    Bacon roll, or bacon cob

    Now I'm a born and bred Southerner, and it's always and always will be a bacon roll to me.

    But now I've adopted the Midlands as my hometown. I'm have a daily argument with these weird people that insist they are called bacon cobs....

    To be honest I've never heard the expression bacon cob before I moved here!


    So seeing we have a mixture of people here, what do you call your bacon 'roll'?

    I don't eat bacon, or any part of a pig, the smell of it cooking seriously makes me gag



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    It's not called a cob in this part of the Midlands.

    When I lived in Lancashire they referred to rolls as barmcakes.

    Here's the official answer

    A sarnie is just short for sandwich, i.e. two slices of bread, nothing to with rolls or cobs

    Here in the "Black Country" everyone knows its a Cob, How long has Brum been part of the Midlands ? as you know Jamie, Brum and The Black Country are Chalk & Cheese.

    Its a bit like Council House Milk, otherwise known as "Stera" short for sterilised milk, when I was a kid, and helped the local Milkman, I think more than 60% of deliveries were "Stera" with Gold Top, Silver Top, and other various Milks making up his load for the day.

    Baps. Bacon baps. That's the second most common name for them I've heard after bacon roll.

    I've just noticed from your location Michael that you've "crossed the border".
