FabSwingers.com forum: Barm, Cob, Roll, Bap or Batch

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

Just for fun in line with the scone thread. I thought I would ask all you lovely people 'do you call it a Barm, Cob, Roll, Bap or Batch'?

Me, I have always gone with 'barm' or 'barm cake' if it's a hard one like a tiger bread, I would say 'crusty cob'.

A lot of it is regional so I'm intrigued

Bap or roll depending on the yums inside

Bacon bap, sausage bap.

Cheese roll, egg roll, chicken roll.

You can't have a sausage roll because that implies a sausage yum wrapped in pastry.

Or a bacon roll because it just does not sound the same.

So bap = hot yums. Roll - cold yums

Hmmmm... I would sometimes say a bacon roll if the bacon was hot and the roll/bun isn't toasted.

All of those names are bread product specific.

Well, Warburtons call them Barm Cakes and print it on the packaging. But it is a very specific shape, colour and is traditionally cooked at the bottom is the oven, hence the full name "oven-bottom barms".
