...what do you call the humble recipient of tasty, savoury fillings?

Just been tweeting a very confused Michael Barrymore who is currently wrestling with the same topic while out and about in Yorkshire

A breadcake is what you make sandwiches with.

Cob = hard bread roll
Barm = soft bread roll
Bap = soft bread roll
Teacake = sweet, fruit bread roll


In That London= all of the above but add £2.50.

Anyone who doesn't just call it a bread roll is a dirty northern monkey...

A breadroll is what you put a hotdog in!

We simply call bread roll a roll. You simply say if you want if soft, hard, well fired, floury, bran, whatever. No fancy names for a simple basic food!

Do not ever call at a chippy in West Yorkshire, you would have a big surprise as I did when I moved here from the "civilised" more southern areas

A quaint expression for scones and muffins etc. here is 'tea bread'. My Granny used it.

Pćo. Sometimes pćo francźs, sometimes pćo de sal, but always pćo.

It annoys me intensely as it's not the easiest word to pronounce.

Stotty is a large breadbun up here in Yorkshire, or a bap.

A teacake has fruit in it but lovely for toasting!

I don't care what you call it - I love the humble sandwich however you describe it!

Looks like Scotland is the same as Essex then.

OK, we are going to have to be more specific if we are going to nail this one for posterity.

Bread rolls - Poole, Dorset
Batch Cakes - Chester, Cheshire
Tea Cakes - Huddersfield, West Yorkshire

Definitely a roll, isn't that what they are called on the packets? Or are the labels changed for different regions?

Barm here

I got such a strange look when I asked for a chip barm in Stoke that I just stick to roll out of Lancashire.
