Here in East Anglia a round flat bread roll is a bap but in Sheffield (where I used to live) you'd occasionally hear a reference to 'cobs' but people more usually bought 'breadcakes' (which are larger, flatter and drier than our 'baps').

Those breadcakes were used to help create 'packing up' or 'snap'. (Any other local names for a packed lunch, anyone?)

My sister calls them cobs, and sheis from Mansfield!

First time my SIL asked if I wanted a cob I had no idea what she was on about.

I call them rolls though and I am from Hertfordshire, but cobs when my sister and SIL are down or I am staying with them :-)
