I tried a Bap for the first time at the local store they have on campus at Ulster University. My personal favorite is the bacon, egg, and cheese with ketchup. I have become a regular at the store already, so much so that they know my order when I come in. What makes Baps so good though are the bread, its completely different than any bread I have had before. It is a lot doughier and extremely good. No one seems to know why they are called Baps other than it originated in Belfast and they used to be called “Belfast Baps”. It has since been shortened to just Baps but I did learn that Baps come in a variety of different ways. During Culture Night I tried Baps from a food truck called Banjo Baps that was an interesting combination. It was pulled pork with a fried egg on top and a bunch of different sauces. I am not entirely sure what any of the sauces were but I was recommended to try all three. It tasted totally different than anything I was used too but I am looking forward to the future Baps that I will try as the year goes on.
