Muffin or Barm

What do they sell in Tony's chippy ? A fucking chip barm that's what

Martin's Bakery is Manchester's longest running and they call 'em Manchester Muffins! No debate.

Do you reckon we could map out what terms the areas of Manchester use? I think we all agree on crusty cob, roll etc. (the other varieties)... but after 841 pages it might be worth concluding something.

I think all central and east North Manchester (to Failsworth and I'd think Newton Heath) use Muffin from what I can tell? Collyhurst being right next to town and under the influence of international words like Barm may be otherwise.

Does this sound about right?
