What do you call a large soft flat Bread Roll?

Stottie2.jpg


I know in Lancashire, parts of North Cheshire it's called a Barm or Barm Cake.

I am also aware of it being called:

a Stottie in the North East
a Cob
a Bap

but what do you call it and where do you hail from?
 
A cob dammit!!!! :D From the Midlands!

And anyone who says "Batch" will feel my wrath :lol:
 
they seem to be sometimes called "Teacakes" around here too, also dont forget "Bun" and "Roll"

beaten to roll :p
 
It's a safftie (softie) here in Aberdeenshire, but we generally eat butteries (also known as rolls or rowies). Don't have any pictures. Maybe I'll get some and post a pic later. They are ace!!!!:thumbs:
 
Its a barm or a muffin. Anyone calling it anything else shall be cast into hell for all eternity (otherwise knows as the sarf of inglind)
 
My wife calls it a barm, I call it a bread roll !

Its a barm, or barm cake doncha know!! a bap is the same but smaller, a tea cake has currants in it, and a roll is longer and narrower [like a soft baguette, the sort ht dogs are served in], a cob is the same but with a crispy chewy crust, like a baguette.... tch!! As if you have to ask :naughty:
 
cob :thumbs:
 
bapps come in twos, on the front of laydees.
:)theyre called cobs. nottinghamshire lad ya know.
teacakes have currants in em.
muffins are covered in chocolate chips n stuff.
a bread roll is what happens when you drop a COB.:)
trust someone double barreled to call em rolls.(sorry paul):lol:
the debate continues.
 
Seems we're gettin' involved in a bit of a bun fight here. Sorry:D

That's the most sense that I've read in this thread.
Everything spot on, except the roll bit, theyre not *always* long...they can be small barms ;)
 
AND..............a muffin Marcel? Thats a cake!!!
 
Hey, God has spoken - them's Teacakes in Barnsley, fairly North?

Though I admit even locally a Toasted Teacake would have currants in - I know, makes no sense

I grew up on the East Coast (65 miles due East of here) where they'd be baps - go figure
 
Rolls or softies.
 
Barm (short for Barmcake)

Next time I go in the butty shop i'll ask for a Bacon "cob" and see how long it takes for me to get thrown out :p

(must remember never to buy bread when visiting the Midlands :p)
 
I called them cobs for the first 18 years of my life, then after getting laughed at for calling them that when I moved from the Midlands to Lincolnshire ... I switched to calling them rolls :lol:
 
it's a cob nottinghamshire lad

i cant remember which part of the country it was but i once asked for a cob and got a blank look ,so pointing a COB out i was told oh you mean a bread cake :shrug:

Asking a Northerner....for some reason the people down south get confused when they come up north, so they call them tea-cakes [and have current tea-cakes. This is a lot of time when you ask for a Tea-Cake in Barnsley, they'll ask if its a fruit one or not.
 
i call them stotties.. bahm cakes are what the scousers call normal bread buns(yeah i found it wierd aswell) :lol:
 
Yuz are aal southerners. The lot o'ye.

Stotties - as bought from Greggs!!! Best served withe a bit of black pudding and a bottle o'dog ;)

End of arguement.

PS - what's the difference between 'that bun' and an alsation ?

They're different breeds !!!!! (Helps if you have a Geordie accent!!).

Ha ha.
