Bacon roll, or bacon cob

[Slip]

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

Bacon sarnie up here in 'God's Own Country' lad.

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.
