Start and argument with a group of people from different parts of the UK.

Roll, batch or cob?

For me it's a batch.

I know there are other variations but let's get a majority vote and settle this

It's normally a roll if it's crusty and a bap if it's soft. A butty is made of two bits of bread rather than a single hinged one. But I don't mind if other people use other terms; I find variations in dialect and the use of colloquialisms rather endearing.

A butty is where you take a single slice of bread and fold it over the fillings.

A sandwich is where you use two.

I like that variation. Oh, and I forgot to mention in my earlier post the most important bread fact and the one that people do seem to take issue with. The bit round the edge of a slice of bread? That's the crust. The end and the beginning slices that don't have a normal crust because they are half crust? That's the nobby.

Wholeheartedly agree with all of the above. I thought my nan had invented the word nobby as people look at me strangely when I use it!

This is delightful! I'd not heard the term nobby before. The fact of it sounding slightly rude makes it all the better.

Since moving to the North West, this lost southerner is perpetually bemused by this very thing. I actually enjoy collecting new terms for the humble bread roll (can't get on board with 'tea cake' though - those things have yummy currents in).

The other North/South divide I have found is tea making - no-one likes my southern poofter tea up here.

But what they baked was crusty so that would be a cob. A barm is soft and I'm glad they put currants in their teacakes. Some crazy people in this area think teacakes are bread rolls
