In Oldham it's a muffin.

In Salford Manchester etc it's a barm.

I asked for a chip muffin in a Swinton chippy when I was a teen and the full que behind me laughed then the lady behind the counter asked me if I ment that I wanted chips on a cake which was met with more laughter.

It was once my Twitter header, before I quit Elton Pong's midlife crisis: "Nobody cares what they call a bread roll where you come from, engagement miner".

Even more pressing can you define a split and a babbies Y’ed

Well that's not a barm it's a roll. A barm is a flatter bread product.

As is a bap and stotty , nothing....but nothing beats a Yorkshire Flatbread , flatter and about six times the size of the one in  pic.

I've always called it a breadcake, don't know if that's the common name for it round here but that's the word in the Goose Nest.

It is known as a Dinner Roll, see link

Same in our residence. And a scuffler is slightly larger, more square in shape with a dusting of flour - perfect for a sarnie.

[Gerrumonside ref]

All wrong, it’s a flourcake.

At a push, that could be called a bap, but it looks to be too light, fluffy and horror of horrors, conjoined - NO, just NO  Bread rolls have crunchy crusts.  c.f. Lidl bread rolls.

Barm cakes are much flatter, typically 10 cm or more in diametter, and have a heavier, moister and more substatial texture and a light dusting of flour. Accept no substitutes.

...and don't get me started on pies, either.

Accreditiation:  My late in-laws were bakers, confectioners and outside caterers with  5 shops in Hindley, Leigh and Salford.

That's one for laying down and avoiding.  

[Kayakman]

Over here in the colonies we call it a 'bun'.

[JohnM]

An English muffin is a small, round and flat yeast-leavened (sometimes sourdough) bread which is commonly 4 in (10 cm) round and 1.5 in (4 cm) tall. It is generally split horizontally and served toasted.

Chips peas and a steak pudding. 

[bobbruce]

I use the terms barm but am currently forced to say roll as I’m working in London. 

[GURNER]

it's a cob, 

[JohnM]

Wow! That's a term I've not heard for many years. My mum used to call them that

[Fly-By-TheWire]

It's a batch here in South Cheshire, but up in Warrington it's a Barm.   A 'cob' is crusty I think?   I'd eat a cob with soup, but I wouldn't cut it in half and put a filling on it.

[Mumby Magic]

On all honestly I call it allsorts primarily Bread Roll or Teacake.

Batch in Coventry too. Both soft and crusty. 10 miles away in Leicestershire  ( and Derby ) it's a cob.

What is the correct name?.....All of them.

Thats one of the beauties of Engish. Like Jetties, Alleys, Ginnels etc ( Coventry it's an Entry).

TIG, TAG  ? In Coventry  its Tig and the attacker is " On", and if a defender needs needs a break he calls " crease"

Viva la difference.

Any other local terms we can share?

Here are some things that I noticed when I came to Coventry from Barrow in the '50's

                                      Barrow.          Coventry

*Running shoes.          Galoshes.          Pumps 

*Rutabaga  ( U.S)       Turnip.              Swede

Liquorice.                   Spanish.             Liquorice 

Potatoes.     Bought by the ( half)stone.  Bought by the lb

Bits of batter.           Bits                         Scratchings.         

A Scottish family I knew from Glasgow  called Pop " Ginger"

*Both have different meanings
