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

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.

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.

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... ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

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

Chip cob???, its a butty FFS. ๐Ÿ˜†

In Barnsley its a teacake, and no, it's not got currants or raisins in it - that would be a currant teacake.

STOP THIS MADNESS.

Salford speak.

Barm - what chips go in - "can I have a chip barm please"
(a chip butty is chips betwixt to slices of Warburtons Super Toastie)

Roll - what hot dogs go in

Teacake - similar shape to a barm but with dried fruit in it. Toast and eat with with butter or Cheshire cheese

Vienna - a length of French bread to be filled with what you like - e.g. tuna salad etc..

Crumpet - blind drilled bread product to be toasted and smothered in butter and or cheese.

LOL. I do love a technical term thrown into another context.

I'll buy you a brew (for those who don't know we are in adjacent offices) if you can get Drip Ring, Grease Nipple, End Flange or Reamed in.

Not too worried, most Calderdale residents have never left there postcode area, pretty sure you would be truly lost by the time you got to Bradford, so would turn round and go home.... ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Gadda, Got to?

Yoth is indeed Youth. They'd normally be a 'me duck' added in there also.

BTW it's a chip cob at Loughborough/Leicester but family from nearer Derby so might well have come from there I suppose.

Tea Cake, that's got fruit in it!
Barm? don't you keep tractors in those, oh, sorry, I'm thinking Barn.

I LOL'd at blind drilled too.

I think once upon a time I would have said bread roll or bread bun, except when containing hot foodstuffs such as bacon or chips in which case it would have been bacon butty/chip butty.

However, in order to buy food at work I've had to embrace cob as well as fuddle and snatch! Cob day tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜€
