muffin
This article is about American-style muffins. For the UK usage, see English muffin. For other uses, see muffin (disambiguation).
A muffin (sometimes American-style muffin outside the US) is a type of semi-sweet cake or quick bread that is baked in portions appropriate for one person. They are similar to cupcakes, although they are usually less sweet and lack icing. They may have sweet fillings, such as chocolate, toffee, lemons, or blueberries. Savory varieties, such as cornbread muffins or cheese muffins or sometimes just plain muffins, also exist.
The term also refers to a disk-shaped muffin, called an English muffin outside the United Kingdom. As American-style muffins are also sold in Commonwealth countries, the term muffin can refer to either product, with the context usually making clear which is meant.
There are many varieties such as low-fat and flavors of muffins made with a specific ingredient such as blueberries, chocolate chips, raspberry, cinnamon, pumpkin, date, nut, lemon, banana, orange, peach, strawberry, boysenberry, almond, and carrot, baked into the muffin. Muffins are often eaten for breakfast; alternatively, they may be served for tea or at other meals.

barm
In parts of the North-West of England and throughout Yorkshire, a barm or barm cake is a common term for a soft, floury bread roll, on menus in chip shops there is often an option of a chip barm (which consists of chips within a bread roll). This is a regional term: other areas describe an identical roll as a "bap", "bread bun", "bread cake","batch", "blaa" (Ireland) or many other variants. It is applied equally to yeast-leavened bread, without implying the use of sourdough or barm leavens.
In Ireland, barm is used in the traditional production of barmbrack, a fruited bread.
The term "barmy", a UK term for "crazy", may derive from a sense of frothy excitement.[3]
