English muffins are not English? What a fraud!
All these years I thought I was eating a piece of the white Albion
What about "English mint"? They sell "English mint" flavored candy.
Even the TV advertisement features a guy with a dark suite, bowler hat, and an umbrella

Maybe it is a mistranslation. The label is in Spanish because, although this things are made in USA, they are sold in Mexico. The label reads "Panecillos estilo inglés" (literally "Small English-type bread"). I translated the word "panecillos" as "biscuits" because they are soft and sweet, not unlike a sweet bread we call "bisquets", which is a Hispanization of the word "biscuits".
The things added are cranberries, raisins, and almonds.
