Muffin or Barm

[york away to this!]

The fact that chip muffin sounds like something you'd find in a Macc Lads song tells you all you need to know.

I know a lad who's singing with the rest of the Macc Lads in a covers band called FILF

I'll ask him the question, though he is a red scumbag so probably refers to it as a muffin.

Maybe he did, but Stephen Hawking said it's known throughout the universe as a barm.

My god, we still arguing about this. Born in 1949 in the old terrace houses in Hulme, moved upmarket to Moss Side when they pulled those down. Always a barm, only heard the word muffin for the first time when I joined up in 1967 and went for training ‘darn sarf’. Says it all.

What a load of old shite. There’s a huge part of that map that says “bread cake” instead of “tea cake” but let’s not let the truth get in the way of your muffinite propaganda.

Ordered a bacon barm only to be asked "on a white muffin?". Hows that right you are one or the other people cant go around choosing to swap about as the mood take you.

Probably a barm that identifies itself as a muffin.

Here in Yerksheeire, a bread cake is the standard name for a large flattish roll
A tea cake is the same, but with the addition of currants, a roll is a much smaller version of the bread cake and a barm is an idiot.A Muffin is a small cake with fruit, and muffin the mule is a sexual offence.

A Muffin is not a fucking cake unless in the USA
