Does anybody remember

Stop this right now.

I’m from Manchester and I remember all these and you are making my mouth water just thinking about these treats!

I recall donkey's lugs.
About six buns in a circle but they were teardrop shaped, rather like donkey's ears.

Must be a Manchester thing.
In Yorkshire we had (have) Bilberry Tarts which sound a bit like your Wimberry Tarts. You can collect the Bilberries from the moors towards the end of July. The tarts are delicious either open with whipped cream or as a pie with custard. Left your teeth and lips purple though.
We had (have) iced buns some used to call Sally Lunns, which are fingers of soft bread with icing on top only. These are often split and spread with butter.
I haven't heard of Honey buns though they sound nice.

Had Sally Lunn spread with butter when I was at college in Bradford. Delish!

Oh, bilberry tarts, yes please! And Devonshire splits, with jam and cream inside. Stop it now, I'm on a fast day!

Arent bilberrues and whimverrues the same thing? Xx

I don't remember any of those delights!

Yes, kittylester, whinberries and bilberries are the same thing. I used to pick bilberries for my mother to make a pie and it took hours to get enough as they are so tiny.

They turn your mouth purple, but a delicious taste quite unlike anything else.

My phone has a mind of its own!

Arent bilberries and wimberries the same thing?

Bilberries ( also known as windberries) grew on the moors in Yorkshire ( probably on lots of moors.)
Greengrocers sold them at certain times of the year, and they were stewed and served with the cream at the top of the milk bottle...yum.
You can still buy Sally Lunns ( yes, delicious split and buttered.)Also (in Yorkshire) Russian slices and curd tarts.

My grandmother made a wonderful whinberry tart. We would go up the mountain behind her house and pick a bowl full I think most of the bushes have gone now though.

Oh lemongrove warm newly baked curd tarts absolutely delicious ? 'Thomas' a famous bakers chain in Yorkshire still make the best curd tarts IMO

We used to pick bilberries on Cannock Chase. In the Black Country we got the lemon buns and also ones with coffee icing.

I do remember the buns with lemon icing on the top and Russian slices.

We also used to be able to buy tiny Hovis loaves at our local bakery for tuppence - I loved to eat them plain with no butter/

Tiny Hovis loaves!! Oh, my goodness they were wonderful sliced (for my teddy and me) spread with butter and home made Lemon Curd.

I spent hours collecting and eating Bilberries on Harden Banks and on the moors above Otley (not the Chevin) and I agree, they have a taste all their own - and one I miss very much.

In Manningham, Lambert's Bakery on Thornton Road used to make the best bread and divine cream slices which we had as an occasional treat.
Oh the days of wine and roses whinberry and Hovis.

During a wine-making phase a few years ago, I picked about 16lbs of bilberries in one day, because we had read that they make a good wine. You can imagine how long that took me!

I love bilberry pie, but prefer homemade - the bought tarts used to be too sweet for me.

Urmstongran
I love Manchester tarts but as I'm darn sarf we don't get them here!

P.S. You seem to have better cakes in t'North!

How could I have forgotten the tiny Hovis loaves? They must still have been around in the 80s as I can remember my DC loving them too.

I loved the tiny Hovis loaves. I wonder why they stopped as we do still have Hovis bread.
I've not heard of iced buns being buttered and I've never heard of any of the other cakes/buns even though my mother came from Lancashire.

My father used to take me in his lorry to Smithfield wholesale vegetable market where he sold his loads of spuds. He always bought me a Manchester tart. The other lorry drivers used to buy me Teddy bear shaped ice lollies. Never seen them anywhere else.They were lovely.65 years ago.

My mouth is watering at the thought of Whinberries, I remember them from my Yorkshire childhood, here in the South West they call them Whortleberries, NT Property Shops often have the jam on sale, it's delicious. The proper jam for a Cream Tea on Exmoor I believe.

Oh yes you must always butter the iced-buns with real butter as well not the 'margarine' fake butters. I always used the tiny hovis to make sandwiches for dolls tea parties, cute and delicious. I even used to eat them with fish or beef paste on . I would rather eat grass now than have to eat that horrible paste , I am glad to say my food palate has progressed since those days, I wouldn't mind them now with a bit of philly and smoked salmon

Confused about the Sally Lunn's: I used to work in Bath, which has Sally Lunn's bakery and tea shop (dating back to medieval times), which sells Sally Lunn buns. These are HUGE buns, which can have either sweet or savoury fillings or toppings. Usually one half of such a bun is sufficient for a meal! (I know, I have waddled out of there a few times after stuffing my face on one .....). ?
