No you heathen thats a fairy cake

noooo fairy cakes have little slices of the sponge taken out, the gap has some icing shoved in and the bits put back upside down to make little "wings" at least thats how my mum used to make them...

I can see this degrading into a punch up!

Depends on the type of bread stuffs in question.

Rolls are finger shaped and are what is used for hotdogs

Baps are large and floury

Cobs are smaller buns with a crusty top (ie coated in milk or egg before baking)

Buns are covered in seeds and usually come with burgers.

HTH

Agree completely. Lancashire representing yo!
most of the words used in thi thread are used here but each is assigned to a diferent type of roll.
I can confirm that tea-cakes do not have currants in unless it is a currant tea-cake.

My girlfriend is from Scotland and she just calls them rolls, from the small crusty cob to the gigantic magnificance of the Geordie Stotty cake. Weird.

Nah, that describes a butterfly cake.

It's a roll, a bread roll

the long ones are called hot dog buns

(roll with bacon in - bacon roll
roll with cheese in - cheese roll
roll with sausage in - not a sausage roll, a roll n sausage)

[SunnyD]

Ahem, Wiktionary says...

"Definition of fairy cake :

* A small cake baked in a small paper cup, in a multi-compartment pan; a cupcake"

On my various forays up north, i've heard baps called teacakes also.

a teacake is a sweeter bread with currants in. can also be slightly spiced like a hot x bun. for breakfast purposes.

i should become a baker.

Not in the northwest, our local baker would call 'baps' teacakes.

WTF thats a yorkshire pudding tray!!!

[Lord Pikey]

I tend to call it a Semmel at the momment.

when back tup north i normally ask for a roll several times before remembering and asking for a "barm cake"

[Ganglandboss]

One of our Directors from 'that London' was up here (Manchester) yesterday. While I was sat at my PC I heard:

"What the fk's a barm?!"

"As in 'bacon barm'?"

"Yeah! They asked me in Gregg's if I wanted my bacon sandwich on a barm - what the fk's one of them?"

"A barmcake...."

"I don't want my bacon sandwich on a cake - I want it between two slices of white bread."

"It's not a cake; it's a type of bread. Oh, and by the way, it's a 'bacon butty' - only poofs and southerners have 'bacon sandwiches!'"

Precisely the conversation I had when working in Manchester and trying to find out what a bacon and egg barm is!

I know now, and when I'm in Lancs with one of my southern shandy drinking friends of colleagues I act all superior because I can speak the local lingo!

A roll is a roll is a roll

When they have the wings they are butterfly cakes

that's clearly a very shallow thing for making little tiny crap flat cakes of some kind

buns are flat bottomed things, not things baked in little dishes
