Re-written to take emphasis off northern England definition -- this is now one (long!) paragraph. Hopefully removed some ambiguity about which kind of teacakes are being referred to (see below).

The current description doesn't seem to include things like [1]. --Ptcamn 21:56, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

That is, I believe, a teacake as the term is understood in Australia. Have added a short description. Have also removed this

It may also be served sliced in half and filled with chips, as a chip butty (french fry sandwich).

which I frankly don't believe (there's no accounting for tastes, but chips in a sweet, fruited bun??) -- the writer was probably thinking more of a barm cake / cob / bap / batch (take your regional pick). -- Picapica 21:07, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I've deleted the part about a "world-wide accepted definition" for tea cake, since the rest of the article shows that there is a wide variety of regional recipes. AutumnKent

[edit] Candy

I removed this: "Another, unrelated British confection is known as a "chocolate teacake": see main article at Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats" because the information is already in the hatnote (although it goes to a specific popular brand). If you want something like this (to direct to this link), then I don't think that sticking it in the middle of the article is the best choice. Perhaps a ==see also== section?

[edit] Merge with Russian tea cake

The Russian tea cake article is a stub and does not present sufficent information to stand on its own. Because it describes a particular type of tea cake, it should be merged into this article. Neelix (talk) 22:47, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
