Yes and oven bottomsDoes anyone use baps?
My dad always says cob! He lived in Streetly as a kid.~Yep it's north / east midlands - derbyshire, notts, leicestershire thing. I only learnt about it when I came to Nuneaton, 10-15 miles further south where I grew up in Solihull , it was either a cob, or a roll, never a batch. I've only recently given in to actually using it myself. To me a batch was a whole tray or collection of baked goods - ' a batch of twelve iced buns'
Yup!
He is quite the athlete , this photo is rare because he is actually walkingLovely photo @kateincornwall , one to look back at in many years to come. That lad of yours (not Silas) is still on VERY long legs, by jove, what a gymnast he must be.
A cob is always crusty, that is definitely true.It's a bap or a barm cake (the latter being the bigger of the two). They are both round and soft crusted. A cob has a hard crust. A roll is not round. A roll is what you had Natalie.
But a tea cake is toasted with raisins in it, and has butter spread on it once hot and sliced in half?Oven bottom, bap, or tea cake round here! Roll where I come from originally.
ooh, it's a world apart. though maybe not - OH has a job interview at Oadby on wednesday, not that far from you, I think?We call them long crusty ones torpedos
will do. he doesn't especially like people much anyway so always kept his distance pre-corona.Yep just up the road. Posher than Wigston. Tell him not to touch anyone or anything
