Bread Rolls

[anti-pacer]

One thing that did confuse me when I first moved to Nottingham was the fact I cant get a chip butty anywhere. I can get a chip cob but not a butty.

Oh now, you're opening a new can of worms here Deltic!

Cobs, barms, baps, breadcakes, rolls ..... and the strangest one of them all to me... BATCH!

To me it's a bap.

They say nothings divides as much as a common language! As I understood it a tea cake is a sort of bun with currents in it, so you can understand why I was taken aback when I saw on the menu of the chippy just across the road from Haworth station on the K.W.V.R. "Tea Cake with Chips!" It turn out to be a Balm cake type chip butty
As regards to Rock Salmon, I also know it as, Huss, Dutch Eel, anyone else know it by other names?

There's probably a whole other thread's worth of material on "what is a bread roll called" (stottie, cob, balm, teacake, morning roll)!

But, but, but a teacake has currants in. The rest I can cope with.

Following on from the 'Fish & Chips' thread http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=92082 , I've split out a few bits referring to bread rolls (as I call them!) - if you don't know what I'm talking about, please see the attached picture.

Discuss what you call them...

I call bread rolls a waste of food - bread is for eating, not for rolling on.

Them's just rolls. They come soft and crusty (or 'well done') but 'rolls' is what they is

 

[ScottishIain]

To me a roll is a roll & nothing else.

 

[yorkie]

That's a bread roll, but if someone called them a bap I'd know what they meant.

Certainly not breadcake - which is a cake! I know some people say it's a Yorkshire thing to call them breadcakes, but I've never actually heard anyone say that.

 

[Jordy]

It's a bun.

 

[CallySleeper]

I'll ge' a chip cob wit' minty peas please duck.

 

[37372]

It's a breadcake, don't listen to what yorkie says! It's a South Yorkshire/Sheffield thing. A bun is sweet!

 

[theblackwatch]

A bun is sweet!

I agree, here's an example:

We might need a thread on buns next...

 

[Jordy]

Buns can be sweet yes, for example a Belgian Bun which is clearly just a bun with currents, icing and a cherry! What theblackwatch has posted is a cake!

I'd call them a bread roll, although having family from Mansfield I hear it being called a bread cobb a lot. If I very rarely will have one of those things with something on, say chips, I'll have a 'Chip butty'.

A real teacake is chocolate covered marshmallow.

I adore seeded bread rolls.

I was once in London early one morning and went to a breakfast cafe and asked for a Bacon Butty. The woman behind the counter looked at me blankly and had no idea what I was on about.

Bread only rolls if you push it down a hill.

But why do some folk call rolls 'bread rolls'? Would they call a loaf a 'bread loaf'?

 

[ATW Alex 101]

This is what I call the following:
(some largish images)

Bun

Cake

Muffin

Gets on my wick when people call these muffins!

Teacake

Gets on my wick when people call these teacakes! WTF?!

This is what I know as a barm

Bread roll

Bread

Bun

I've never known anyone call those anything other than a "Hot Cross Bun" to be honest!

 

[ainsworth74]

If we could all stop posting pictures of food that would be grand. It's far to late to for me to be getting hungry!

 

[Lrd]

Gets on my wick when people call these muffins!

They are definitely muffins.

This is what I know as a barm

That's more of a roll to me, or crusty roll as the link says.

This is a bap to me:

 

[Mojo]

They are definitely muffins.

As in Double Sausage and Egg McMuffin

Mmmm… the English muffin, oh how I adore them. You're making me hungry for them now.

As in Double Sausage and Egg McMuffin

That, on the other hand, I do not associate with delicious food and I could happily ignore, particularly as I don't like eggs.

No mention of the Essex Huffer (until now). A large triangular roll that will certainly fill you up at lunch time. And no I hadn't heard of it either until I moved to the more idyllic pastures of rural Essex.

 

[theblackwatch]

But why do some folk call rolls 'bread rolls'? Would they call a loaf a 'bread loaf'?

So we know they aren't sausage, swiss or spring ones!

Meanwhile in this part of S Yorks, there's also the scuffler, a sort of wide flat bread roll usually with bacon/eggs/hot breakfast.
And where is the linguistic dividing line between Manchester's barm cake and Leicester's barm?

They are separated by a no-mans-land of Cob in Derbyshire.

Since this subject was split off, anyone know what they used to call a Candle Box Loaf in East Sussex is known as now days?
