Baps

It's sort of like a massive carbohydrate overload. You can feel your arteries hardening. I wouldn't want to eat one regularly, but I'd have one ahead of a traditional rat meat kebab after a few beers.

Don't they used to eat pease pudding stotties in your neck of the woods? Really not that different...

Yeah, it's not the best photo.

Inside the pastry is beef, swede and potato (so a Cornish Pasty)



In a huge bread roll.

Keep a man on his feet for days.

I'm having a pasty tomorrow. There's a little shop called the cornish pod that make the best pasties in the area. They also sell a doughnut masquerading as an iced bun which is lovely.

Cornish pasties are dreadful. Dry, boring and tasteless.

There.

I said it.

I use bap and roll pretty interchangeably - to refer to the bread. A cob is a crusty version.

Once it has been made into a sandwich it's a cob regardless of the crustiness if it is cold. If it's hot, I'd probably say "bacon bap" or "sausage on a bread roll" etc., unless the bread is crusty, in which case the crustiness takes priority and its a cob again. This took a lot of thinking btw.

"Bun" is a sweet variation of a bread roll, e.g. it has currants or raisins in it or something (e.g. hot cross bun). They're like one step away from being a cake.

But like other non-psychopaths I've never heard the other four options ever except for within this exact same debate

They smell like sweat.

Yeah, proper ones are great.

A toast sandwich is a thing. Two pieces of soft bread with a toasted slice inbetween

I genuinely eat pie sandwiches. I’m sorry.

As a kid, mainly due to reasons of impoverishment, we had bread and butter with pretty much every meal.

I got into the habit of “Everything Sandwiches” - a bit of everything from your plate in folded bread and butter.

So, fish, chips and mushy peas sandwiches, and so on. Sunday roast; the lot!

The whole 'bread and butter with your tea' thing really is a true British working class institution isn't it? It was definitely a staple in my home, especially with Friday dinner from the chippy.

Have you ever had a baked potato sandwich?

This doesn't exist except maybe in a mental asylum.

I think it's basically and excuse to butter a pie.
