lou Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Cobs/rolls must have the most different regional names than anything else I think. Whereever you go they seem to have a different name for it. Caused me some problems in an Isle of Wight bakery once too. I wanted a french stick and they gave me a Bloomer loaf. They called French Sticks Bagettes! I call the short French Sticks Bagettes?! If its round & crusty its a Cob... if its round & soft its a Bap. If its soft and hot-dog shaped its a Roll. Having now read the rest of the thread.... DavieG has it spot on. (Im not taking about the lady-parts though )

lou Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 French sticks are baguettes! Nooooo French Sticks are the longer version of Baguettes!!
AoWW Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Nooooo French Sticks are the longer version of Baguettes!! Random but.... My mate's retarded Weimaraner once nicked a french stick off the kitchen work-surface. He (somewhat stoopidly) tried to carry it through to show us his 'prize' when he got the french stick firmly wedged across the doorway. He just stood there, looking a little unsure of himself by this point, and wondering why he'd suddenly lost the ability to move forwards!
Bryn Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Tend to call most things just sandwich. Would call the sort of soft round bread a bap. Here in Manc they call them Barms, fook that, stupid word. Used to call em breadcakes being from Hull but tend to call them baps now. Always say chip butty though, only thing I call a butty. Cob seems to be purely a Leicestershire thing, never heard it anywhere else. Long thin soft baguette-ish shaped things are rolls, but again would just call anything in that a sandwich.
Mickey O'Neil Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 It's a cob. End of story. I will fight and kill anybody from Yorkshire who refers to it as a 'breadcake.' In Coventry it's a batch. Manchester/Blackpool it's a fcuking barm cake or summat! Cob. End of.
Libertine Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 http://www.delicedefrance.co.uk/dynamic/img/The%20Big%20Eight%20Sausage%20Roll.jpgThis is a sausage roll. Freaks. Thank you.
Ultra Posted 24 April 2009 Posted 24 April 2009 Manchester/Blackpool it's a fcuking barm cake or summat! Correct. Cob. End of. This.
Filbert_Ross Posted 24 April 2009 Posted 24 April 2009 Cob, must be a Leicestershire thing. well done
welck12 Posted 24 April 2009 Posted 24 April 2009 Manchester/Blackpool it's a fcuking barm cake or summat! Indeed it is, sausage barm all the way
Master Fox Posted 24 April 2009 Posted 24 April 2009 I went down to London not long back and asked for a Sausage cob, she didnt have a clue what I was going on about.What do you call it? Cob or Roll? I had no idea what a cob was. It's a roll you weirdos
davieG Posted 24 April 2009 Posted 24 April 2009 I believe that the Aussies say having a 'cob on' is the equivalent to our being 'mardy'.
Leicfox Posted 24 April 2009 Posted 24 April 2009 In the North West (Blackpool) we call it a "Barm" as in Barm Cake. I've always thought its only called a Cob if its got a hard crusty top as Alex has suggested ?
lou Posted 24 April 2009 Posted 24 April 2009 I believe that the Aussies say having a 'cob on' is the equivalent to our being 'mardy'. My hubby says that too........ hes from Yorkshire
Fosse Boy Posted 24 April 2009 Posted 24 April 2009 It's a cob. I love how in the Leicestershire dialect it is technically possible to "cob a cob". All my mates think I'm mad when I use the term "chuddy" too. Didn't realise that was a regional expression though.

lookwhaticando Posted 24 April 2009 Posted 24 April 2009 a bap is soft. And usually comes as part of a pair. I believe that the Aussies say having a 'cob on' is the equivalent to our being 'mardy'. I've used that, and people from somewhere I once lived used to use it a lot, too. Derbyshire, probably.
