| I call them cobs but I've noticed that most people of my acquaintance call them baps. _________________ |

| I use 'bread roll' as the generic word.
Now, of those other options, some of them are local terms for a generic bread roll, some of them are national or local terms for a specific kind of roll.
Local general terms batch
National specific terms bap (a light roll for putting a burger in) dinner roll (a very light roll, often a bit sweet, yuck)
Local specific terms buttery (an eastern Scottish roll with lots of fat, a bit like a savoury croissant) morning roll (Scottish chewy, yeasty roll)
I'm not sure about 'cob', some people, like Wendi, use it to mean any roll, whereas if I said 'cob' I'd mean a crusty roll.
Interestingly, I bought 4 bread rolls this morning, to have for my tea tomorrow. Delicious dense crusty wholemeal rolls, which Sainsburys choose to call 'rustic'. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| That map is wildly inaccurate by the way. I grew up in Essex and the first time I ever saw anyone call a bread roll a 'Vienna' was 30 seconds ago, when I saw that map. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| Basically the entire concept of this thread is gravely, hopelessly, fatally flawed. Bap, bun, bread roll. Cob up north. Vienna, indeed. _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!

| That is very true.
The picture Wendi posted immediately had me confused cos it looks very close textured and so I wasn't sure how big the 'rolls' were.
My immediate thought was they were proper-size loaves of sourdough. _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!

| Also, the crust looks either hard and crunchy or soft like banana bread.
Or something. _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!

| To me, a cob is more crusty and hard than a soft bread roll/bun. A bap sounds a bit... common, something you'd have in a greasy spoon with plastic table cloths. But likely oh so delicious at the same time. "Wud ya lark the baircon bap, duck?" |
