Only a tyke could come up with that! Thing is mate. We can't agree on one name..... And yes. It's a serious thing. Must admit though, only Yorkshire people could have the tea cake war. It basically boils down to this.. Where i am from its a tea cake and this is the correct terminology. Where Stu is from, they, for whatever reason call said thing a breadcake??? It manifests itself in the mist serious form when people like I frequent the east coast and stubbornly refuse to adhere to their strange ways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 It can be amusing at the shop when someone from another part of the country asks for a barm cake etc as the teenage staff we have don't have a clue what they are been asked for 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is out! What you"re really talking about is a barm bread! Any fool knows that's the real name for such a delicacy. Only daft Yorkshiremen could get cakes into what is obviously a kind of bread. Barbarians. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just the wild heathens in Yorkshire though. In the North West we know them as barmcakes. Which is of course their correct title.

S-Westerly Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 What's all this mixing perfectly good bread with cake? Down south so far as I know they just call them buns unless they are posh in which case it's rolls. Of course real men eat stotties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish n chips up here average 7.50, must be predominantly fat greedy fookers that's catered for as me and the wife struggle to eat one between us. It is not a bun you villainous herectic. It is a barm. There are some things which may be compromised on. This is not one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
