Fishcake in a t-cake @Upside Down, that's the one for me.

Barm cake in Lanky innit?

But I agree with your overall point. An M&S fish cake on a buttered white barm cake is the food of the gods.

Tea cake in east Lancs, though ‘barmcake’ does seem to becoming more prominent over this side.

I saw your unedited post and checked wiki so I could come back and tell you that you were talking shite...but you were right!

Tea-cake is East Lancs/West Yorks ........ but barm cake is Lancs in general. 

I'm originally RV and that was brought up on barm cakes. 

[Mattyblue]

Blackburn/Darwen/Hyndburn/Dingleville is probably the full extent of tea cake coverage.

Will they be doing flat caps there as well, or are they not doing breakfast?

I'm a Prestonian, worked in Blackpool and Bolton. Never ever heard of a John Bull in a chip shop. And a dab is a flat fish with sand paper skin to me.

Tea cake or barm cake; same thing. Flour cake in Bolton and muffin in Manchester.

Back on topic.......is he staying?

[Mattyblue]

Don’t think you even get John Bull’s in Darwen, nevermind any other non-Blackburn area. My local chippy as a kid at Four Lane Ends used to do a cracking one.

[tomphil]

It's a barm cake and always has been.

Chip tea cake ?  🤣

Give over.

[Mattyblue]

I’d honestly never seen it called anything else from a tea cake until I went to Leeds for uni and it was suddenly a ‘bread cake’.

[K-Hod]

It’s the easiest way to start a war up north, when you ask what people call a bread product. I say, live and let live.

Unless you call it a cob, then you can do one x

John Bulls are the dog's b0ll0cks and have bought them at chippies as far a field as Arnside and Keswick!

I thought tea cakes were the ones with raisins in them. My grandparents would come over and have toasted tea cakes and butter with a cup o' tea. Hence why they might be called tea cakes?

I worked part-time in a chippy in Clitheroe when I was 17 or 18 (Cottage Takeaway, now Baldwin's?), and it was always a barm cake there. I don't recall tea cake being mentioned in chippies in Accy where I grew up. Or maybe my memory has gone!

As a kid I useed to go for the scraps, as they where free. Not a bread product in sight.

They are ‘fruit tea cakes’, of course.

Always been tea cakes in Accy.

It's tea cake in Blackburn, but have heard barm used around here recently. Not sure about Lancashire in general though.

The strangest one for me was hearing a mate ask for a chip muffin one day. A chip what? Do you mean chocolate chip? 😁

I take it you haven't spent much time in the Blackburn area.

From memory, and it's a bloody long time ago, a tea cake did  have raisins in - my mum and dad loved them toasted for breakfast.

Other 'delicacies' I can recall from those tender years include tripe and chips, tripe and onions and cow heel pie!  Happy days!

‘From memory?’ 😁 You can get a fruit tea cake anywhere - cafes, supermarkets etc etc…

[Oldgregg86]

I still never forgave my nan for making me cow tongue butties for school

From now on I will always associate you with tripe.

Aren't they John Bull cakes?
