What do you call a bread roll?

This thread may lead to a big fight😂

Baps in Lancashire

I call them bread buns, but that’s possibly more to do with hearing my Mum and Grandma calling them that - Grandma was from the North East, I’m a Yorkshire lass but we never said bread cakes in our family.

Tea cakes are little fruit bread buns, with currants in them (at least that’s how I refer to them).

I’m fascinated by regional differences and even differences within the same region for the same item. Things can get a bit blurred around the edges, can’t they?

A bun fight Oreo? 😂😂

I've never understood why they're called hamburgers when they're made from beef, MissInterpreted.

Invented in Hamburg?

You got it!

Did they originate in Hamburg?

I did ask 😁

Or Honey Bun, if it's a girl...!

Baps or barm cakes in the NW where I am originally from, a roll here in the South where I ended up. A cob is a hard crusty bap/roll or a loaf with a big round base and smaller round on top.

A bun fight Oreo? 😂😂

Sounds like the song Ernie by Benny Hill, that used to crack me up, Dad had a record and we kids played it loads.

Hmm Babs03 sounds like a cottage loaf🤭

I’d call that a bridge roll.

Oh yes, Oreo! I'd forgotten that one. We did call them bridge rolls.

Must be all this living in furrin parts like Angus and Oxfordshire and Argyll wot did it 😂

Roll or Brotchen.

Bread rolls are called rolls here in the west of Scotland, and are often filled with square sausage and/ or bacon and potato scone for breakfast. The rolls are either soft or well fired ( crusty but not brittle).

Baps if they're soft and squishy.

But what did the muffin man sell (the one in the song)? Was it some kind of bread roll/bun/crumpet?
Muffins seem to have morphed into over large fairy cakes with butter icing on top.

English muffins - yeasty buns that are split and toasted, Can be served sweet or savoury.

If you've ever been to MacDonalds they use them for their Bacon and Egg McMuffins.

There are bridge rolls, which ar longer, thinner and smaller than bread rolls.

And then there are barmpots, which is something quite different: people who behave in ways that seem odd to other people.
These are not a food product.

You are all wrong, it's a batch

The long rolls are finger rolls or hot dog rolls.

Do you know the muffin man? Apparently he lives down Dury Lane.🤭

Yes! I know the muffin man...

Having said buns are cake - we call them bread buns ha ha.

In that case, will you order me a pack please?😃

Rolls are called biscuits in the US😲

What is it you want, now?
Stotties, batches, bin lids, buns, bread rolls, sausage rolls, Swiss rolls, barms...

Up here in NE Scotland we have Morning Rolls or flouries, and Aberdeen is famed for its butteries which are a sturdier version of round croissants. Other than that they're just rolls - no need to say bread. Amazing how many different terms and versions there are around Britain!

Yes - that puzzled me when I went into a breakfast diner in the US and was offered biscuits with gravy...

I had this image of custard creams floating like little barges in a river of gravy.

And the chap sitting next to us in the diner with his wife, referred to them as "biscwits".
