Re: City & FFP (continued)
Sorry, The product shown above is not a muffin
I was brought up in Blackley and in the early 1950's, my mother used to send me to Gray's bakery on Rochdale Road, just south of Moston Lane to buy half a dozen muffins which were flat and round.. We also bought fruit muffins which had mixed fruit added to the normal muffin (great toasted with cheese). I never even heard of a barm cake until I started work in Manchester City centre and was introduced to this bread product as shown in the picture above. which bore some resemblance to the muffins I had known all my life.
The so called 'muffin' shown above looks more like a glorified cup cake to me.
I tend to think that muffins are from the 'gritty' north Manchester where a spade is a spade and a barm cake is a product for the southern Manchester 'poovs' who call a spade a shovel!
Anyway, when do we hear about the new sponsorships?
