Snow_white Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 The different regional variants for a spheroid of bread is really quite remarkable, Blackburn -"tea cake" Lancaster - "bun" Hyde - "muffin" it changes from area to area with no real explanation.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted February 23, 2011 Site Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2011 I had a fish barm in Cleckheaton a while ago and we had this discussion with the proprietor of the chipshop; which happens to be a fish shop in those areas. He asked me if I wanted it on a Fish Teacake. A what? A fish teacake is a barm but slightly elongated widthways in order to get the whole fish within the bread. Well, you learn sommat new eery day!

The True Marple White Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Very good debate this!!! When I head south to the office in reading and ask for a ham salad on a White barm I get looks as if I've just dropped down from mars!!!! Teacake is certainly nit right, that's the one with currents in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
