Dear Mods,

Good luck keeping threads on-topic in the future.

Sorry

Love, Chimp

PS. Do they still sell Topics in sweetshops/newsagents/supermarkets?

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.

That makes sense and I agree but you haven’t addressed the barmcake issue

Thanks for confirming what Ive been trying to explain to non blackburnians  since I left 40 yrs ago

Barm cake - bit like mini sottie better a bit brunt

teacake - better pronounced as tahcake softer sweeter and no bloody currants

currant teacake - has currants...

My life is fulfilled....

You need to ask a Bolton baker about that, E. Lancs bakers didn’t make barmcakes.

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. 

I had a biscuit once in America and it was a scone! (Without wishing to derail the thread(!) is it scone or scon??). 

[Boroblue]

I think you clarified the bread issue

scon not scone

Then you are not allowed an opinion on important issues like bread

Nonsense. If anybody knows about what's in-bread it's that Burnley lot.

Back to basics, Loons fuck off and take all the idiots with you. Apology accepted for your shitshow for 11-years. Respect Jack, done.

What on earth is an “oven bottom” - in and of itself?

It’s missing a prefix.

50/50 due to the addition of cocoa powder.

As I remember from my schooldays at SMC, we sneaked out for a dab teacake, with not a current in sight. But it had a domed top, otherwise it would’ve been a dab barmcake

The chippy at the top of St James's road used to do a John Bull barmcake

[Boroblue]

Would you toast it or just butter

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 

The nearest thing is a softy

I hope somebody at the club is reading this thread.

The current situation has driven us to this!
