    I've lived in Yorkshire all my life and never called it a teacake, unless it's got currants in it. Don't know any shops or cafés that call it a teacake either, unless it's got currants in it. Never lived in Barnsley though so maybe it's exclusive to there? Although the responses in this thread suggest that might not even be the case. It's a mystery.

    If you're from tarn, it's a teacake. If you're from elsewhere then I'll respect whatever you want to call it - unless you call it a roll or a f**king cob

    Is it that breadcakes are made using water and teacakes made using milk and water? So a teacake is just a currant teacake without the fruit.

    Mr Warburton calls em fruit teacakes. Nuff said.

    Teacakes are baht fruit, fruit teacakes are with.

    Cobs are crusty things you dip in soup. Owt else is just daft.

    Me and my girlfriend have this argument on a weekly basis in the supermarket when I buy teacakes. Everyone here in Leeds calls them breakcakes and insist that a teacake has currants in it. I was always led to believe that, if it has currants in it, its a currant teacake, and without currants is just a teacake

    Get these debates a lot at work with the sheffielders. When one of them approached me with the hey dingle how would you describe a teacake,with a great smirk on his chops and all his mates smirking.
    I just said somebody from sheffield
