Oh, you have to be careful. You can't just go anywhere and call it a bap. That's because it's a barm.

We joke about regional differences in names with mock defensiveness. In Manchester, my area at least, it's a barm and that's that. Even if it isn't technically a barm (not made with barm and is actually sold as a bap).

Oven bottoms are awesome. Those are called barms too. A cob, roll generally means the crusty variety, freshly baked.

A teacake to us is always a barm with currants toasted.

Funny that. I'll need to explore - I didn't realise!
