What do you call bread?

[Oohgossip]

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.

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

A roll or a sandwich.

A bap is a soft floury white roll.

Two pieces of bread around a filling is a sandwich.

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.

And bread makes a sandwich

It's deffinately a Batch.

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

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?

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

Yorkshire here .....

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

A butty

It's a cob here.

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

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

@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’ 😍

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)

Do you mean a barmcake?

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

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

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

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

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

Henny I'm with you!!
