(UK, Northern England) A bread roll.
Breadcake is the proudly Northern English — particularly Yorkshire — word for a bread roll. What the south of England calls a 'roll', Londoners might call a 'bap', and Scots might call a 'morning roll', Yorkshire insists on breadcake and will defend the terminology vigorously. It's a prime example of British regional food vocabulary diversity, and breadcake has become something of a cultural badge of honour for those who use it, signalling Northern identity with every sandwich order.
(Yorkshire) A bread roll.
(UK, obsolete) A type of bread in England, resembling hard sea biscuit.
