Pasty barm

A pasty barm (or pastie barm) is a delicacy native to Bolton, in Lancashire. The pasty barm consists of a buttered barm (sometimes called barm cake) with a (standard meat and potato) 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, Bolton-born boxer Amir Khan mentioned introducing his American fiancée to the pasty barm during a visit to England.
