What is it with Manchester people?

How could one possibly have chips or anything like that on a tea cake? Tea cakes have raisins in them.

"Batch" in the Midlands afaik unless it's bacon filled then it's a butty (dunno why).

When I lived in Sheffield I think it was "bap" up there.

Try Yorkshire!

Breadcake, teacake, bread bun, scoff-le.

Ask for a Muffin - you get an American one.

Butty is by no means northern specific, bacon butty is universal.

Not where I come from.

Your location is Bristol, not America! We wanted an American one!

Ah no!

Ask a Yorkshire man for a plain teacake!

Careful with pop too - you might end up with diluted cordial!

What is this I don't even. Barm cakes? :s

I'm from up North, hence why I clicked

Barm cake sounds like "Bumcake".

I live 3 or 4 miles away from where they call them Barm cakes and I think it's barmy!

We call it The Lancashire oven bottom muffin.

You just nearly made me choke on my Twiglets!

Where's that?

 

[FARGO]

How about a cobb?

You ask for sexual favours at the bakers. How very odd.

 

[Disco Boy]

You mean a large bap?

 

[topgun06]

Tea cakes? They're the small round things containing fruit which you have for breakfast. what is wrong with you people?

 

[.Lethal]

Barm? new to me.

I find it odd that people gave you looks when you asked for a bread bun. It isn't difficult to figure out what you're saying. People need to get over themselves and accept that we don't use the same term for everything as they may do where "you" live.

Having worked all over the country it's easier to ask for a sandwich now

The confusion of the barm, bap, bun, butty, teacake isn't worth it.
