How would you order an english muffin in an english restraunt or something? Would you just say you wanted a muffin? But then what about a regular muffin? Because liek we don't say we want an American muffin when we just want a regular muffin. It's one of those things that just ...bother you. Help

You probably wouldn't be able to at some places. Muffins aren't usually as popular as in US. I'm from UK & a muffin to me is basically like a fairy cake, but with choc chip or dried fruit etc in. A bit like a cup cake but without the topping.
It can also be something more along the lines of bread here too. But not usually what we think of first if you say muffin. I have seen muffins like I think you mean in supermarkets/grocery stores- they contain semolina, I think they are what you mean. They are just called muffins & are usually around the bakery section, somewhere amongst- bread, pita, bagels, crumpets, croissants, scones, waffles, hot cross buns, if the store sells them. They come in several flavours, sweet & savoury, but demand is not that high over here for bread type muffins. You are much more likely to see many different types of cake muffin, than bread type.
A muffin like you mean may also be obtained from some coffee shops/ fast food places etc. For example a breakfast muffin- Which looks like a burger bun, with egg and such like for filling. But I guess it uses the ingredients of a muffin like you mean. Or some posh places may even serve bread type muffins like you mean. It depends upon a shops clientele, if the demand was there, they would offer it. It could be a bit confusing for some who may think it will be a cake muffin though.

As the English don't have anything like our English Muffins, you may want to try one of their muffins or scones, they are different, however, just as tasty as our "English Muffin". You know what they say....When in Rome

Ask the waiter what is appropriate. If they have a lot of American tourist they should know what you mean. Otherwise, when in Rome...............and all that. Really if you're going to visit other countries what is the use if you're not going to immerse yourself in their culture?
