Pies v Pasties

[Lord Kangana]

I still can't believe pasties are beating pies.

Perhaps we should test you lot for drugs

[Rated R Superstar]

Tough call, but I went for pasties

[Bruce Rioja]

every time i come back to bolton i give my nan forewarning and she picks me up a pack

brilliant stuff

Every home game then. You make it sound as though you're returning from the fecking Kalahari!

[Batman]

ah no it's more complex than that

home games i bomb down the motorway from preston and go to the match then back here

bolton visits are special

[bobo the clown]

I think he means an oven bottom or a barm cake.Or a flour cake.He'll be saying teacake next...

I assume he means a barm cake.

But 'barm cakes' aren't what they were when I were a kid ! Then they were light and had a very yeasty smell ... & a chip barm was the peak of foods.

[William the White]

Anyone who doesn't call it a barm was obviously raised at least 10 miles from Bolton, bloody outsiders.

Born in the depths of Halliwell, but was definitely a flour cake...

[Batman]

farnworth and flour cake for me

A flour cake is one of those dusty bastards. We're on about barm cakes here. The Jocks have dusty bastards too and they call them something different.

Definitely and totally wrong. Barm cakes are a filthy yorkie intrusion into our vernacular... Or, even worse, burnley...

I'll try not to bore everyone to tears, but the reason for that is theres about 20000x more gluten and yeast in bread these days. Its quicker, cheaper and most importantly requires little skill to make em like that.

Bread....... thats a whole nother thread....

You'd better be winding me up; and if you are I can assure you that this kind of sick joke isn't funny...only I've called them barms all my life.
For that is their name.

the great and noble designation 'flour cake' was in every bolton bakers in the decent times.

but now, in these degenerate days, when the mill chimneys are long gone, we are prepared to satisfy ourselves with a filthy corruption insidiously sneaked in by folks not of our valley...

So, even our sons and daughters have embraced the corruption...

and now i know how the Druids felt when the romans arrived...

[Leyther_Matt]

A barm cake is most certainly Lancastrian - folks from t'other side o't'big hill called them bread cakes.

[Batman]

the preston folk are amazed by how awesome they are, but now i no longer share

far too nice to split amongst non-believers

[Lord Kangana]

Do you not eat butter pies batty?

[Batman]

nah, only live here, not from here

thankfully

hillbillies i tell you

or tea cakes or flour cakes

[Electric Gretar]

I can sum it up like this.

Carr's Pasties are great. I haven't had another pastie that compares.

There are however, a multitude of pies that are fantastic.

So the Pies have it.

For the record, those abominations in Harvester's, Beefeaters and the like aren't pies. Pies have pastry all round. What they represent are the last resting place of lips, bums and horns of a variety of cattle, Bovine and Porcine with a pastry coffin lid.

Carr's pasties are shite. FACT!

Best pasties are Ye Olde followed by Hunters

Best pies are Kirks followed by Burnden Pies
