Teacake has your definition unless you're from Burnley, in which case what you're describing is a fruit teacake. Without the fruit it's what I call a bap or a barm. Look at the study cited in the article.
- jwdunne 8y agoNo hahaha. It's a common joke. Often see things like this making the rounds on social media: https://images1.memedroid.com/images/UPLOADED18/5089de6227904.png https://images1.memedroid.com/images/UPLOADED18/5089de622790... If I post that, I can guarantee there'll be mock debate along with a few Americans scratching their heads. It is, for better or worse, a joke. For such light hearted jest - it's bread - I wouldn't have expected so much seriousness for an equally light hearted regional perspective.
