A pasty barm (also called a pastie barm cake or a pastie flour cake or a Wigan kebab) 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 (standard meat and potato) pasty as the filling.
The snack was supposedly invented by Bolton schoolboys in the 1950s as a "cheap dinner".[1] In 2010 it was voted as Bolton's favourite snack in the local newspaper Bolton News.[1] In 2012 boxer and Bolton native Amir Khan mentioned plans to introduce his American fiancée to "a pasty barm, fish and chips – maybe even an ice cream if she's lucky".[2]
