Crusty one are Cobs,soft one Baps.

[crazycathy2]

I like them with oats or grains in them unless they are really crusty - you know the ones you bite into and bits flake off everywhere - obviously if you are well bred you would use a plate

Hiya china..

When I moved to a wee town years ago I heard of things called Americans. They are a type of bread roll that is quite sweet and flat...I used to buy a steak pasty and eat it on the American..yum

Anyhoo..

[chinadog]

Yeh and if you dont use a plate all the flakey bits go everywhere and usually down my tops and I end up picking bits out of my bra lol

[Ice.Maiden]

Cobs. : )

[chinadog]

clyd, you greedy sod..lol Only kidding sounds lovely. We went for a walk along the seafront this evening but it was so cold we ended up going into a cafe for a hot drink and we had BLT with ciabatta bread mmmm.

[Ice.Maiden]

My fave, China. I'm sure i could scoff a whole loaf of ciabatta in one go!

Nottinghamshire origin me, so I ate cobs for me snap too (and still do!).
Am I right in thinking it's barm cakes in Lancashire and tea cakes in Yorkshire?

[chinadog]

Hya Ice, Me too, they were massive as well. Im still full..haha.

[chinadog]

Hya Seven, I've only heard Barm cakes mentioned in Corrie so yeh maybe a Lancastrian thing? Snap,thats food is'nt it?

[Seventhhouse]

Hi China, yes, you take your sandwiches(or preferably cobs of course) to work in your snap tin. This was well before the days of tupperware of course!
