Is císte é an bairín breac. Arán giosta ina bhfuil sabhdánaigh agus rísíní is ea é. Is císte de chineál Éireannach é agus dlúthbhaint aige le hOíche Shamhna. Bhíodh sé de nós fáinne a chur ann. An té a gheobhadh an fáinne, deirtí go raibh sé le pósadh go luath.

Luaitear bairín breac in amhrán de chuid Van Morrison, "A Sense of Wonder":

Pastie suppers down at Davey's chipper
Gravy rings, barmbracks

Wagon wheels, snowballs.

Luann James Joyce in Dubliners é chomh maith. Seo sampla ón ngearrscéal Clay:

The fire was nice and bright and on one of the side-tables were four very big barmbracks. These barmbracks seemed uncut; but if you went closer you would see that they had been cut into long thick even slices and were ready to be handed round at tea.
