I love winding the Mrs up by referring to Teacakes over here in Bolton. They're barms over here, and similar to the "barm" is the "flour cake". I actually managed to prove a point last year when the canteen where we both worked had a big bag of "Hollands Teacakes" behind the counter and not a currant in sight:)

I allways thought the difference between a Tea-cake and a muffin was that a muffin is a bit bigger and has a dimple in the middle.

Another which causes confusion is mincemeat .....it can either be ground meat (beef, pork etc.) or the sweet stuff made of fruit used in pies at Christmastime

I used to buy mixed vegetables when I lived in Accy to make broth, they were tied with string around them and referred to as a "Broth Posy". I moved to Bury and I couldn't get a broth posy for love nor money, but what they did have was "Pot Herbs", which were the same thing but cut up in little pieces and placed in a plastic bag, but they dont include a sprig of thyme as the broth posy in Accy.
