Birmingham’s food scene just got a delicious upgrade thanks to Crusty Cottage Bakery in Quinton. The bakery has unveiled the Cobosa, a mouthwatering fusion of two beloved Brummie classics that food lovers are eager to try.
Traditionally, locals might grab a cob filled with cheese and onion or ham from their corner pub or bakery. But Crusty Cottage has taken it a step further by combining a samosa — a popular spiced snack — inside a freshly baked cob loaf, topped with crisp salad and flavorful sauces.
The bakery’s Facebook announcement reads: “Introducing the new Crusty Cottage Special – the Cobosa. Choose from Lamb Samosa with fresh salad and mint sauce or Chicken Tikka Samosa with fresh salad and sweet chili sauce.”

Social media reactions show excitement and anticipation. Comments include, “Sounds right up my street,” “Absolutely bangin,” and “That sounds like fun, I’ll have to try one.” One fan even urged, “Please put this on the Uber app – I’d love to try it!”
With the Cobosa, Crusty Cottage has created a new Birmingham favourite that perfectly blends classic local flavours with a modern twist, making it a must-try for food enthusiasts across the city.
