I do recommened the crusty cobs from West Brom indoor market. It's the only thing worth going to West Brom for.

Here in France it is "What do you call a half-litre of beer?" Depending on the origin of your interlocutor or your geographical position, it may be one of:

- un 50 centilitres
- un distingué
- un sérieux
- un baron
- or mime the size of a big beer glass with your hands.

Une pinte for me in Paris.

I used to frequent a bar as a student where the "serieux" was a litre.

Nuneaton's food of choice is a faggot and pea batch.You need 6 fingers and toes to eat the fucker.

Real ale - check
Non league football - check.

I think we's disappointed if you didn't😉

I must confess, I thought it was something that Mr Underhill had dreamt up until you said that.

Still, can't be any worse than the curried herrings they serve over here as part of an acceptable lunch.

[Dave Cooper please]

Quite fancy the sound of curried herrings as well.

Faggot and pea batches are wonderful...especially with HP sauce.

It's still COB though.
Crusty cobs are crusty.
Soft cobs are soft.

Cob.

[bertlambshank]

It has to be Chop brown sauce on a faggot and pea batch.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Never heard of it.

Must be some inferior gunge from up north or down south.

Bread cakes in Sheffield.

Only crusty rolls can be cobs though, never soft rolls. Rules is rules. If we didn't have rules where would we be?

If memory serves stotties are a bit of a different beast.
I'm sure that a full stottie was about the size of large frisbee and could be ordered as a quarter, half or full stottie.
If it's the same thing I'm thinking off, I once had a breakfast half stottie somewhere around Byker/Wallsend.
1 sausage halved length ways, 2 rashers of bacon, a fried egg, a spoonful of beans and a spoonful of mushrooms crammed into this half stottie that had been opened up like a pitta bread.

Could barely walk afterwards.

I'm cried with laughter reading the above post!
Funny as feck.......
Nuneaton is full of funny onions, they call a cob a batch for starters.
'Beduth' or Bedrock as the locals call it, is even less civilised than Nuneaton.
Bless em all.

nuneaton not civilised? You never had a faggot and mushy pea batch from Jim's in town?

A barm cake is the more usual term for a bread roll in Lancashire.  Barm being an Old English word for yeast.
