"Rolls.
But not all that strange, look how many different types of rain we have in the UK! More than 5! Lol"
Mmm...well I've got drizzle, spit...maybe downpour... |

Just "A Roll".
I am not "Rollist" nor discriminate between "Granary", "Seeded", "White", "Brown" or any of the other almost endless names.
I just call them "Rolls".
And if asked to make a choice, in a restaurant for example, I'll merely point and say "That one, please". |

"I used to think it was mad that Eskimo's had 5 words for snow...
Until i realised how many we have for bread rolls..
What do you call yours?  "
Just a polite heads up as most in the UK simply aren't aware - but - the word "Eskimo" is extremely derogatory, being a quite nasty racial slur, to the indigenous peoples of the upper reaches of the Northern Hemisphere. To put it into context its actually beyond, in terms of potential offence, than using say the "N" word, especially to people in Alaska and Northern Canada. I found out the hard way off a colleague who has become a dear friend from Anchorage who quickly advised, accepting of course of my genuine ignorance, the word I (and we can include this post too) was looking for is Inuit.
Hope this might be of use someday to someone.

They are all different types of bread roll. It’s like saying meat instead of beef, lamb etc.
Cob - crusty
Batch - made in a batch and stuck together
Barm - larger roll, bap is similar
Bun - if made of brioche

It depends on the type of roll
Cob - if it’s a crusty one
Roll / breadcake - if it’s a soft one
Bun - if it’s a long soft one
Scuffler - if it’s from the oven bottom
Baguette - if it’s a long crusty one
French stock - if it’s a very long crusty one

"Baps.. it just goes. Chip bap 🤷♀️
Bap yes but once chips are inserted it becomes a chip buttie
A chip buttie is two slices of bread, its a chip batch!"
We used to get a chip bin lid when I was at school, it was a large bread roll, filled with a chips. I only ever saw this in St. Helens in a chippy, near Taylor Park. |

Yeah i realised when i wrote it...but E words having 5 names for snow is just such a recognisable meme..and putting I nuit in brackets or instead spoiled my flow..
Besides, i figured the chances of any Inuits being offended was low...  |
