Cockle Bread
Cockle bread was an inferior type of British corn or wheat bread mixed with " cockle weed". In the 17th century a practice known as "moulding" cockle-bread had a sexual connotation. Cockle bread is also mentioned in a 19th-century nursery rhyme. Cockle weed bread The play ''The Old Wives' Tale'' by George Peele, first published in 1595, has a reference to "cockle-bread". The editor of a 20th-century edition of the play, Charles Whitworth, points to the " cockle" as a weed found in corn and wheat fields, and suggests that "cockle-bread" was possibly an inferior bread, made from those grains, with the weed mixed into it. William Carew Hazlitt writing in ''Faith and Folklore: a dictionary'' in 1905, gives the same explanation of "Cockle Bread" as Whitworth. The "moulding" of cocklebread In the 17th century a sexual connotation is attached not to the bread itself but to "a dance that involved revealing the buttocks and simulating sexual activity" which was known as "moulding" cockle ...

Oat Cake
An oatcake is a type of flatbread similar to a cracker or biscuit, or in some versions takes the form of a pancake. They are prepared with oatmeal as the primary ingredient, and sometimes include plain or wholemeal flour as well. Oatcakes are cooked on a griddle (''girdle'' in Scots) or baked in an oven. History Oatcakes have been documented as existing in Scotland since at least the time of the Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43, and likely before then. Oatcakes have also been described as being the "mainstay of Scottish breads for centuries". Jean Le Bel, around AD 1357-60 describes the Beguine nuns making "little pancakes rather like communion wafers". This is thought to be an early description of a Scottish oatcake. Regional variations Oatcake variations exist based upon the different preparations in various countries and regions. Great Britain Seen as a typically Scottish food item, oatcakes have also long been made elsewhere in Britain. Oatcakes may replace ...

Scuffler
A scuffler is a word in Yorkshire dialect originating from the Castleford area meaning a large bread cake. This bread is always baked in a roughly triangular shape and is similar to the Northumbrian stottie, but lighter. Scufflers often have a small amount of flour on the top. See also * List of bread rolls A bread roll is a small, often round loaf of bread served as a meal accompaniment (eaten plain or with butter).

Farl
A farl is any of various quadrant-shaped flatbreads and cakes, traditionally made by cutting a round into four pieces. In Ulster, the term generally refers to soda bread (soda farls) and, less commonly, potato bread (potato farls), which are also ingredients of an Ulster fry. It is made as farls (that is to say, flat rounds about 3/4 inch thick which are then cut into quarters). Modern commercially mass-produced potato farls, however, are often rectangular in form. In Scotland today, the word is used less than in Ulster, but a farl can be a quarter piece of a large flat scone, bannock, or oatcake. It may also be used for shortbread when baked in this particular shape. Etymology ''Farl'' is a shorter form of ''fardel'', the word once used in some parts of Lowland Scotland for "a three-cornered cake, usually oatcake, generally the fourth part of a round".Iseabail Macleod, 'Cereal terms in the ''Dost'' record', Christian Kay & Margaret Mackay, ''Perspectives on the Older Sco ...

Breakfast Muffin
An English muffin is a small, round and flat yeast-leavened (sometimes sourdough) bread which is commonly round and tall. It is generally sliced horizontally and served toasted.David, Elizabeth (1977). ''English Bread and Yeast Cookery''. London: Allen Lane. This bread is often part of breakfast in the United Kingdom, North America, Australia and New Zealand, frequently eaten with sweet or savoury toppings such as butter, fruit jam, honey, eggs, sausage, bacon, or cheese. English muffins are an essential ingredient in Eggs Benedict and a variety of breakfast sandwiches derived from it, such as the McMuffin and can be used in place of other breads for French toast. In various parts of the world, these products are commonly called ''English muffins'' to distinguish them from the sweeter cupcake-shaped products also known as muffins. English muffins are available in a wide range of varieties, including whole wheat, multigrain, cinnamon raisin, cranberry, and apple cinnamon. ...

Bannock (food)
Bannock is a variety of flat quick bread or any large, round article baked or cooked from grain. A bannock is usually cut into sections before serving. Etymology The word "bannock" comes from northern English and Scots dialects. The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' states the term stems from ''panicium'', a Latin word for "baked dough", or from ''panis'', meaning bread. It was first referred to as "" in early glosses to the 8th century author Aldhelm (d. 709), and its first cited definition in 1562. Its historic use was primarily in Ireland, Scotland and Northern England. The Scottish poet Robert Burns mentions bannock in his ''Epistle to James Tennant of Glenconner'', in reference to Alexander Tennant. Early history The original bannocks were heavy, flat cakes of unleavened barley or oatmeal dough formed into a round or oval shape, then cooked on a griddle (or ''girdle'' in Scots). In Scotland, before the 19th century, bannocks were cooked on a bannock stane (Scots for stone ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Flatbread
A flatbread is a bread made with flour; water, milk, yogurt, or other liquid; and salt, and then thoroughly rolled into flattened dough. Many flatbreads are unleavened, although some are leavened, such as pizza and pita bread. Flatbreads range from below one millimeter to a few centimeters thick so that they can be easily eaten without being sliced. They can be baked in an oven, fried in hot oil, grilled over hot coals, cooked on a hot pan, tava, comal, or metal griddle, and eaten fresh or packaged and frozen for later use. History Flatbreads were amongst the earliest processed foods, and evidence of their production has been found at ancient sites in Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, and the Indus civilization. In 2018, charred bread crumbs were found at a Natufian site called Shubayqa 1 in Jordan (in Harrat ash Shaam, the Black Desert) dating to 12,400 BC, some 4,000 years before the start of agriculture in the region. Analysis showed that they were probably from flatbread ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Barm Cake
A barm cake is a soft, round, flattish bread roll from North West England, traditionally leavened with barm. Chips are a popular filling, sold in most fish and chip shops in the North West of England and often called a chip barm. Another popular filling in the North West, particularly Greater Manchester, is a pasty barm. In Wigan, a whole savoury pie is served in a barm cake, known locally as a "Wigan Kebab".

Plain Loaf
A plain loaf, slices of which are known in Scots as plain breid (pronounced ), is a traditional style of loaf made chiefly in Scotland and Ireland. It has a dark, well-fired crust on the top and bottom of the bread. There is no crust on the sides due to the unbaked loaves being stuck together in batches, baked together then torn into individual loaves afterwards. The term batch loaf is sometimes used. This was once the more widely available style of loaf in comparison to the now more common pan loaf. See also * List of breads This is a list of notable baked or steamed bread varieties.

Milk Roll
Milk roll is a soft, round type of bread initially appearing in the United Kingdom in Blackpool in Lancashire England. It is made using milk instead of water, as well as white flour, yeast, and sugar. ''Shokupan'' (Japanese: しょくぱん） is a traditional Japanese milk bread. Milk roll is soft and light-textured, with a soft crust. The loaf is approximately 7" in diameter and approximately 500g in weight. Warburtons first launched their Blackpool Milk Roll in 1969. The exact origin of milk breads is unclear. There is evidence from a British baker, Robert Clarke, that knowledge of milk bread in the United Kingdom dates back to 1862 and came from Japan, shortly after the isolationist country had been forced open to the rest of the world. ''Shokupan'' was featured by the New York Times in a newsletter published on August 24, 2022, and the article describes it as "richer and more resilient" than American white bread and notes that it is served in a fashionable "fruit sandwi ...
