What do you call rolls?

[HawkMan]

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

 

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

[Biohead]

 

So looks like I'm the only one around here who knows them as bread cakes  :huh:

 

Must be a People's Republic of Yorkshire thing  :woot:

[Coagulated]

Bun.  We have this argument every few months with our Scottish Graphic Designer at work, he's adamant they're rolls.

[metallithrax]

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.

[RatherLargeBear]

They're rolls. Everyone else is wrong! :p

[firey]

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.

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

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.

[Buttus]

looks like a dinner roll, or a type of hamburger bun, can't tell the size of it in the pic

[Hum]

If the bread rolls across the floor, it is a roll !

[Sandor]

Bap or roll.

 

A longer one for say a hotdog would be closer to a "roll" though.

A bun is something like:

 

 

 

Wah?

That's a cupcake.

[applenerd]

a BAP - put some bacon in it and you are on a roll !

[ANON86364]

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.

[tuckeratlarge]

It's a Bread 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.

'Br?tchen'

[Nebula2020]

In Coventry we call them Batches, a Batch.

[BeerFan]

It's a roll.

[Nashy]

Bread roll / roll / bun

[Raa]

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:

[Dotdot]

Its how I roll... :p

[spikey_richie]

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"

[Sir Topham Hatt]

Crusty = cob

Floury = bap

Hotdog shaped = roll

 

However roll and bap are interchangable.
