It's a no-grainer

Bap.

Breadcake.

It's a muffin!

It’s obviously a breadcake but in Manchester I have to choke out “barm” to be understood.

I was in Greggs the other week and I asked for a cream slice. She didn’t have a clue what I was talking about so I had to point at it. “Oh you mean a Bavarian” she says, accusingly.

What the frigg has Bavaria got to do with anything?

I'd never heard of a Bap in my life till I moved to the UL.

In Australis, they're just bread rolls! What's so hard about that?

You'll notice there are more variations in Yorkshire than anywhere else. I have a colleague from Pontefract who calls a breadcake a scuffler. In Barnsley they call a breadcake a teacake and a teacake a current teacake, which is what you should have asked for, our david.

I don’t know how widespread it was but you used to be able to get Hovis miniature loaves to eat as a single serve bread item. They were identical to a full sized Hovis loaf, including the H O V I S branding baked in. Oh yes it was a special day when the mini hovis came out. A tin of salmon might be opened and a Bird’s Trifle whisked up.

Agree. Where are you from?!

I'm South-east but maybe it shows that I don't go many places that I haven't heard it called anything than a roll.

Southern roll girl myself, though have slipped into bap territory when forgetting myself on occasion...

This really is (VW quote ahoy) my bete noire. I don’t know your specialist words Mr Gregg/person in a business. If you’d just label things properly, as per the law, we’d all know what it was. But having a jumble of useless cardboard rectangles roughly in front of your cakes helps nobody. “It is labelled” they’ll defensively whine…no, there is a label for it on display. Big difference. It may as well be next to your soup kettle for all the use it is!!!😂😂😂

I got down to the last 2 in a job at Greggs head office. For my waistline's sake thankfully I didn't get it!
