    I agree with @Chris-P-Bacon .... it's a barm cake.

    In Liverpool it was a common expression to hear someone being silly described as "acting like a daft barm cake".
    The other bread related expression is for being in a bad mood  ... to "have a cob on".

    Does anyone remember a nudger?
    Same texture as a crusty cob, but bigger and longer.
    At sixth form we used to buy them for lunch, tear them apart, eat the inside and then stuff Dairylea triangles and crisps in. Gourmet food.

    Wet nellies sound disgusting Pansyface.
    I've never seen / eaten one, but I do know the phrase " a right wet nellie" meaning someone who was always complaining.

    Don’t remember nudgers but I do remember wet nellies. Wet nellies were slices of bread that had been dunked in a pint of beer. And then eaten.

    Almost as nice as gravy sarnies - ordinary sliced bread dipped in the residue from the roasting tin. Posh bread & dripping.

    There's a butty shop in New Mills that does 'em. Served with slices of hot roast beef & onion on a 'Vienna'.

    Shouldn't that be #Ah...Vienna @B3?  ;)

    It would be a finger roll here.
