Chips in tomato soup, another Northen delicacy.

 

Bloody hell - not had that in ages. Great, especially with home made chips and bread!

My other half is from Yorkshire and he can't understand the butty bit either

 

Chips butties are eatne a lot at our house in Leeds.

 

All the chippies sell chip butties as well.

 

I feel like my work here is done. I just need to get them used to buying the first round.

Flour cake if your an old Boltonian, Barm if your under 45

 

Ha - I'm well under 45 Danny (OK maybe not well under) and it's a flour cake for me - parental legacy I'm afraid. Admittedly I only tend to use that within the hallowed town walls as I get fkin sick of having to explain mesen

Me Mam, Nan and Grandad call them Flour Cakes, i did until I got sent to the Chippy as a kid and asked for a Chip Flour Cake, the poor chink didnt have a clue what i was on about, Its been barm for me since

If you insist....

Tonge Old Rd, Tonge Fold, next to the co-op.

 

 

and this shop does proper fishcakes, real peas, proper puddings and top pies?

 

 

My I am sure everyone would be lucky if they could get there for their tea twice a week.

Can you bring your own dish?

Flour cake if your an old Boltonian, Barm if your under 45

If you were born within ear shot of the Burnden Roar, it's a flour cake. Anything else and your either gay, a woman, a soft souther softy or Chinese. Fact, ITK. Etc.

give it a go folks...opposite garibaldis and the chicken place

 

gotta be better than giving that city fella your hard earned

It's a barm.

 

You can't really say "I'll have a chip/pasty teacake/muffin please" doesn't sound right.

 

I wouldn't even call it a barm cake, Muffins and cakes are deserts/snacks. You don't eat barm with custard or cream.

Flour Cake

 

And that's the definitive answer because I've just checked with my 80-odd year old uncle who thinks anywhere outside BL postcodes is full of foreign muck.

 

His opinions on the lower end of Deane Road suggest otherwise, but you get my drift.

It's a flour cake. And it's flat, none of this rounded top business. A flour cake.

Thank f?ck we have arrived at the truth.

 

Flour cake.

 

'Barm'!? Manc affected shiyte. Some will pronouncing 'you' or 'yer' as 'yoh' soon, FFS.

" Can I have a chip flour cake" doesn't sound right that.

 

But chip barm does.

chip muffin.

With choc at the beginning.

" Can I have a chip flour cake" doesn't sound right that.

 

But chip barm does.

 

It's a chip buttie, and it comes on a flour cake.

 

Dear Lord, do the youth of today know nothing?

I remember the " Slappy", a pie in a barm cake in Leigh about 71 at Clemmys Pie shop outside the tech.

" Can I have a chip flour cake" doesn't sound right that.

 

But chip barm does.

 

 

You don't sound right. Barm(y)seems apt in your case.

 

Call thisen a Bowtner?

Sorry Bolty, but i think Diddles is right on this one.

As a kid growing up in 60's Bowton it was always flour cake,but over the years this has changed - if you went into most shops in Bolton now and asked for a bacon on a flour cake or a tuna salad flour cake, chances are the bird behind the counter wouldn't have a clue what you were on about - unless it was an "owd school" buttie shop/bakery.

Bacon barm

Chip barm

Tuna salad barm etc,all have a certain ring to them now in modern day Bolton.
