Muffin or Barm

[Rammyblues]

Re: Barm or Muffin

According to wikipedia,

[edit] Great Britain
In Great Britain, a teacake is usually a light, sweet, yeast-based bun containing dried fruits such as currants, sultanas or peel. It is typically split, toasted, buttered, and served with tea. It is flat and circular, with a smooth brown upper surface and a somewhat lighter underside. In certain areas of Barnsley, West Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria, teacake recipes omit currants and sultanas. In Kent the tea cake is known as a "huffkin", which is often flavoured with hops, especially at the time of harvesting hops in September. In Sussex a luxurious version of the tea cake with added aromatics such as nutmeg, cinamon and rose water is still sometimes made and called a manchet or Lady Arundel's Manchet. In West Cumbria, some East Lancashire towns and parts of nearby West Yorkshire, a teacake is the name given to a plain bread roll. In this area, the normal "teacake" is referred to as a currant or fruited teacake.

What part of this did you NOT understand.

Re: Barm or Muffin

Oh by the way muffins are a better class of bread roll than a barm, not as good as a teacake. I think you lot need to visit your bakers a little more often and see what is on offer instead of the 4 -6 pack of barms from the local supermarket.
