From Fife so these are rolls. Roll on sausage, roll on bacon etc. Heard them called different things in different parts of UK.
Right. If it’s small (and soft) it’s a dinner roll. A low quality one at that.
What do you call rolls that you eat at lunchtime?
Also dinner rolls. Now to be clear. I’m in the Seattle metro. We can be strange about some things.
Slather it in butter and use it to make a chicken supernoodle sandwich and then tell me it’s low quality.
Brunchfast of champions to students everywhere.
Classic
It’s a bun
I switch between bap, teacake, oven bottom muffin.
And surely a roll on sausage is a roll between two sausages.
Too small for a teacake.
Aye, Scots is a back to front language at times.
First name that comes to mind for me is it’s a bap.
If its soft it’s a roll. If it’s hard its a bap.
Blaa in south east of Ireland
That’s a bap.
Breadcake, growing up in Doncaster.
I’m scrolling through and so far this is the only one that feels objectively wrong.
Oh jesus, here we go.
That would be a bun.

Rolls. They pale in comparison to the mighty Well Fired Roll though.
That the one that is essentially charcoal and requires metal teeth?
It is indeed. Magic with some slice, tattie scone and an egg
Miniature bread loaf
Not from the UK, but that’s a roll. If it were larger, it would be a bun, but that is most definitely a roll.
See I don’t know if it’s a size thing. I think it has to do with accessorizing. If you put a filling in it, or iced it, it’s a bun. But plain it’s just a roll.
How big is a “bun” to you then? What’s the cutoff?
While not claiming to be any authority on the bread sciences, I’d say that a roll is roughly the size of just the palm, while a bun is closer to the size of the full hand.
A bun also passes the Burger Test: Could you easily fit a burger on this bread? If yes, it’s a bun; if no, it’s a roll.
*makes notes*
US, in Texas. That is a roll.
It’s a roll but of the inferior type, you need a crispy Morton’s roll that’s where it’s at
King’s Hawaiian is my roll/bun of choice as an American.
To be a roll it has to be made of bread, not sugar 😂
I’m American, my body rejects anything that’s not at least 50% sugar. I go into withdrawals.
I’m sure someone will sell you some overpriced medication for that mate
I couldn’t afford it even if my private health insurance did cover it.
OP is from Fife, I can tell you that would be a “well-fired roll”
