Only a dickhead would call it something other than a cob

No option for "batch"

I refuse to vote

(and the "other" option includes the hated brummie word "cob" so i'm not picking that )

My parents are from Derbyshire so I was brought up calling them cobs.

Now I'm posh, it's a roll.

^^^^^this^^^^

Except I am not posh, I am southern.

i got thrown out of a chippy in liverpool once cause the fella thought i was asking for a chip bum - and this upset him

lived in bolton and lived in chorlton - its always been a barm to me

i know some east manchester types who insist its a muffin.


Stoke is a seriously weird place and they call it a cob or something - but they can be ignored

What do geordies and mackems call 'bread rolls' - i would imagine that geordies have some unintelligble song about it that involves 'little fishies' and ganning to batter the scottish for their crimes against bread products

Poll coming up

Muffins aren't rolls, they're muffins! Quite different. (And not the American cakes, either). Barms are badly spelled farm buildings. In Aberdeen, rolls are called softies, and butteries are called rolls. But in the real world, rolls are rolls, not buns, muffins, cobs or barm cakes.

i presume it's a contraction of oven bottom muffin, which is a (big) 'roll'. or barm cake, as they are correctly called.

 

[sojourner]

Muffin!

Fuck me that's some bump. From 2006 to 2011? First post too?

Here in W Yorks they call em tea cakes. Crazy bastards.

I asked for two cobs in a bakers in Leeds and she asked if I meant "tea cakes". I asked if they had currants in and she said no so I made the purchase.

I think "cob" may be more North Notts tho than South Yorkshire. I suppose bread roll is the more neutral phrase.

BTW, in Liverpool a chip butty was definitely called a chip barm when I lived there, so not sure where the OP is coming from with that one!

No, a bap is a punch, typically in the face. Walk into a bakers' and ask for half a dozen baps and you may lose teeth!
