“a greasy chip butty” ….

 

[AdamStag]

Noone here says Breadcake do they? Those people are the real wrong uns.

Its a Bap

I’ve had 20 years of folk here trying to tell me it’s a barmcake! The cob crusade continues

 

[AdamStag]

Yep, what I want to know is whether or not Adam Stag goes with his native cob or has he been Manc'd to the point that it's a barm?

Good lord no.

Not having any of that.

 

[Gladders]

It's a (bread) Bun and you use it to make a chip butty or stick a fishcake in it

End thread

 

[EnglishRed]

Bap, Barm, Batch, Cob, Roll, Bun etc etc are all fine regional variations.

But it is not a Cake. I think we can all agree that, unless your birthdays were very very disappointing.

The big question looms.

Is it a penny floater or a flyaway?

If any of Dale, Oldham or Bury were still here, they'd tell you that north of the city centre it's called a "muffin".

Perhaps this explains why they're all where they are

You are right it is not a cake. I was a baker back in my early working life and I can confirm a Cob is either a small round loaf of bread or it could be a small bread roll. Both are known as cobs.

A mate in middlewich (near crewe) calls a. cob a batch. There’s a new one

my mum lives in Middlewich and calls it a bun.....

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

My first job as a kid was in Middlewich and for the 5 years I worked there, we used to regularly go the local bakery for a bacon bap. Never heard it called anything else bar a bacon butty.

Wherever I've lived/worked in Cheshire be it Crewe, Nantwich, Middlewich, Chester, Macclesfield etc it's always a bap round here. Never heard batch or bun.

When I lived in Manchester though barm was definitely the word and when I lived down South it was "roll".

Roll on the football season!

I work in a Bakery and here our buns/cobs/baps are called rolls.

Teacake.

Teacake.

Oh is that what they were all talking about, I thought this was a foreign language section on the forum I’d stumbled on.

 

[EnglishRed]

A teacake has currants in it.

 

[GTFCfish]

If we’re talking teacakes then Tunnocks is the elite name here.

 

[Indian Dan]

Large baps are my favourite.

I mocked someone earlier for saying ‘bread cake’ does it have candles, then realised it’s actually called a tea cake and had to keep quiet.

Who the hell eats a chip butty with a toasted current bun (Teacake)??
