A pasty barm cake ready to be eaten.

A pasty barm (also called a pastie barm cake or a pastie flour cake) is a delicacy native to Bolton, a town in Lancashire 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] It has been mentioned by many celebrities including the boxer Amir Khan.[2] There is also a Facebook pasty barm appreciation group.[3]
