Mattyblue Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) Tea cake in east Lancs, though ‘barmcake’ does seem to becoming more prominent over this side. Edited May 27, 2023 by Mattyblue Quote

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. Quote
Mattyblue Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) Blackburn/Darwen/Hyndburn/Dingleville is probably the full extent of tea cake coverage. Edited May 27, 2023 by Mattyblue Quote
Upside Down Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 Will they be doing flat caps there as well, or are they not doing breakfast? Quote
bazza Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 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? 1 Quote
Mattyblue Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 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. Quote
tomphil Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 It's a barm cake and always has been. Chip tea cake ? 🤣 Give over. 2 Quote
Mattyblue Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 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’. 2 Quote

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! Quote
rigger Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) As a kid I useed to go for the scraps, as they where free. Not a bread product in sight. Edited May 27, 2023 by rigger Quote

An M&S fish cake on a buttered white barm cake is the food of the gods. 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? 😁 3 Quote

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! Edited May 27, 2023 by Mercer 1 Quote
