I’m curious to know what’s the most common term on MN(Not necessarily the UK.)

Personally I call it a roll.

It's a roll but once upon a time before I moved as a child and people laughed at my vernacular, it was a cob.

It’s a barmcake.

Meadowflower2023 · 30/03/2024 12:42

It's a cob where I live.

A roll, but it was a breadcake in my northern youth.

Breadcake. Yes!

Hermittrismegistus · 30/03/2024 12:44

Breadcake or roll.

DrFoxtrot · 30/03/2024 12:45

I'd say bap* for the item on its own but if I'm asking for it with sausage or bacon in a cafe I'd ask for a sausage or bacon barm 😆*

DrFoxtrot · 30/03/2024 12:46

Messed up the bold but you get the gist

NerdWhoEatsMedlar · 30/03/2024 12:49

I'd call it a roll.

My DM would have called it a batch roll, as the rolls have been cooked close together so that they end up touching.

Dartmoorcheffy · 30/03/2024 12:50

A roll. (North West England)

Ipadannie · 30/03/2024 13:04

A softy

MarmiteWine · 30/03/2024 13:05

It's a bread bun.

Do I get bonus points for knowing it was going to be a bread bun before I opened the thread 😂

DoYouSmokePaul · 30/03/2024 13:06

Morning roll or softie. I’m from Aberdeen where a roll is a very different but incredible thing (aka a rowie or buttery).

PurplePositivity · 30/03/2024 13:07

It's obviously a bread bun, a small bread bun Grin

CrunchyCarrot · 30/03/2024 13:09

A bun.

Blueuggboots · 30/03/2024 13:11

It's a batch.

NC03 · 30/03/2024 13:13

A barm

K0OLA1D · 30/03/2024 13:15

Bap. A roll is what you put hotdogs on

paisley256 · 30/03/2024 13:17

Bread bun

AmaryllisChorus · 30/03/2024 13:18

A bread roll. Baps are flatter and floury on top.

TulipTuesday · 30/03/2024 13:20

Roll or bap.

I’d call it different names depending on the filling.
Cheese and onion roll
tuna roll
ham salad bap
sausage bap
bacon bap

treacledan71 · 30/03/2024 13:24

Midlands area. A roll or a cob. A cob is more crusty though.

AdaColeman · 30/03/2024 13:26

Bread roll

MinervaMcGonagallsCat · 30/03/2024 13:31

It's a roll. And a small one at that.

x88mph · 30/03/2024 13:31

Bread bun for me (I also lived in cob territory but did not assimilate).
