Ask and you shall receive.

A barm cake is a type of bun 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 today.[citation needed]

The original barm cake is found in areas of Lancashire, North West England. In wider northern England, a similar bread roll would be known instead as a "breadbun", "breadcake", "bap", "cob" (a Midlands term), "teacake" (West Yorkshire/some parts of Cumbria; without currants or currant teacake with currants) 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'.[1] Another popular filling in the North West, particularly Bolton, is the pasty barm.[2] Likewise in Wigan pies are a popular filling

So, admittance at last, these things that you describe don't have flour on top. As they are no longer made from barm leaven it's a yeast bread. So therefore whatever these barm cakes were are no longer made commercially, you are therefore usually buying muffins.

Didn't someone have a count up on what folk went for & it came out at over 80% for the muffin men
So fucking swivel you barmpots.

That's because the pro - muffin idiots are so insecure that they have to pathetically repeat their inane mitherings.

Those that are really in the know, only need to say barm the once.

The downside of the success we are currently enjoying is that it has attracted a lot of croissant eating vol-au-vent munching briefcase carrying ex grammar school boys.When i meet my mate every month or so for a piss up we still laugh about the day we wagged school to watch city in the 70's. The very day some spotty kid in a stripey hat and neatly pressed purple uniform asked us where we had got our chip barms from at half time. We couldnt believe he was wearing a uniform never mind fucking purple.
