Bread Bun, Bread Cake, Barm.......

Why we all arguing? It's a Barm! Fact!

If you don't know what a barm is then you are not worthy enough

I have worked all over the country and have had many an argument with people over the naming of the BARMCAKE!

It's a bread roll or a batch. Have a look in tesco, they have a name for them that they call them nationally, this name is Bread Rolls.

Problem is the Tesco's idea of a bread roll just isn't the same a proper roll (won't mention the buttery StorkSpeed) it more like a softie. A proper roll has a thin hard crust, not like a softie or Tesco's roll that has something more akin to the skin on a bowl of custard.

On the subject of bread products, who out there prefers proper plain bread to pan bread?

pan


plain


again, not to scale

The custard cream looks tempting, but you know a bourbon biscuit would be better

I wish Talkie Toaster was on here, he'd put us straight.

Its a roll - no doubt about it.

Bread, crusty, grainary, wholemeal, seeded. cheese toped.

Basically if its not a loaf its a roll, unless it is a nann, crumpet, muffin, stick, bagette, petit pan, ciabatta, etc etc

They're two different things.

Roll, cob or bap for me.

Bread cakes is too northern for me. Where is Barm from? I've only ever heard it on the Daz advert before.

I used to hear "Barm" when working up north in Washwood Heath, Birmingham. They were huge and usually filled with the best part of a full english.

thats a stottie further north and east.


a small round bread roll is a barm or an oven bottom muffin if its slightly flatter and wider

So you mean a Cob.

mattshrops

a soft torpedo shape is a roll
a soft round shape is a bap(bun)
a crusty round is a cob(as in crusty cob)
I personally think crumpets and pikelets are the same thing (midlands again) that picture looked more like some sort of pancake(maybe scotch??)
a barm cake is a big floury bun(bap)

See you do care....

By the way, regards the bacon, there is the question about whether it's thin cut or thick cut? And I take it that you eat it with brown sauce and not tomato?

It's a baguette down here.

You can't have brown sauce on a bacon butty!

Yes you can, bacon and brown sauce is a great combination.
You even had them as a crisp flavour once. Might still get them?
