Talk:Cruffin

NPOV dispute [-History]
While citing some media sources indicating that Mr. Holmes Bakehouse popularised the cruffin, it seems overly focused on an article on Mr. Holmes Bakehouse and its operations in San Francisco without providing more information on the cruffin. Furthermore, the article cited did indicate that it originated in 2013, prior to the popularisation of the cruffin by Mr. Holmes Bakehouse. Furthermore, it is debatable as to whether they did popularise it in the first place as there are multiple articles online referencing Lune Croissant as popularising the cruffin in Australia. The article contains multiple issues which do not provide a neutral point of view and is focused on an American viewpoint rather than a worldwide one.

 * Back in the 1980s, Walter Zogar briefly ran a restaurant called "Turgers and Cruffins" in Market Square, Victoria, BC, Canada. It wasn't very successful, and so far the only online sources I've been able to find that refer to it are some old lists of trademark registrations that list the name "Turgers and Cruffins" and nothing more.  I'm not sure what his definition of a "cruffin" was; a "turger" was a burger made with ground turkey and various "gourmet burger" toppings.  Anyway, the first use of the word "cruffin" in commerce was certainly not as late as 2013. 2607:FEA8:12A0:4FF:0:0:0:159D (talk) 02:32, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

I dined at "Turger and Cruffin" in Victoria. I had a "Sloppy Wally", which was named for the owner. It came with a card containing instructions for eating. The hints were appreciated because the dish was unusual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:5D70:C520:55F7:2EC4:EF36:89F7 (talk) 00:00, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Why in God's name is the word 'portmanteau' not used in this article!
I am outraged!
