Master Fox Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Cob is the word I associate with Leicester more than any other because it is only used there. Go into a bakery anywere else and ask for a cheese cob and they will look at you as if you are completely bonkers. I love it. It's special and unique
Cat Burger Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Cob is also used in Nottingham, I live near a shop called the Cobfather.
Master Fox Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Cob is also used in Nottingham, I live near a shop called the Cobfather. I always thought it meant corn on the cob or Gypsy Cobs (Horse) Please arrive early at the Walkers stadium where gypsy horses will be served .........
Foxes 2 da grave Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Cob is also used in Nottingham, I live near a shop called the Cobfather. Does the cobfather sell cobs though and if so is it like a pick and mix cob shop ran by the CobFather or is just a fat lad with a few sidekicks running notts and hustling cobs
Manwell Pablo Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Cob is also used in Nottingham, I live near a shop called the Cobfather. That should win some sort of award. Like best named...thing.....ever. Think they call them Cobs in Derby as well.
OriginalRobboFOX Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 That should win some sort of award. Like best named...thing.....ever.Think they call them Cobs in Derby as well. I believe the 'Cobfather' has attempted to steal Thurmastons 'Codfather' (fish and chip shop) thunder.... #Same old Nottingham always cheating#
Kent Fox Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Cob is the word I associate with Leicester more than any other because it is only used there. Go into a bakery anywere else and ask for a cheese cob and they will look at you as if you are completely bonkers. Always good for a laugh in the likes of Lewisham or Wandsworth. And for those who don't know, a cob MUST have a crusty top to it. Soft rolls, baps, etc are not cobs - they are unique. God, I miss Leicester
Bellend Sebastian Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 That should win some sort of award. Like best named...thing.....ever.Think they call them Cobs in Derby as well. When you get as far as north as Sheffield, they definitely think you're a mental if you ask for one
Stuliasz Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Cob is most definitely Leicestershire and maybe stretching slightly further through the East Midlands. I got ridiculed to hell even in Sheffield from housemates, old ladies in bakeries etc. for using the word. Back on topic, get Teymourian in!
FrankieWorthoYaggedMyWife Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 I believe the 'Cobfather' has attempted to steal Thurmastons 'Codfather' (fish and chip shop) thunder....#Same old Nottingham always cheating# ther is a codfather in Hinckley, did the Thurmaston shop steal the name or is some Russian tycoon behind taking over the fish and chip world?

Soft rolls, baps, etc are not cobs - they are unique. God, I miss Leicester Good observation. A cob must be crusty. I can deal with people calling them rolls, baps etc but not anything with cake in it. A cob is most definately not a cake.
Stuliasz Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Good observation. A cob must be crusty.I can deal with people calling them rolls, baps etc but not anything with cake in it. A cob is most definately not a cake. Hmm thats a debatable one for me. Incidentally, 'soft cobs' are known as breadcakes in Sheffield.
mancunianfox Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Hmm thats a debatable one for me. Incidentally, 'soft cobs' are known as breadcakes in Sheffield. Breadcake just sounds confused. Besides bread is made from dough and a cake isn't. You just can't have a bread cake.
dandannieldanok Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 teymourian would be an excellent signing, really hope it is true. As for Moore....can't say I'd be too bothered if he came or not...
lookwhaticando Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Cob is the word I associate with Leicester more than any other because it is only used there. Go into a bakery anywere else and ask for a cheese cob and they will look at you as if you are completely bonkers. 'cept the rest of the Midlands, of course. Think they call them Cobs in Derby as well. Having lived in Derbyshire for 4 years during my formative years, I can confirm that Cob is commonly used by commonfolk in Derby. That applies to Derbyshire as a whole... go up t' peak district and it's all about the cheese cobs. teymourian would be an excellent signing, really hope it is true. As for Moore....can't say I'd be too bothered if he came or not... What's that got to do with regional dialect pertaining to the consumption of sandwich-like goodies?
teblin Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Further afield i have been informed the "a cob" can also be female genitalia. So be careful when you say "those cobs smell nice"!
lookwhaticando Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 On the subject of mardy, a good alternative to mardy is to say so-and-so has "got a cob on". What's wrong with Megson tonight? 1) "He's just being a mardy git" 2) "He's got a cob on about summat" :D
Bellend Sebastian Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 I can deal with people calling them rolls, baps etc but not anything with cake in it. A cob is most definately not a cake. What about Kendal Mint Cake? There's no cake in that. Just a truckload of sugar. And some mint. Oooh, it's a minefield this, innit? I wonder if they have cobs in Kendal?
The People's Hero Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Cheesecake does have cheese in though. And is a cake. So are we agreed that it's quite a good name?
Fez of Mahrez Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 hello there my fellow iraniansi have been on leicestres leading fansite to check about andranik and hav found out they also call bread rolls cobs!! like in iran!!
Joe. Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Teymourian would be a great signing. Just begs the question whether he'd actually like to come

daveyboy Posted 2 October 2007 Posted 2 October 2007 Teymourian would be a great signing. Just begs the question whether he'd actually like to come He'd love it, he'd have a friend in Kaebi!
