I don't have any particular feelings about white sugar - they all look
alike to me. OTOH, Star Bakery English muffin is the best store bought
EM I ever had. The Costco over here sells a variety pack of 3 for under
7 bucks. What a deal! It has 6 regular muffins and 6 poi muffins and 6
whole wheat. My favorite is the regular and the poi is second. The poi
muffin is made from sour poi and is a curious purple in color. I don't
care for whole wheat muffins. My recommendation is that you pick up this
great product whenever you get the chance.
