Well, This Should Be interesting...!!!!

Just out of curiosity... what do you call this:
I’ve heard at least 4 different variations of names for this item, but I just came across an image which states that different areas of the UK call it something different!!!
Just for the record, I call it ‘BUN’ (I’m from Birmingham in the West Midlands)
I’d love to hear what everyone else calls it!
Feel free to comment your variation below, & optionally, where you are from in the UK.
This should be interesting!!!!
I’ve never heard anyone call it a roll Apart from on the packaging of course According to the image, you should be calling it ‘Bun’ haha
I'm from Scotland and we call it a morning roll, a bap and a barm! My husband is from Northern Ireland and it is very much a bap!
Oh my! Morning roll!!! Never heard that one before!! It’s very long lol (compared to bun!) But according to the image you’re correct for using that, as you’re in Scotland The only other variations I’ve ever heard of ’bun’ are bap or barm. But here in The Midlands I think the term bun is widely used. The others sound SO foreign to me
Second person I’ve ever heard of calling it a roll!! I know that’s what the official packaging states but I’ve never heard someone use that term!!! Gosh! so many variations on an everyday food item!!!
3rd person I’ve heard of who uses that term!!! It doesn’t make sense to call it a ’roll’ when there’s no rolling involved lol & according to the above image that’s the correct term to use, as you’re from the South
I'm for County Durham and call it a bun, my friend from Manchester calls it a barmcake and one from Birmingham a cob
I call it a bun too. Snaps! Oh my! Barmcake?!!? That sounds ridiculous But it does say on the image that’s what they call it in the North West! & I’ve heard a few people call it a cob. Or bap or barm but those are mainly Northerners. It’s been very interesting to find out what everyone calls a simple everyday food item. I had no idea it could have 16 different names! That’s a right achievement!!!!
Call it what you like as long as you fill it with corned beef and
Branston Pickle then forward it to me
Lol I can’t say I like either of those fillings, but hey you can throw just about anything in to a ‘bun’ & it’ll taste good
I think it’s abit unneccesary to have ‘burger’ in there lol but wahaayyy, I call it a bun too!
I think the longer soft ones if called Rolls fair enough but BAPS or Bacon Butty or Chip Butty it is for me!!!
Its a cob simple as that east mids born moved to geordie land and i get very strange looks when i ask for a bacon cob haha
