The snack was supposedly invented by Bolton schoolboys in the 1950s as a "cheap dinner".[1] In 2010 it was voted as Bolton's favourite snack in the local newspaper Bolton News.[1] In 2012 Pakistani boxer Amir Khan mentioned plans to introduce his American fiancee to "a pasty barm, fish and chips – maybe even an ice cream if she's lucky".[2]
