RevidgeBlue 9005 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Hope Venky's don't come on here tonight to gauge fan reaction. They'll come away thinking everyone is happy enough because they're talking about barnacles! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is where the term half baked comes from when referring to an idea not well thought through or someone not quite 100%. That is a magnificent bit of knowledge.

Stay with the pain. Rovers are sh!t and I just hate it. When will this purgatory ever end? Even a life sentence is done in 9 years. Venky's have been here over 10... Need you to pen a new bluesy Venky ditty Len. You have enough material to fill an album to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The muffin discussion is bad but we have agreed to use our host country as the standard. The BISCUIT argument may never be solved... Dare I ask what the yanks think a biscuit is? If it’s anything like giving you crisps instead of chips I dread to think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mowbray is a shit manager taking us backwards. Until he decides to leave bread is more interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Giant 376 Posted February 27 Popular Post Share Posted February 27 2 hours ago, Elvis Biro said: Sorry mate, but a teacake in Lancs has currants in it. My dad was a baker in Darwen, then Great Harwood where I lived in the baker’s shop. A teacake in the Blackburn area doesn’t have currants in it, that’s a currant teacake. Basically made from white bread dough but cooked off the bottom of the oven on a rack to distinguish them from oven bottoms which are. Teacakes are for putting bacon on, currant teacake are for toasting with butter on. Both drunk with a cup of tea, hence teacake. Ashton’s bakery on Heys Lane still sell proper teacakes, not a currant in sight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But it had a domed top, otherwise it would’ve been a dab barmcake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bbrovers2288 1887 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I’m in north of Scotland, have no idea what you’re even trying to name. A barncake? Is it just like a roll that you would put like cheese or sausage etc in? It’s just a roll here I think. a tea cake is a wee chocolate biscuit with marshmallow in it. a muffin can be either like a McMuffin - savoury or like a chocolate /blueberry muffin. Admit they should probably have two names to avoid confusion. we also have like hot cross buns- that could be your barncake interesting regional naming of foods discussion all the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, some friends moved to Dumfries and there were no shops nearby but a bakers van came round three times a week, but never had tea cakes or barm cakes. When our friend enquired about tea cakes the driver said he brought them to order, so she asked him to bring half a dozen next time. When he brought them they were like round loaves about 12 inch in diameter and they were still eating stale bread over a week later Edited February 27 by renrag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
