How does this thread get so long!?

You have Eggs Benedict on a muffin.

You have chips on a barm (cake).

Many moons ago I used to work at Warburtons in Bolton. I've been inside packing, in the oven sections, slicing machines and delivered bread all over the Northwest. I'm qualified to comment from both sides of the street. There are 3 types that count.
BARM CAKE as used in chippys
OVEN BOTTOM great for bacon butties
FLOUR CAKE similar to a barm but with a dusting of flour. ( More of a local baker product)
Everything else doesn't count, rolls, cobs, muffins, Baps are variations on the main 3, fighting for mid table places. When Lionel comes I will offer to educate him but to be honest he can call them what the fuck he wants and I won't mind

Barm cakes are traditionally named from the original use of 'barm' - the foam from beer - in its production but that is highly unlikely to be the case today. Most products sold as barms are actually rolls or buns and have a crust that does not suit the making of a chip butty as much as an oven bottom MUFFIN (as in the picture above) with its soft top and bottom layers and generally larger diameter.
