Try searching Wikipedia for muffin old bean. The truth shall prevail
Or to save people the trouble.
Barm cake is type of bread roll, similar to an English muffin, with flour on top. It had a characteristically strong flavour that comes from the traditional barm leaven made from a natural leaven with the addition of hops. However, the Barm Cake is more likely made from commercial yeast these days.[citation needed]
The original barm cake is found in areas of North West England. In wider northern England, a similar bread roll would be known instead as a "breadbun", "breadcake", "bap" or even (in the enlarged form of Tyneside) a "stotty".
Chips are the most popular filling, sold in most fish and chip shops in the north west of England often called simply a 'chip barm'
Mmmm just fancy a chip barm on my way to watch the Youth team tonight!
