Muffin or Barm

Welcome back old friend : )

It's not surprising this thread has been going 16 years. Gtr Manchester has the most complex bread roll landscape in the country. It's to our credit there's never been civil war.

Cobs, buns, baps or barm cakes: what do people call bread rolls?

New data from YouGov Profiles reveals the regional differences in the names used for a bread roll

The wisdom of the crowd (correctly) says it's Barm, but only just. The survey is 7 years old though so I don't know if the relative birthrates of Barmistas and Muffineers has changed things at all.

As the recent ticketing u-turn shows, the club is not infallible. You're not wrong it's a bit tiresome but there's bugger all else going on here and I'm avoiding going to the tip.

I understand that the new hotel will serve Full English breakfast with toasted barms or Continental breakfast with Muffins and Jam.

Barm

I'm convinced it's barm, even though barm isn't shown as a viable word in many English Scrabble dictionaries.

I told you from the start, Its a muffin.

Barmcake in Wythenshawe

I’m comforted by the commentary in that survey which says: “Only in Greater Manchester is the term ‘muffin’ used, but those people are stark staring bonkers.”
