+1 for Muffin - you have oven bottom muffins you see, and they are totally OMNOMNOMNOM

Hate the term Barm/ Barm Cake *shudders* just doesn't make any sense

Teacake > Currant Teacake
Butty > sandwich (that would have worked)
Bread Roll > little bread roll that you would have with soup

Try Yorkshire!

Breadcake, teacake, bread bun, scoff-le.

Ask for a Muffin - you get an American one.

What the hell is a scoff-le?

You mean a scuffler?

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

That's a currant teacake

I work in Burnley and they're called teacakes here - what the ****

[Kenai]

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.

Those are muffins, not bread buns / bread rolls / barm cakes / whatever

 

[StriderX]

This thread is going barmy.

Saying anything bad about Tunnocks teacakes is almost on a par with knocking David Attenborough or Stephen Hawking. Its just not done.
