I've just reclaimed my manliness...

So how did you lose it ?

Bought a delicious-looking artisan apple and walnut granary loaf to dunk in my soup today, but then realised that I don't have a bread knife at work.

So I cut it using a large wood saw... And I've never felt so manly!

That's all.


Next it'll be quiche... 😐

Cut with a jigsaw.

A bap is a scottish term for a normal bread roll, no idea what a barm is though?

I live in that awkward no-mans-land of the north-west when it comes to describing those small, ovoid bread products.

Over the centuries, we've absorbed various onslaughts from the north, as Glaswegians descend on Blackpool with their deep-fried spam baps. We've repelled several advances from those tight-fisted ****s to the east, with their "tea-cakes", and we've welcomed exotic travelers from the south with their cobs and breadbuns.

So most terms are acceptable in this part of the world, but if it's floury it's a bap, and if it's crusty it's a cob.

I hope that clears things up.

Only if it's "taps aff" or a hen night.

*baps is a commonly used euphemism for breasts.It is a "pune" or play on words. See also: Diddies.
