Muffin or Barm

"Barm cake is type of bread roll with flour on top. It has a characteristically strong flavour that comes from the traditional barm leaven made from a natural leaven with the addition of hops. However, the Barm Cake is more likely made from commercial yeast these days.
The original barm cake is found in areas of North West England. In wider northern England, a similar bread roll would be known instead as a "breadbun", "breadcake", "bap" or even (in the enlarged form of Tyneside) a "stotty".
Chips are a popular filling, sold in most fish and chip shops in the north west of England often called simply a 'chip barm"
Right back achya Mr Fabulous!

I recognise that.
It's from Michael Jackson's Guide to Breads of the World.
I used a dictionary. :-)

Right, Lady.
If you're using Wikipedia as the font of knowledge, here's their description of muffins.....
An old English nursery rhyme, The Muffin Man, describes a door-to-door purveyor of muffins. The rhyme was known at the time of Jane Austen in the early 19th Century and a muffin man is mentioned at one point in her novel, Persuasion. The muffins sold at this period were made of yeasted dough and baked on a hot griddle.
Muffins may well originate as far back as the 10th century, yet the muffin became a fashionable bread during the 18th century. By the beginning of the 19th century there were dozens of muffin factories in existence and the 'muffin man' was a common sight.
Muffins have HISTORY !!
