Abarm cake is a soft, round, flattish bread roll from North East England, it’s actual name is a tea cake. (Told you Danielle)traditionally leavened with barm.[1][2][3][4]
Chips are a popular filling, sold in most fish and chip shops in the North East of England and often called a chip barm.[5] Another popular filling in the North East, particularly Durham, is the pasty barm.[6]InWigan, a whole savoury pie is served in a barm cake, known locally as a "Wigan Kebab".[7]
In August 2020 the Grand Ancient Order of Froth Blowers adopted the Barm Cake as an official icon of the order.[8]
