It's basically the same as a white barm yeah, but brown.

A barm cake is like an oven-bottom cake.

Wiki:

The original barm cake is found in areas of Lancashire, North West England. In wider northern England, a similar bread roll would be known instead as a "breadbun", "breadcake", "bap", "cob" (an East Midland term), "teacake" (West Yorkshire term; without currents or current teacake with currants) or even (in the enlarged form of Tyneside) a "stotty".

Chips are a popular filling, sold in most fish and chip shops in the North West of England often called simply a 'chip barm'.[1] Another popular filling in the North West, particularly Bolton, is the pasty barm.[2]

I think southerners call them 'muffins'

[Lord Kangana]

Actually the original language.

Did you know that the southern accent is an affectation? (seriously)

Anglo Saxon vs French

It's why we have a different word for the animal and the meat it gives.

Pork (Norman) Pig (Anglo Saxon)
Beef (Norman) Cow (Anglo Saxon)

Chow's chippy. Blackburn Road. Opposite the Three Pigeons. Ask for the sore finger!

And before you query it, remember McDonalds is a 'restaurant'

There are no decent Chinese restaurants anywhere.

Just neck two tablespoons of salt and you'll get the same effect.

A fellow Chowsphile!!

Keveh - Chinese Buffet in the town centre, down from what used to be Woolies is good, there's also a brilliant little place opposite the post office, just past Whitakers called Bambu.

[Lofthouse Lower]

I visited the Chinese Buffet and found it to be typical of Chinese Buffet places - shit food, barely warm, overpriced, swimming in salt and grease and very very bland. Avoid.
