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

A sausage/ bacon bap.
I would be a bit put out if was served in that though.
It's too small for breakfast bap

Thanks

Do people really ask for a cheese and pickle breadcake?
I get cob, bap, batch instead of roll but breadcake or teacake don't make any sense.
Nothing cakey about a plain soft roll.

What is a proper teacake with dried fruit called then ?

Thanks

A cob is crusty, a soft one is a roll or bap. A bun is sweet.

Spot on.

When in Lancs, it’s a barmcake. In London, a roll.

It's a bun - a roll is longer.

Bap. Rolls have flour on. It only becomes a bun if it has icing on.

Breadcake. Bread bun or bread roll. In a shop I'd ask for a sausage butty.

Tea cakes have fruit in you loons.
