Barmcakes

[Angelblue]

I'd call it a breadcake or a bap

No one ever seems to know what patties are outside of Hull

my dh is from leeds and he calls rolls breadcakes, he gets some funny looks and blank expressions at the bakers

this could lead on to what you call the batter bits from the chippy! in Ilfracombe ( where i was born) we called them scribbles! dh calls them scraps

I went to Birmingham earlier this year and I went to a cafe.

I asked for a tuna mayo barmcake, to which the waitress looked at me like I was crazy and said she'd never heard of them.

Anyway, my question is? Is barmcake just a manchester thing?

Anyone else been in a emberessing situation because of regional differences???

I'm from Stoke and work in a chippy and people come in and ask for them (I know what they are now...BAPS! lol) but I did give a few people a funny look at first and said sorry we don't sell them

oh dont get me started on barm cakes my sister lives in blackpool and the first time i went up there i said to her when we was in town i want a bacon roll and she said its a bacon barm i was like what the f**k is a bacon barm, and she said its a bacon roll and cause she is origianally from warwickshire she knew what i was on about. She had to get my bacon ROLL cause i felt silly asking for a bacon barm I still cant get my head around the barm cake thing. And another thing her husband calls a cup of tea or coffee a BREW.

But i love the accent in blackpool.

I ask people if they want a brew instead of tea or coffee lol...how common!
