Brown or Red sauce

I only really heard of barms when I went to work as a missionary in Yorkshire. I agree that the blueberry muffin is a ridiculous yuppie concept. Real oven bottom muffins are the issue here.


PMSL!

Tommy, now I know you trying to add credence to your incorrect claims.

A yorkshireman will tell you that they refer to their bread accompaniment as 'TEA CAKE'

Every chippy this side of Marsden will say chip tea cake - spent three years of my life in Huddersfield and Leeds

I wouldn't expect anything less of a Yorkshire saddo - although they do make the best mushy peas in the world.

Although that 'pea wet' and 'scraps' thing is just downright wrong.

Tea cake, just like muffin, a breakfast dish.

I'm now off to get a chip barm for my lunch - plenty of salt and vinegar, allow the vinegar to actually soak through the base, though.

This is the key, where it reacts with the steam of the chips and the bread above.
 
Southerners love the word Barm Cake. They seem to associate it with cloth caps, whippets, tripe and cowheels and pints of mild.

the only part of manchester area i know of that use the word muffin all the time is up fucking ashton, stalybridge, dukinfield area, in other words yonner- ville!!


Well said wrongun.

And what do they all have in common, AREAS NOT FROM MANCHESTER.

I mean, bloody hell, (sorry sound like Baconface there) people from Stalybridge still class themselves as Cheshire!

Believe me, chaps, it aint Cheshire!

Brown sauce is the most vile susbstance ever created!!

Ketchup all the way

I like this.

Red is best (i know that sounds so wrong on a blue forum but er well balls to it)


Heinz tomato ketchup rules
 
Tolmie and wrongun. Absolutely spot on.

In my experience south, west and central Manchester are all definately barm enclaves. The only people i know who use the word muffin are those from Tameside and Oldham areas.

I think the real answer to the this question is what do the chippy's in CENTRAL Manchester call them. If you go to the chippy on Piccadilly gardens or the Lloyd street cafe its defo a chip barm.

In yorkshire they call them bread cakes, not tea cakes.
