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

Personally I call it a roll.

Where I live in Scotland, a bridie is definitely not a bread roll.It's a meat pasty.Forfar bridies are delicious.

For me the whole of Scotland is so wrong on that map. I'm from Glasgow and we never said anything other than roll. I now live not far from bridie town (in Smokie town) and I've literally never heard bridie used for a roll. And as a PP said, up north a buttery is such a different (and amazing) thing. A toasted buttery with even more butter added to it is wonderful, but nothing like a nice soft roll like the original picture.

Here in the Westcountry it's a bread roll (as opposed to a filled roll or a sausage roll). Where my daughter lives in Liverpool it's a barm cake.

I am interested to know if packaged bread rolls (in supermarkets etc.) are labelled differently in different parts of the country? Surely not?

When I do my online food shop 'cob' only ever comes up with corn. It's most commonly bread roll I type to get my cobs
