Athywhite_Mike Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Mmmm pasty barm. Used to sneak out of School and nip for a pasty barm from Dawsons in Tyldesley at lunch. T'was bloody loverly. Well, they were much better than the shite served up in the school canteen back then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatanGreavsie Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Does that not require a bib of some kind? Crusty bread, crumbly pastry, pork and jelly and the like - sounds beltin' though, maybe with a bit of HP sauce or Piccalilli? yeh, but in th'east midlands a cob is a barm - if you see what I mean. So soft bread round a Melton Mowbray, cut in half Edited January 11, 2012 by SatanGreavsie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I was in Dalton-In-Furness recently You poor bastard. Shitty little place, but not as bad as Askam. Edited January 11, 2012 by Traf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 In fact I once bought a dawsons there and it had a wasp in it. Took it back and they just replaced it. The pie. Not the wasp. What happened to the wasp, half-a-story Harry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) yeh, but in th'east midlands a cob is a barm - if you see what I mean. So soft bread round a Melton Mowbray, cut in half Not another regional variation for a flourcake/barmcake? at least cobs are savoury I suppose. Having soft bread with a pork pie doesn't sound as appetising - doesn't the jelly make the bread soggy? Anyway, I'm going to have a crusty cob with an award winning Frasers' Pork Pie for my dinner tomorrow. You poor bastard. Shitty little place, but not as bad as Askam. It (Dalton) has enough pubs, saying you can walk from one end to the other in about ten minutes. I've been to Askam, I didn't even notice the redeeming feature of any pubs in the five minutes I spent there. Me and the bloke I was with are hardly George Clooney and Brad Pitt, yet all the women of Dalton were like meerkats clocking us - as 'fresh meat', according to the girl behind the bar in one of the pubs.

Members bolty58 Posted January 11, 2012 Members Share Posted January 11, 2012 no pasty barms in bury its a pie or pasty muffin and as bolty and eg will confirm, it shouldn't be a barm in bolton mancified bumders its a pasty flour cake This man deserves a +1 for preserving Bolton lingo. It is indeed a pasty flour cake and teacakes do have currants in em (used to work in Huddersfield and they call flour cakes 'teacakes' the barmy bastards - see what I did there ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted January 11, 2012 Members Share Posted January 11, 2012 Isn't Mansfield regarded as the nadir of Yorkshire? Even derided by their fellow Yorkies as backward? This is a different Mansfield to the one where The Stags play, right? The one in Nottinghamshire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaydan Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I used to like a pasty on an Oven Bottom Muffin. Used to get them from Greenhalghs in the Market Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've an ology in Geography tha knars, Mansfield is in...Nottinghamshire, where are Saxon (the shit rock band) from? I'm sure it's Mansfield...The accent etc. it must be near the 'border' (the Yorkshire border, not the Mexican border).

athywhite1958 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Used to get a 'slappy' from corner shop near Leigh CE high school. Open barm, put pie on then 'slap' the top of the barm on, hence a 'slappy' This was in the absence of pasties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Anyone heard of/had one before? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasty_barm Heard of? Lived on for a few years in my early 20's.

I always thought flour cakes were flatter, wider and had been 'floured' top and bottom, as opposed to your regular barm? I'm sure my Gran used to call them two distinct things. Either way, it's proper lingo, like corporation pop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athywhite1958 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 A proper Wigan kebab was a meat pie, meat & potato pie and a pasty on a skewer (I have a pin badge of a Wigan kebab) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 11, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2012 Stall on Bury market near to Black pudding stall sells barms and oven bottoms as separate things. Oven bottoms are flatter, wider, and usually considerably blacker! Fish barm for me- had one only yesterday from Wood Street Chippy, in the back streets near Bury Bridge. Would recommend Jim's at Darcy Lever usually though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
