From Fife so these are rolls. Roll on sausage, roll on bacon etc. Heard them called different things in different parts of UK.
Oh jesus, here we go.
That would be a bun.
"Is that what we're gonna do today? We're gonna fight?"
That's a bap, innit.
Londoner here. That’s a roll that is. Unless you’re putting a burger in it, then it’s a bun.
Sneaky colonial sneaking in here to agree with you. I'm from NJ and this is it exactly.
Or you’re putting bacon in it, then it’s a bap
Right. If it's small (and soft) it's a dinner roll. A low quality one at that.
What do you call rolls that you eat at lunchtime?
Also dinner rolls. Now to be clear. I'm in the Seattle metro. We can be strange about some things.
That is a bread roll, baps are wider and flatter and floured, might be a "batch roll" but only if really want to be totally clear on type
Classic
It's a bun
We doing this are we? Recipe for disaster.
Anyway Geordie here but raised a Fifer too. So naturally they are rolls. All other answers are wrong. Confused the hell out of my Mum when we first moved up, and resulted in many an accidently bought iced buns.
What confuses me about most non-bun areas is that it's not just a different word, it's a collection of words and which one is correct seems to change based on size and consistency and even contents of said bun.
Are they always rolls, where you are now, or are they subject to a similarly complex system as elsewhere?
Roll, too small for a bap
Breadcake, growing up in Doncaster.
I'm scrolling through and so far this is the only one that feels objectively wrong.
It's a roll but of the inferior type, you need a crispy Morton's roll that's where it's at
King's Hawaiian is my roll/bun of choice as an American.
Baps!
Not from the UK, but that’s a roll. If it were larger, it would be a bun, but that is most definitely a roll.
Bread bun
Born and raised in Liverpool. It's a bap. A bigger, wider one is a barm (barm-cake) and here in the US of A, they like to call the particular sort from the picture, a dinner roll.
Doesn't get called a lunch roll if it's lunch time.
That's a bap.
It's a bap.
It's like I'm still on reddit.
Bun
If its soft it's a roll. If it's hard its a bap.
Cob mate
I'm inclined to agree with you, but I'm not sure if it looks crusty enough.
That is a roll.
If you intend to put a burger in it, then it's a bun.
Norfolk.
Barmcake for sure
US, in Texas. That is a roll.
It's a batch.
Ohh that’s a new one to me. Where from?
Coventry.
One of my girlfriends arse cheeks.
She affectionately calls them her "Hot Cross Bums"
First name that comes to mind for me is it's a bap.
Sausage buttie.
I switch between bap, teacake, oven bottom muffin.
And surely a roll on sausage is a roll between two sausages.
Aye, Scots is a back to front language at times.
Blaa in south east of Ireland
A friendly place to chat.
No politics please. Don't be a dick.
