You know it! Takes some balls (sorry Luv) to get back on your feet after an injury like that mate, hopefully you're over the worst now and you can get healed up sooner rather than later.
It sounded like you was saying its a crusty cob but a soft version isn't a cob, instead a barm (wtf???). So, you call bread "cake"...?
I did, but I was just joining in and wumming a bit. Yes, a barm-cake is bread, for the reasons outlined above. We don't apply it to loaves or nudgers or other shapes of dough-based comestibles.
Yep, when I was very young definitely, although it morphed into Chinese somewhere between childhood & mid teens
**** knows. I bet I could eat 3 of those beauties in a minute especially with a big slab of butter in each one!
