"Bun" if it's specifically made for hamburgers. "Roll", otherwise.

 

you wouldn't use those for burgers, burger buns are completely different consistency.

I'm from Yorkshire and would normally call it a tea cake.

 

I think folks from t'other side of t'hills call them barms.

In the form that the picture shows, it's a roll.  If you slice it in half and put something between it, then it's a bun.

That's how I see it, at least.

That's my thought as well.   Hard to tell from picture, kinda looked like a hamburger bun.

For the love of god - tea cakes have currants in them :trout:

 

 Sans-currant they are a humble bread cake ;)

I would call it a Teacake too, defiantly a regional thing though. I've got some strange looks elsewhere saying that.

I'd call that a cob, but think that it may be regional thing. I had a lot of strange looks when using the word cob at university.

Some of the stuff in here is just bizarre. Da f' is a freakin' bap? Cob? You mean like a cob salad? Never heard these things in my life. To me it's a damn roll or bun.

So someone at work said "barm cake" whe holding a bread roll yesterday, and had to explain herself. So what do you call one of these?

Barm is a Oldham / Manchester region thing (Roads are named with Barm e.g. Barm Road or Barm Way) and further north they become Barm Cake, Teacake. I had no idea until I ordered lunch whilst away on training in Oldham.

 

I'm from the south west, we refer to rolls as rolls.

Technically I'd call it a bread roll.

 

Because a roll is a list of names.

A rolls is a car.

 

If you're saying out outloud, a roll is something you do with a die/dice, or a part you play, or something that a car can do if you left the handbrake off.

 

 

 

Gee I love the English language. :laugh:

WTF?

 

Get a hold of a Cocker Spaniel, tie this person down on a chair with a potty on his head, then pop his todger between two floury baps, and shout "Dinnertime, Fido!"

 

See my OP, "and had to explain herself"
