Pasty barm


A pasty barm is a delicacy native to Bolton, a town in Greater Manchester in North West England. The pasty barm consists of a buttered barm cake with a pasty as the filling.
The snack was supposedly invented by Bolton schoolboys in the 1950s as a "cheap dinner". In 2010 it was voted as Bolton's favourite snack in the local newspaper Bolton News. In 2012 Pakistani boxer Amir Khan mentioned plans to introduce his American fiancee to "a pasty barm, fish and chips – maybe even an ice cream if she's lucky".
