Muffin or Barm

[Mr Rich]

I was having a conversation with a couple of Lan-daners, and when I mentioned a chip barm they didn't have a clue what I was on about. So I thought I'd try a chip muffin, 'Has that got chocolate chips in it?'.

Now I'm just completely confused.... but it's still a BARM

Whenever I enter a bakery I have to think which area I'm in before I order because where I grew up in south Manchester it was a barm cake, though some people did say muffin. When I lived up near Middlesbrough there were small triangular bread 'fadgies' as well as large flattish circular 'stotties.' In Northwich you don't ask for a chip barm/muffin -it's a 'chip batch.' Now in Calderdale you ask for a white or brown 'teacake,'- in Manchester the only teacakes have currants in. Sometimes I can be stood there for half an hour before chickening out and asking for a Hovis.

I've seen a lot of "stotties" strutting their "fadgies" around town.

Did you spread them with some butter?

Well I'm a muffin man myself, but the McD's version of a muffin is just wrong. Wtf is all that dusty stuff they cover it with? In fact ALL McD's is minging.
