Review 1: This muffin recipe is not my favourite. I made the muffins because the recipe was given five stars out of five. I left the sugar out because quite frankly there is no place for sugar in a savoury recipe. I usually detest garlic but I used it here because of the five stars. It destroyed any redeeming features the recipe might have had. I can still taste it. Yuk! I also omitted the mozzarella cheese. It’s not the type of thing the average household keeps in their fridge so naturally I couldn’t use it, but I replaced it with blue vein that was about to go off, so it was good to find a use for it. An elderly aunt had left the revolting stuff here when she visited last Christmas. All in all, a big disappointment.
Review 2: What a delightful recipe! I left out the flour because my son has an allergy. I also omitted the rosemary and the baking powder, but I added a well-beaten egg white to a packet of marsh mellows and baked it like a meringue. This muffin recipe is so light and airy.
Review 3: Your recipe called for two teaspoons of baking powder. I was out of baking powder at the time so I used baking soda instead and increased the amount to four tablespoons. Does the person who runs this recipe blog ever try the recipes before they are posted? This one would have failed the test. I might as well have had a fizzy drink. It’s pathetic. And to think the recipe has five stars.
Review 4: I began with your recipe, but this recipe website runs so many popup ads. I didn’t realize that another recipe altogether had “popped up” and I used that to make the things. Hubby loved them, although he did wonder why there were so many chicken bones in the muffins.
Review 5: Honestly, we should have been warned. My son came home from school and asked who had been vomiting. It was that Parmesan cheese in the muffins cooking in the oven. It flooded the house with its stench. The whole family refused to even take a nibble. I don’t blame them. The chickens loved them, although I noticed that one or two of them seem to have gone off the lay.
Review 6: Why are people so negative in their comments? When I was brought up my parents demanded respect and courtesy. These days anything goes. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see swearing used in some of the recipes these days. I had an uncle who swore like a trooper but he’s dead now. His wife, my aunt, has since remarried and lives in Anchorage. They have terrible winters in Alaska. I wouldn’t live there if you paid me, and nor would my daughter who is finishing off her degree at university.
Why does this remind me of the flies of the marketplace?

Flies are everywhere. Even though it’s now cold here, I am still spraying the many flies on my window. It’s the cow poo in the field outside…

I most certainly have!!!! And tonight’s savoury muffins (to be had with leek and potato soup – it’s cold autumn over here) with the recipe from Allrecipes were given to the dog.

😀 You tease, but I remember going to make a meal where the reviewer had replaced the meat, spices, and cooking time.

The reviews are always the best part! Thank you for not cluttering them up with a silly recipe. I certainly wouldn’t have followed it if you had.

This story is not my favourite. I was expecting a recipe for a good old-fashioned murder with a devilish twist at the end, you just can’t rely on bloggers these days….

I started out thinking you were actually reviewing a muffin recipe. I know you cook and have opinions about scones…Oh this was so funny! It really is amazing what people will leave out of a recipe and still expect it to turn out all right. Hope the garlic taste goes soon, but maybe the sugar would have helped…

The sugar would have definitely helped! I suppose food is food, but cooking coq au vin with fish and milk is hardly a classic style!
