........ your bread or bread buns

I call my large pink knickers bloomers...always have done :-D :-D :-D

When I was at school many moons ago, we wore bloomers under our sports uniform....this was in Oz :-)

Edit... We call our bread buns, bread rolls :-)

Fadge means something different round here lol...

I was going to reply by saying 'knickers' but we don't call bread that lol.

we have Sandwich loaf...which is a standard loaf, bloomer, which is long and oval with cuts across the top, bun loaf, which is the big one and little one on top, bread rolls....large bread rolls which we call baps.

Then we have white, brown wholemeal, rye, oatmeal, sesame seeded, poppy seeded, sunflower, pumpkin, sliced, uncut, crusty, tiger.....

Youngest made bread rolls yesterday Joy...she's got the cooking bug and did them pretty much by herself by hand...they were lovely.!!!!

Same can't be said for the state of my kitchen though but hey ho lol.

A bloomer to me is either a flattish loaf with lines scored across it.

Or a pantaloon type underwear from days gone by lol x

A bloomer loaf to me is long and sort of oval.

And I might have guessed BC would be on here. :-D We wore navy blue ones at school with pockets in - knickers not loaves.

A Stottie cake or stotty is a type of bread produced in the North East England. It is a flat and round loaf (usually about 30 cm in diameter and 4 cm deep), with an indent in the middle produced by the baker. Elsewhere in the world, bread considered similar to the stottie is known as Oven Bottom Bread. One chief difference is the heavy and dough-like texture of the bread. Though leavened, its taste and mouth-feel is heavy and very reminiscent of dough.

Stotties tend to be eaten split and filled. Common fillings include ham and pease pudding[1], but also bacon, egg and sausage. The heavy texture of the bread gives it its name. To 'stott' is Geordie meaning 'to bounce'[2] because if dropped it would (in theory) bounce.

Though originating in the North East, stotties can be found in most parts of Britain,but not the south and have been offered for sale in branches of Greggs, Morrisons and Waitrose. Stotties sold by supermarkets tend to resemble stottie only in shape: The bread is lighter and more crumbly, resembling a bread roll more faithfully than a baker's stottie.

Until recently[when?] in some parts of the North of England, particularly in Bishop Auckland and the surrounding areas some local fish and chip shops sold an item called a stottie dip. The shop assistant would take a stottie cake (or half/quarter of one) and dip the cake into a thin meaty soup or gravy made with minced beef or oxtail and present this to the customer in a furl of chip paper. The dense consistency of the stottie would absorb the dip without disintegrating and provided a very cheap form of warm fast food.

Another take on the loaf could, until recently be commonly found in nearby Middlesbrough. A fadgie was made in much the same way as the stottie but was larger and thicker and triangular in shape

Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs....I'd never heard of that before !!!!

How funny that one word can have two totally different meanings depending on where in the country you live !!!! x

now come on what do you stuff in your fadgie
peace pudding and ham or german sausage
or maybe cucumber and salmon

hmmm, wonder what Gr's take on this when someone reports the thread lol.

Can you report something when they are harmless bread rolls up in the boro? :-D

Correct Joy stottie is 'Geordie bread' made in my family for years and years as was Fadge,but think fadgies are more commonly known in Middlesborough .........so me ganny tells me ;-)
