What do you call this?

^I'm English, so yes I do.

That's definitely a roll.

A bap is softer and slightly longer, whilst a bun is round and has sesame seeds on top.

This. Its a roll.

 

[Dave]

Roll or Bun. Usually I just repeat whatever the label says when I'm buying it.

 

[Sam]

It's a fackin roll!

 

[furie]

Its a roll, clearly.

Yeah, if it will roll, it's a roll! I shall now rip-off david morton's post.

Bap : I used to know a girl we all called Bendy Wendy Wonder Baps. Baps being breasts. They were quite wonderful and her flexibility was legendary!
Tea/Breadcake : Teacakes = Lancashire, particularly Burnley/Accrington. Breadcakes are the Yorkshire equivalent. They call them different things because of Richard the Third
Barm : Large roll with hops to make it a darker bread. North Western thing. There's a butty shop in Widnes called "Barmageddon" - which is a fab name!
Batch : We don't need your steenkin' batches!
Bun : you'd be mistaken if you thjought the picture was a "bun", "buns" are round, possibly with a flour sprinkling too - yeah, spot on
Cob : cobs are like buns, but more northern, less flour. I'm a Midlander really and cobs = buns and thats no bun/cob. For me a cob is a hard bun, soft in the middle. Different to a roll because it's not rolled

Ian, you missed out "Flyer". The butty shops around here do these things called flyers - they're just huge baps/buns/whatevers. Never heard it before, and never heard it outside of the North end of Stafford - stupid inbred people they are around here

It's definitely a roll.

Bap is onomatopoeia.
Dunno what exactly a teacake is supposed to look like.
Same goes for Barm.
Batch is a cluster of something, so I suppose you could bake a batch of rolls.
A bun could be rolled and typically pastry-like, as in a Cinnabon, or could be a round bread used for sandwiches and hamburgers.
A cob is what you eat corn off of.

I'd either call it a roll or a bun, 90% of the time its a roll. Or just bread.

I've never heard of the other options lol.

 

[nadroJ]

Tis a roll.

Crusty Roll

(although the one Ian posted would also get this title)

Bap

(also referred to as just rolls)

Teacake

Bun

Breadcake
Erm.... WTactualF?!

Barm
A dyslexic one of these:

Batch

Cob

That's it. Anyone who says otherwise is daft.

 

[mouse]

Bun

No, that's a sticky bun, a normal bun is savoury.
Other than that, spot on.

 

[Nic]

Ah, I never stated what type of bun. There's many types of bun. That's a whole topic in its own right.

Teacake

That's a fruited teacake. A teacake is one of those sans fruit. Though that is Yorkshire and they're really not the ideal people to be taking culinary advice from.

LOL! It's a true variation, using hops or something in the dough to make it something different from your standard bap.

Batch

Geek!
