Not sure what the swear filter has against b a r m cakes

This is going to sound like one of Sandro's flights into the absurd, but...

Many years ago, before my time, there was a discussion on the sin bin or possibly VT, and somebody mentioned in passing a bread product. Whether it was a bap, a bun, a barm, a bread cake, cob, roll, teacake or muffin i don't know. Somebody from another part of the M62 corridor challenged their usage, other people weighed in, it got heated, passions overspilled and it all spiralled out of control. ever since then bready nomenclature has been something of a taboo topic.

Seriously.

I think, one of my most missed posters of The Team Pigs board, vbfg, made some code that changed anything other than bread cakes into "assorted bread products".

As a teeneger, I never failed to snigger at the bakery on Rerd that advertised " Floury Baps".

Boody spell check, Steam Pigs, not Team Pigs.

Ah, good old well missed Skelton's, used to love their Viennese Swirls.

Me and my friends (well, let's say acquaintances, I obviously don't have friends) used to have a game of collecting the best named products from abroad, I once bought biscuits in France called "Bum" and I remember sweets from I think Sweden called "Zit", and something from somewhere called "Spunk", maybe Thailand...

I have photo's somewhere of "nice bloke" beer & "Minge" coffee, both from the same trip to Germany.

Obviously the swear filter has ruined that big style. I will search for evidence and return.

I'm not sure - we eat our caviar on water biscuits nowadays.

If your lot miss out on Old Trafford, we can go the farm shop together in October to investigate.
