What do you call a bread roll?

The long ones, such as the ones used to make hamburgers, we call rolls, the round, soft ones we call baps and the round, crusty ones we call cobs. To us anything called a tea cake has dried fruit in it.

I'm curious as to what kind of 'long' roll you use for hamburgers? I've never seen a burger on anything other than a round roll of one kind or another.

Here in Birmingham, if a roll is soft, it's a roll. If it's crusty, it's a cob.

Of course we also have stotties up here in the North East too.

A dangerous question. A cob for me. I saw some behind the bar in a Watford pub about forty years ago. I asked 'what is in your cobs?'
The barmaid called the manager, repeated my question and he threw me out for being obscene. I only wanted to know whether they were cheese or ham.

Bread roll on South West England.

Depends where I am at the time.

Barm cake or oven bottom in Lancashire.

Here in South Yorkshire they are bread cakes or oven bottom cakes.
As others have said, tea cakes have dried fruit in them.

A roll.

Just a roll.

South east - a bread roll is a roll. Anything that isn't a bread roll is something else.

I'm in Scotland and I would say exactly the same!

A bread roll to me is small and crusty, whereas a barmcake is larger and flatter. A tea cake has currants in. I’m NW England.

Usually a roll but if it is soft and floury on top it is a bap.

Meant to say...Black Country, West Midlands
