Re: Barm or Muffin
And just in case you are convinced.............
Muffin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see Muffin (disambiguation).
Muffins: A muffin is a type of bread that is baked in small portions. Many forms are somewhat like small cakes or cupcakes in shape, although they usually are not as sweet as cupcakes and generally lack frosting. Savory varieties, such as cornbread muffins, also exist. They generally fit in the palm of an adult hand, and are intended to be consumed by an individual in a single sitting.
Muffin can also refer to a different baked good: the smaller, disk-shaped English muffin, although this usage is uncommon outside of the Commonwealth of Nations. As American-style muffins are also sold in Commonwealth countries, the term muffin can refer to either product, with the context usually making clear which is meant.
There are many varieties and flavors of muffins made with a specific ingredient such as blueberries, chocolate chips, cucumbers, raspberry, cinnamon, pumpkin, date nut, lemon, banana, orange, peach, strawberry, boysenberry, almond, and carrot. These ingredients are then baked into the muffin. Muffins are often eaten for breakfast; alternatively, they may be served for tea or at other meals.
No mention at all that these are from/eaten/bought 'up North' and are even seen as a direct equivellant to the much more famour "Barmcake".....i mean, who's ever heard of a bl**dy Cinnamon or Pumpkin Barmcake FFS !! :-)
