What do you call bread?

When used as a filling holder?!

I’m in the west mids and my colleagues (from the north west and east mids) wet themselves every time I order a sandwich for lunch and call it a bap, as in ‘I’m having bacon baps!’

Everyone I know round here calls them baps...

Depends where I was living at the time, so either rolls or cobs.

PurpleDaisies · 12/05/2019 12:12

A bap is a roll. Two pieces of bread with a filling make a sandwich.

Bluntness100 · 12/05/2019 12:13

A roll or a sandwich.

Seeline · 12/05/2019 12:13

A bap is a soft floury white roll.

Two pieces of bread around a filling is a sandwich.

ILoveDaveGrohl · 12/05/2019 12:13

2 piece of warburtons for instance with filling = a butty

Soft bread roll = a barm

Crusty bread roll = a cob

I call it a roll.

Have a lovey Yorkshire friend who calls it a ‘bread cake’, which I just love ❤️

I've never heard anybody ever say "I need to buy a loaf of bap". It's bread. A bap or roll is a bread bun. Two different things.

DontTouchMyCurls · 12/05/2019 12:17

And bread makes a sandwich

NaiceHamPlease · 12/05/2019 12:18

It's deffinately a Batch.

floraloctopus · 12/05/2019 12:18

It depends on the sort of bread - a roll, a tortilla, a baguette, a sandwich.
A cob is a horse.

GottenGottenGotten · 12/05/2019 12:18

a sandwich is sliced bread with a filling

a bap is what I would call a roll.

so are you having bacon rolls or a bacon sandwich?

BettyJune07 · 12/05/2019 12:20

Two slices make a sandwich or a piece if you're one of my Scottish relatives.

A roll is a cob, I'm from the Midlands but theres all kinds of variations for it round here!

The great British bread debate Grin

StayAChild · 12/05/2019 12:21

Yorkshire here .....

We either have a filling on a brown or white tea cake or a sliced bread sandwich.

DaanSaaf · 12/05/2019 12:22

A butty

DanielRicciardosSmile · 12/05/2019 12:22

It's a cob here.

PatriciaHolm · 12/05/2019 12:23

A sandwich. A bap is a round roll. Southern here!

DanielRicciardosSmile · 12/05/2019 12:24

Unless you mean sliced bread in which case it's a sandwich. Or butty if it's bacon.

Bbang · 12/05/2019 12:25

@HBStowe I’m from Yorkshire and I honestly didn’t realise until I went down south that ‘bread cake’ is a regional thing 😅 everyone looked at me like I’d gone mental until I said ‘you know a bread cake like a burger bun but not’ 😍

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 12/05/2019 12:27

This reminds me of a post a while back where the poster called a cup of tea a "brew". Which is fine in itself if that's a term you use, but it had been used about a thousand times in one post so it looked really really contrived!

(Whereas people might say cup of tea, cuppa, drink etc rather than the same word every single time)

Sirzy · 12/05/2019 12:27

Do you mean a barmcake?

Otherwise when it’s just bread it’s a sandwich

HennyPennyHorror · 12/05/2019 12:27

As others have said...a bap's a roll....sliced bread is a butty or a sandwich.

HennyPennyHorror · 12/05/2019 12:28

Buzz I remember that post! I HATE "Brew" so it really wound me up!

ginghamstarfish · 12/05/2019 12:29

In Lancashire it was a barmcake when I was a kid ...

Ronsters · 12/05/2019 12:30

Sliced bread is a sandwich,
Bread cake is a round roll.
To me, a tea cake has currents in it and is toasted
I'm in w Yorks
