Its a Northern Thing.
Think you'll find you are confusing barm cake with barm pot.A muffin, can be toasted, or buttered with some chips for a great butty.
A barm cake, someone off his head. (only having a laugh lads and lasses).
They even do muffins in Morocco, although the indigenous berber people don't know how close theirs look and taste to a staple Ashton market hall oven bottom muffin. They were especially tasty when dipping into a meat n' veg tagine.
What about baps? I recommend Katie's baps in Barnsley.
The trouble with muffin is it could be misconstrued as a lady part... (a bit like 'growler' - Yorkshire slang for pork pie).
You sir are correctBaps? There is no room in this thread for fence sitters. It’s either a barm or you’re wrong.
I agree with the first part, its a bit like how posh people have breakfast, lunch and dinner, whereas I have breakfast, me dinner and then me tea.As I have said before, Barm Cake is for the upper class, Muffin for the working class.
My Grandad and dad had two Chippies in Gorton, on occations they sold buttered Muffins so people could have a Chip Muffin.
Chip Barm doesnt have the same ring.
Breakfast and lunch? Bollocks to that..... I have brunchI agree with the first part, its a bit like how posh people have breakfast, lunch and dinner, whereas I have breakfast, me dinner and then me tea.
However, as regards the second part: chip muffin vs chip barm, I'd have to put forward the obvious: chip butty.
