What is a bacon barm? Is it a popular dish in english-speaking countries?
 
I've never heard of it.
 
There are a number of restaurants/diners named "Bacon Barn". I have never heard a dish named that.

I suppose it could be a slang name for a building to house pigs on a farm.
 
It's "barm" with an em.

Apparently it is a type of roll/bun made originally with yeast skimmed off the top of fermenting beer or liquor.

So, it's a regional name for a sandwich in parts of England made with this type of roll.

I thought it was a typo. :-?
 
I would happily kiss a woman wearing bacon lip balm. :-D
 
I'd rather kiss a slice of bacon.:-D

I just learned about "butty" a couple years ago from a TV show.

I was going to comment about all the weird names you guys come up with for sandwiches, but then I remembered we have hoagies and grinders and po' boys over here.
