    As per the above; tell us where you are geographically, and what you term those round, soft, baked bread-related goods that you cut in half and add savoury fillings to.

    ITS A BARM!!!! FFS!!!!! HOW MANY TIMES?!!!!!

    There’s only one benchmark test for this. Walk into a chippy in Salford and ask for a chip…. (insert word here)

    A chip teacake? I don’t think so!See what your life expectancy is after issuing that statement

    Most of those things are actually subtly (or not so subtly) different.

    A chip barm? WTF?

    A burger goes in a bun, but sandwich fillings go in a roll.

    Cheshire but with Mancunian parentage. So it’s barmcake for me, or a barm,

    Cob could be Nottingham/Mids as that’s where I live now but I wouldn’t consider myself Nottingham born and inbred by any standard.

    It’s a muffin ffs … I’m so upset that the word muffin has been stolen and is now used in place of the word cake, eg, chocolate cake.

    Here’s a logic argument for you.

    If you go into Gregg’s and order a product which is sausage meat wrapped in pastry, what do you call it?

    Now, if yopu wanted that sausage in a bread covering, you’d need another name to avoid confusion. Hence, sausage cob because a sausage roll already exists.

    Considering how regional the terms are, this could go on for a LOOONNGG time…

    Although there is a shop in Nottingham called “Pat’s Bap’s” (sic) but that’s a whole different thread.

    I’d ask for a chip cob.

    cob, isn’t that a Nottm / Midlands thing?

    I’m from Sutton-in-Ashfield orriginally, and went to school in Hucknall.

    So, yes, it is.

    Breadcake, or at a stretch, teacake.

    When I was little, growing up in East Lancashire, they were teacakes. The ones with raisins in were “fruit teacakes” as opposed to plain ones. We also had muffins, though I’m not sure exactly what the differentiation ever was; size or density, perhaps – they come out differently in different parts of the oven, giving rise to “bottom muffins” done in a Lancashire oven.

    (maybe)

    When I started Uni in Preston, everyone called them barms. I’d never come across this term before. Ex-students of a certain age will have fond memories of Mama’s Wonderbarm Shop.

    Calderdale is almost Lancashire, so really the social outcast of Yorkshire… 😯

    It can only be called BREADCAKE, anything else is just wrong.

    Chip cob???, its a butty FFS. 😆
