Start and argument with a group of people from different parts of the UK.
Roll, batch or cob?
For me it's a batch.
I know there are other variations but let's get a majority vote and settle this  |

It's normally a roll if it's crusty and a bap if it's soft. A butty is made of two bits of bread rather than a single hinged one. But I don't mind if other people use other terms; I find variations in dialect and the use of colloquialisms rather endearing. |

You must be from my home town because it's the only place I know that calls it that! :P |

A butty is where you take a single slice of bread and fold it over the fillings.
A sandwich is where you use two. |

I like that variation. Oh, and I forgot to mention in my earlier post the most important bread fact and the one that people do seem to take issue with. The bit round the edge of a slice of bread? That's the crust. The end and the beginning slices that don't have a normal crust because they are half crust? That's the nobby. |

Wholeheartedly agree with all of the above. I thought my nan had invented the word nobby as people look at me strangely when I use it! |

This is delightful! I'd not heard the term nobby before. The fact of it sounding slightly rude makes it all the better.  |

Since moving to the North West, this lost southerner is perpetually bemused by this very thing. I actually enjoy collecting new terms for the humble bread roll (can't get on board with 'tea cake' though - those things have yummy currents in).
The other North/South divide I have found is tea making - no-one likes my southern poofter tea up here. |

"It's a cob!
Paul Hollywood said so on GBBO "
But what they baked was crusty so that would be a cob. A barm is soft  and I'm glad they put currants in their teacakes. Some crazy people in this area think teacakes are bread rolls  |
