Because obviously “bread roll” is exactly what it is, right? I’ll even allow bap, as I’m feeling generous.
But, FFS, Barm cake!? I’m just not having it that ANYONE *really* calls them that!?.
That’s just made up for lols on TikTok, surely!?
But anyway. What’s it called around your way?  |

"Teacake where I’m from, cob where I live!"
If a bread roll is a tea cake, what do you call a tea cake? Which is a bit like a hot cross bun, but without the cross? Full of raisins / sultanas?

That would be a 'currant teacake' 
I know.. What an oxymoron! (I'm not quite convinced it works as an oxymoron, but the correct phrase escapes me  ) |

"I introduced someone to a stottie today!!
A culinary delight I discovered in Newcastle. Breakfast stottie.
Also the only viable alternative to Bun. "
A stottie is akin to a round loaf Defo not an individual bun... You mean you had a quarter one? Unless you was proper hungry?  |

Oh this was an entire breakfast served on a stottie. I agree the word bun doesn't even touch the sides. In fact it is like throwing a sausage up the Tyne tunnel.

Woody walks into a chippy in Glasgow.
“2 chips barms please”
All 4 staff turn and mumble together.
Them - OH! You mean Chips on a roll!
Yeh sure, let’s hope it’s the same thing !
So Scotland call it the wrong thing too. |

So. If you go into Greggs for breakfast and want sausages on a “roll “.
Are you surprised when you ask for a sausage roll they give the Greggs sausage roll wrapped in pastry or do you have to waste time explaining that when you ask for a sausage roll, you actually meant a sausage roll and not the sausage roll they have given you??
It’s a cob. |

It's a barm cake here in the North West. Is a regional thing. Dialects change from place to place. The best thing by far though is we all love a bacon, egg and sausage barm/roll/stottie or whatever you call it but the real question has to be do you have brown or red sauce or plain, that's the most important thing?... lol.
Peace and love all. |

batch , bap , barm , bun, vienna , morning roll, bin lid ( Liverpool ) tea-cake , oggie, Aberdeen rowie....... and loads more.
List is endless but they are ALL bread rolls and they are all different .....
e.g. I like a morning roll for breakfast as it's the high baked crusty top that's soft in the middle for sausages and bacon etc.......
What ever it's called, it's a bread roll. |

Bun, chip butty, ice pop, penny floater.
Wrong! It’s an ice pole!  "
I used to think you were alright. Now I think you belong on a register. |

And then there's the Stottie which is "...just the thing for soaking up last night's ale" at least according yo the hand written sign in the Student Union at Teesside Polytechnic.

"It's a roll. Unless it's got chips on it, then it's a chip butty..."
I always though a chip butty was chips between two slices of bread.
I think a chips/roll combo is known in chippies up and down the country as a roll and chips.
Pedantic? Moi! |

Generally "roll" is generic for things like pass the roll or can I have a roll. If we are talking about what shape we want to buy for a particular use; roll = elongated/baguette, bun = round/square. So a hotdog goes on a roll but a burger is in a bun.  |

You'd get this look, if you asked for a chip roll here = 
Chip barm
Chip butty
Both correct. |
