What Is A Bap And How Is It Different From A Burger Bun? (mashed.com)

What Is A Bap And How Is It Different From A Burger Bun? - Mashed

One of Great Britain's most notable bread rolls is the bap. You may have noticed that they look like hamburger buns. Are baps actually burger buns?

Those who claim it's a roll, what do you ask for when you go into a cafe and want a sausage cob??

A roll and sausage. You'd have to say if you wanted link sausages or Lorne sausage here though.

A sausage roll.

Or a sausage in a roll if they sell both types.

A bap. Quadruple the size and it would be a Belfast bap🤣

I'd ask for a sausage butty. Or sausage sarnie. Or just a sausage in a bread cake.

Perfectly said.

Show quote history

I agree
Technically a bap is a bit flatter and floury though.
Breadcake? -get away!

Thanks

Why has no one given the correct answer which is of course

Batch

I don't know - I've lived in so many places that all call them different things!

So I just try to never mention them by name - unless I happen to want one, in which case I just call it whatever it says on the menu- which is currently likely to be "cob".
