Cabin. Hand Luggage and Carry on are a bit dated it should be called wheel on. Carry on as per the poster means continue and is a bit archaic. Carry on and carrying on can also mean someone making a fuss over nothing or doing things that are not needed to do the task at hand. What is all that carry on in the street? They are arguing over which car caused the accident. She has been carrying on with a married man in secret.
"Carry on" is also used as in "What are you carrying on about?" meaning what are you complaining about.
To learn more about the British political system, you should watch the TV series "Yes, Minister". There is an episode where they talk about the banger(sausage). It is described as an "emulsified high-fat offal tube" with these characteristics "The average British sausage consists of 32.5% fat, 6.5% rind, 20% water, 10% rusk, 5% seasoning, preservative and colouring, and only 26% meat, which is mostly gristle, head meat, other offcuts and mechanically-recovered meat steamed off the carcasses."
It is surprising that you don't know another American use of "banger" which means a member of a criminal gang: "There was a fight between gang bangers."
Don't presume Tyler EVER reads his comments. He's here just for the money.
An American muffin is definitely a cake! Very unhealthy breakfast. Our muffins date back centuries and were the originals. There's even an old song about them..
American mcmuffin. Over 50 years old. He knows what an English muffin is.
@@pjdunnit6753bro an English muffin in America is a shitty scone.

We have in recent years imported Muffins to the uk but they are just Muffins, you look at them and immediately know that one is not the other (as long as you are not shopping on line !)
This video reminded me of the old 80s cartoon theme song for Bangers and Mash by Chas and Dave. Somehow I'd forgotten it for the past 3 decades.
English muffins are an American invention loosely based on a British oven bottom muffin. We got English muffins from the USA not the other way around.
Muffins are muffins. The blueberry type are cakes.
I have never heard this term ,i agree a carry on, for plane,other than that, to me in 🏴, it means to keep going to carry on with life, get on with it ect...
Yes the savoury flat muffin is called an English muffin, but the sweet version with choc chips or blueberries is also called a muffin
I’m shocked that you used the word “epiphany” - and that you used it correctly.
This guy has a bad crush on Tyler and is angry he won't respond, are you in love , unrequited love hurts eh mate
Why is it that when I hear "Bangers and Mash" I always immediately think " Ministroni" or "Macaroni"? 😁 Rhetorical question.

I'm British and live in Wales. The muffins you call muffins, we also call muffins. I never never heard of an American muffin or an English muffin, they are just muffins.
He's wrong. English muffins originated in New York by that Englishman. A muffin is a cake.
Wales, like a thousand years ago actually.
Im from the UK born in 1992 and I call American muffins "muffins" and English muffins "English muffins" if someone said muffins in UK they would think of American muffins. Also never heard of carry on as meaning an affair. I think this is very outdated.
Gee the way you're talking about your version of how the English muffin got it's name sounds like how Canadian bacon got it's name
American muffins aren't called that in the UK, it's more likely to be called a plain cupcake or fairy cake cause it doesn't have frosting on top, so I don't know what Lawrence is talking about, I've never called them American muffins.
I call it a muffin, cupcakes have icing and tend to be sweeter and even if it is a blueberry/chocolate muffin if it doesn't have icing it is a muffin, not a cupcake and cupcakes are more like fairy cakes, muffins are denser
