kent_white Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Chips in tomato soup, another Northen delicacy. Bloody hell - not had that in ages. Great, especially with home made chips and bread!
Ani Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 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.
Colonel Mustard Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 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
no balls Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Chips in tomato soup, another Northern delicacy. I bloody love that me I do.
Danny G Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 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
Ani Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 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.

Boby Brno Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 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.

Didledee Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 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.
Spider Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 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.
KP Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 had a peep as i passed earlier looked busy enough and proper clean give it a go folks...opposite garibaldis and the chicken place gotta be better than giving that city fella your hard earned That will be my choice of tea on Friday neet. May as well try a pudding too while I'm there.
Sir_Francis Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 If you insist.... Tonge Old Rd, Tonge Fold, next to the co-op. Ohhhh.....stepping on Paul Mouldens toes there methinks!
Exiled Girl Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 too many wannabe mancs corrupting our language, thats why casino, grandson of a baker It's a flour cake. And it's flat, none of this rounded top business. A flour cake. EG, daughter of 2 Bolton bakers, grandaughter of 2 more.
bolty58 Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 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.
Didledee Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 " Can I have a chip flour cake" doesn't sound right that. But chip barm does.
Exiled Girl Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 " 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?
leigh white Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I remember the " Slappy", a pie in a barm cake in Leigh about 71 at Clemmys Pie shop outside the tech.
bolty58 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 " 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?
Burndens Bogs Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) 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. Burndens bogs - Not frightened of change Edited February 25, 2011 by Burndens Bogs
