Muffin or Barm

You guys 'only' have to worry about is it a Muffin or a Barm-cake. I have always said Barm-cake.

Try living down here people dont even know what a butty is ! Let allowed a barm-cake. I have to remember to say sandwich !.

When we first moved down saff in the 60' mum and dad left me with a neighbour for the day. I was about 6 when my parents came back about 4ish they asked me what I had in my butty. I said i didnt have one, Why ? I kept asking for a butty but the neighbour wont make me one. My parents went round to ask her why they hadnt fed me, turns out the neighbour couldnt understand my 6 yr old manc accent and didnt know what a butty was !
For years at easter when visiting grandparents in Burnage, when leaving our parents would load the car up with barm-cake and vimto as you couldnt buy those in kent. You still cant get a proper eccles cake down here , but that's another thread lol

Doesn’t even mention “muffin”.

They do sell muffins, but they’ve got blueberries or chocolate chips in them.
 
I use all the different variations depending on where I am at the time.
Growing up on Langley I'd use muffin but after that, being the gypsey I am and moving around a lot I've used, bap, barm and roll.
This is an argument I've never got. Different places use different words to describe the same thing. Who'd a thought..

That posh cafe is for clueless posh cunts.
I say muffin even when it says barm, just to annoy posh cunts. Not saying you are, like; )

Not true mate. A muffin is a muffin, a bap is a bap, a cob is a cob, a stotty is a stotty, a breadcake is a breadcake, a teacake is a teacake, a roll is a roll.
And a barm is eaten by confused barmpots; )

Muffin.

Didn't your neighbour darn sarf realise that kids get hungry and need some sort of food no matter what it is called?
I was a Hollands Pie courier for someone in London once and an occasional Park Drive supplier in Germany. Not to mention passing on the Football Pink with bits of family news written by my mum in the margins. She would have said that famous Manchester saying 'ITS A BARM'!
 
Just like to say, for the first time since we became Champions… it’s a barm[cake]!

A lad from Coventry and a bunch of southerners arguing if it is a cob or roll. Leave them to their petty arguments because they are both wrong. They have the fucking cheek to call themselves a news channel?

I’m not even sure what the point is I’m asking anyone. It’s a barm.
