Where did the cob loaf come from
While not many people seem to know when the cob loaf was invented (some think around 1970), we're sure glad it was.
According to UK media, the word ‘cob’ could hail from a British term referring to cracknel made of fine flour; the English word for cot or cottage; the Welsh word for ‘top’; or the German word keubel meaning a bucket or large container.
So there you have it.
Enjoy!
