Muffin The Mule or It's That BA Humbug Time of Year

Has the world gone mad? Apparently British Airways have suspended a steward for eating a discarded muffin. According to a fellow worker "The cabin crew member on a long-haul flight took a muffin destined for the bin." According to news reports BA are treating the incident as theft after he was reported at Heathrow airport on Monday. The man's colleagues are furious with the decision, branding the airline 'heavy handed' and accused them of acting like a 'police state'.

Update

Already requests are flooding in from around the globe asking what kind of muffin it was. After extensive research we think it maybe this kind of muffin.
