Call it what you may. Its not a Roll, balm etc etc. Its a cob. As a nottingham lad its all i know it as so when i am on my travells and fancy some chips with bread i ask for a chip cob,
I have had lots of funny looks and many times had to explain what it is i require. Don’t get me started on fritters
A up mi duck. can i av a chip please… and then it all begins pmsl. Right its time to take cover.
You forgot the daftest one of all, batch. I’m from the Black Country and we say cobs too round here.
Something else I’ve noticed on my travels is having to ask for salt n vinegar on chips instead of them asking you. Curry houses round here all give free popadoms too, don’t see much of that outside the Black Country.

A few miles across at Newcastle it’s a Stottie but a bit bigger.
The Stottie i remember them a full English in a bun all for £2-3 from many layby vendor and f*** ing good too mate it was nearly the size of a sprinter steering wheel and the amount of bacon, sausage, eggs mushrooms and beans that was in-between it made you wonder how they made any profit
, ok it maybe wasn’t the best quality but it was tasty and acceptable

A teacake? That a thing you put under a grill for about 10 seconds and cover in rum butter…I miss that stuff!
When I was growing up in penrith at least we called the chip thing a chip butty but maybe the chip shop people just thought we were foreigners, eg from alston.
