Bread - what do you call it?

Noooooo! It's a muffin!

I'm in Lancashire.

Bread bun (Scarborough, North Yorks)

A roll, bap or breadcake.

It's a roll to me. Occasionally a bun but only really if it's for a burger. I'm from Surrey so no barms down here.

It's a bread roll (I'm from the south)

Breadcake/bread bun (Selby, North Yorkshire)

English muffin is a round bread type item, certainly, but it's flat on both sides and comes ready split. It is sweeter than a bread bun, and can only be tolerated toasted. Think McMuffin.

Roll (west of Scotland)

Can be a bap, barm or bun. I'm from Manchester.
When I was at uni in sheffield they referred to them as cobs. Never understood that.

Cob! (Birmingham-ish)

Cob - i'm in the East Midlands

It's a roll here in the Midlands.

If you mean the big ones (about as big as your hand), that's a bap or a barm cake to me (North-West)

Bread bun (west midlands) or breadcake (after shopping at morrisons for many years)

Bread cake here

Roll in the sunny black country ? unless it is crusty then it is a cob.....

Bread roll (home counties upbringing). Crusty ones are crusty rolls.

Big flat floury ones are baps (or were, until baps meant tits, there was a sandwich shop when we lived in the UK cunningly called Lovely Baps)

Its a Bap in South Wales for me or a cob if its crusty

It's a roll. Baps are a subset of rolls, as are croissants etc.

I only tend to call them cobs when they are crusty, have something in them (usually cheese & onion) and are eaten down the pub (although i stop short of a pint of bathams)

It's a batch!

I'm in Nuneaton, Warwickshire!

Cheese and onion cobs always taste better when at the pub

Oh yes, indeed they do. I used to go in the Lamp in Dudley on a friday for my dads shows, they had huge crusty cobs with loads of cheese and onion on <dribble>

I'm not sure I would consider a croissant a roll. I think it is more closely related to pastries.

A roll

Same as Rache (on both counts).

I can't tell you the number of times I've been mocked by my Birmingham friends when I call them breadcakes in my broad Yorkshire. But that's what they are!

i always think of a bap as a flat roll iyswim

It's a cob but I try to use roll when I remember after some serious confusion at a bakers 'up north' when I was little.
