Beans or Mushy Peas?

[TheMightyQuinn]

Ok ok I admit I once ate a chip.

I've had chippy at least once a week for as long as I can remember.

I see it as my birthright.

Friday night is chippy tea night, every week, forever. It even was when I was seriously into my training.

Thursday or Friday in my case but it's set in stone and always will be. It's one of the best things about being Mancunian!

Ah, that's because you have no space between tea and cake. A tea cake is the marshmallow one, a teacake is the fruity barm cake. Neither would be ideal with fish and chips imo.
Incidentally, if you call those marshmallows, what do you call these?

I'd call them marshmallows.

Ah righto, it's good that you know the score, wish I could say the same for this crowd http://www.tunnock.co.uk/products/teacakes.aspx

You'd best have a word.

I will have a word, Scottish idiots. So what do you do if you ask for a marshmallow and you get given the wrong type?

I kick off, big time.

tbh I can't imagine a situation where I would ever ask for a marshmallow, does anyone actually ever ask for them, they just get offered round occasionally.
However, if I asked for a teacake and recieved one of those chocolate covered efforts I would not be impressed, especially if they toasted and buttered it.

I can remember when waggon wheels first appeared in the school tuck shop (circa 1970) they were a bigger, flatter version of those marshmallows in your first pic, same ingredients I reckon.

No doubt they have changed these days, just like most of the old sweet treats, all taste different.

For the purposes of this ridiculous argument, I ask for marshmallows regularly. But going back to the original point about tea cakes, how would you feel if your missus made you a chip butty with a buttered tea cake?

Argument? Ok, well why would she do that, a butty is made with bread, either one slice folded, or two slices.
If I wanted a chip bap/barm I'd ask for one of them.

Not arguing anyway mate, not in my nature, was just surprised to see them chocolate things being called teacakes, never looked at a packet of them before, so fair play, you are correct.

Surely a chip butty just means chips on bread and can be on a barm (not a bap, that is a breast) or sliced bread?

If that's the way it is in your house then fair enough, in mine (and anywhere else I can recall) a butty is made with bread, as in loaf of, slices.

Baps exist in the world of baking whether you like it or not, they are sold as baps as well as barm cakes.
Fuck it anyway eh, it's all been done to death.





























Baps.

Maybe, I still think a chip butty can be on a barm or sliced bread though.

easy a chip butty is on bread, preferably Warburtons Toastie bread.
or you can indulge in a chip muffin using a muffin preferably straight from the chippy.
