Why do golf clubs insist on serving up burgers/bacon/sausages etc. in horrible floury baps?
I much prefer a proper "crusty" roll.
I love it when I go to Lefties gaff and prior to playing you can go inside and order a nice burger, with plenty of onions in a nice crusty bread roll. It tastes so much better.
I think floury baps, like broomhandle putters, should be abolished.
 
I'm surprised your teeth can manage a crusty roll!!:D

I agree if it's an either or, crusty every time. That's not to say floury baps don't have their place.
 
Crusty rolls ate far better but much harder to keep as they go off far quicker hence the soft floury batch is used as it keeps days seeming fresh rather than hours like crusty rolls do.
 
French stick (firm flex) with jumbo sausage and onion :thup: ....why even have bacon?

Don't like those floury baps things at all, or stale/rock hard french bread.
 
Depends on the filling. For me burgers have to be in a soft bun, or anything hot that you would eat with sauce, you don;t want to be trying to get your gob around a crusty bun and have brown sauce dripping down your front.

My favourite bun is Ciabatta, tiger bread comes a close second, specially when fresh and you can lather bovril on it.

Didn't mention stotties as they are pretty much a staple part of the diet :D Yer just canna whack peas puddin ham and beetroot in a stottie.

Also stotties are great for chip butties, just pull about a inch off the top like you were opening an envelope, open the stottie up like a pitta bread and you have one mahoosive pocket for a bucket of chips, champion.
 
Actually my current bread of choice for a mid-round snack is the Portuguese roll (the kind you get in Nandos) with Chicken mayonnaise filling

Soft but also a little crusty, best of both ;)
 
At last a topic that I can comment on as an expert...

It has to be a crusty roll ( a Scottish preferably).

With the Floury number you end up with a disproportionate amount of bread to meat content per bite ( ratio 3:1 ) where as with the crusty king you get the ergonomically palatable 1:1 ratio.

The only place for the Flour Power is when you have a high liquid fat content and in this case the Happy Bappy is ideal to soak up this excess juice saving the tweeds and pringle from a battering.
 
We had floury bacon baps at West Hill last week. I took two bites and gave it away. If that had been a crusty roll, and I had eaten it all, I reckon I would have had a lot more than 19 points due to my increased energy levels.
I reckon West Hill have got a lot to answer for.
:angry:
 
Fresh french stick or a crusty bap for me. Love the tiger stuff as well. The floury things at our place go stale quickly and are frozen so fall apart... yuk.

I agree it was a crap bacon butty... prob the shear volume required spoiled the result but the half way sausage baps weren't half decent!
