I don't have a clue what this thread is about. Can someone translate it please for those of us who aren't from Manchester.

It's basically an argument about what you call these


Some strange folk call them barms when the correct term is muffin.

Hope that clears it up ;-)

Thanks. If they're bread rolls, we ask for a chip cob here in Derbyshire. I thought a muffin was a small cake you buy in Costa.

You’d be correct with your muffin comments.

I think you should stick to worrying sheep rather than get involved with the fineries of baked dough products. :)

Roll or bap? Britain's favourite term for its lunchtime loaf revealed

Researchers from Lancaster, York and New York universities have collated terms for a bread roll in Britain to discover where each one originated, as part of a study on dialects.

Doesnt conclusively confirm it as a barm, but is telling that muffin supporters are roping in country folk to back up their argument

A softie is a different type of roll from a morning roll. Then there’s a floured roll and well fired roll (Burned).

Early cakes in England were also essentially bread: the most obvious differences between a "cake" and "bread" were the round, flat shape of the cakes, and the cooking method, which turned cakes over once while cooking, while bread was left upright throughout the baking process.[5]
