Barm cake

Or a roll if I'm not in the northwest

 

[Horners]

My parents both dyed in the wool sandgrounders and growing up in our house the words barmcake and bun were used interchangeably. So if I was having a bacon for breakfast I might get asked if I wanted it in bread or a bun notwithstanding that the final article was referred to as a bacon barmcake.

Hopefully that clears things up.

Had plenty of these baps in SE9.

What would the queen call it? A bread roll. Therefore that's the correct answer. None of this vernacular nonsense.

For those calling it a barm cake (btw, a cake is sweet) does the name change once it has a filling or do you ask for "a cheese and pickle barm cake" in a shop?

I would say bread roll, a cob is a coburg, as in a cob loaf.
To Make a Coburg (or Cob) Loaf.

You can leave off the "cake" part when ordering in a shop. "Bacon barm", for example.

This thread needs moving to the Bridge as tempers will flair here. If you call it wrong in some bakers the assistant will assume your speaking another language.

 

[Gerryjo]

If it's sweet it's not a BAP it's a BUN.

We're dead progressive where I live; being a costal community, we get all sorts of strange foreign types visiting from far flung places such as Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and (boo!) Yorkshire, and they are all welcome. So you can happily walk into a local retailer of fine food and ask for a 'ham cob' or 'chese bun' or what have you , and walk out with the correct food item as we strive to understand your funny foreign language. We don't get offended when you add a totally unnecessary 'me duck' on the end.

However, if you came into the said shop asking for any type of 'cake' you would get a cake. Not a friggin bread roll. Ok?

Where I grew up in the Midlands it was a cob (crusty) or a bap (soft). When I was student in Sheffield it was a breadcake, but wasn't it larger and flatter? Then when I worked in Huddersfield for a while (where the grass is black as someone told me before I went) I found teacakes which was a breadcake with fruit. And I worked in the Potteries for a while and they may also have called it a barm cake, and the local delicacy - apart from oatcakes - was to fill one with cholesterol boosting bacon and cheese with butter or more likely margarine. But down in the SE it seems to be just a boring old bread roll.

... No! ... EVERYONE knows that for ANY sort of bread, whatever shape, sort or texture it had beforehand, however ANYONE chose to refer to it beforehand ... as soon as it has a filling, it's a "BUTTY"

Cheers, PhilB

In the wonderful land of 'Ull they are known as breadcakes.

And if you put a patty in a breadcake here it turns into a patty butty!
If you put bacon or sausages or even both in a breadcake it then becomes a sausage, bacon or sausage and bacon sarnie!

Magic eh?

Butties are made from sliced bread, you've misunderstood somewhere along the line.

 

[samale]

The first one for me is a crusty Bap. Fill it with what ever you want. Sausage bap, bacon bap, breakfast bap. The list is end list

 

[samale]

@Gerryjo one I think is unique to where we both live. I haven't seen it anywhere else.

 

[An Ankoù]

Your wife is correct it's a batch, I was dragged up in Warwickshire.

It's a batch of bread rolls.
I'd never heard the word "bap" until I went to Wales.
