Can only see Barm Brack which is Irish bread, but can't fit it to the clue apart from the Bar.

[Davemano]

Very good VE - a new one to me.

[vetuste_ennemi]

As a local west London boy I'm very familiar with your traditional naans and parathas, Dave, but not at all with this exotic "bara brith" stuff.

Where did that come from?

[iminoz]

Excellent, VE, thank you.

[JJ109]

Bara Brith (speckled bread) - Ir Bar reversed in Bath(buns)

We could do with a TV program along the lines of BBC2's(?) excellent "Nai Zindagi, Naya Jeevan" back in the early eighties to get us acquainted with this Welsh culture.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Anybody else remember the program. New wife and I loved it. (living in Southall at that time).

NW certainly, but whether the language was Gujarati, Punjabi, Kashmiri, or even Urdu, who knows?
