Rolls ,Baps, Barms, Muffin or Plain Teacake?
Ask a Question
For me growing up they were actually muffins...but there are actually muffins that are quite different. Auto god prediction text just rubbed out five times the word bap and wrote nap which put me in mind of the wonderful variety of names for a fluffy floury bread roll in a round shape....rolls were the finger shaped ones to me btw....
I'm well aware of them all but to my knowledge I haven't ever had a barm cake, unless it is the same thing with a different name? I love tea cakes especially if they have cinnamon in them.
Good morning tumblespots
I want a tea cake now because of you.
With a nice bit of Welsh salted butter.
TheChimp Mmmmm. I've just got my marmite on toast, which will have to do for now.
TheChimp No, I haven't, I'll have to give it a try. I suppose it would be a bit like Cheese on toast with Worcestershire sauce on?
Omg it's 6:31am, I've got a stinking hangover, and I've just come across this topic.
I have no clue what the question is 
I find the names strange when doing online shop . I say balm they say bread rolls.
Its a bun to me in the north east or sometimes butty. I love a bacon and mushroom bun with mayo 
Beat me too it. I read the title & thought: Where's bun? In our house its bun or stottie.
Glitterandgold is that in bonny Scotland? I thought a stottie was something else,a potato scone perhaps
Always thought a butty was just a sandwich with bread , didn't know it could be a roll/ bun etc
Sarahvwomble No, North East (Newcastle) A stottie is a North Eastern thing. Its basically a large white flat bread bun.
Thanks for making me hungry just from the title! 
(I’m on a diet and it’s killing my soul)
Sarahvwomble I’m from the south of england but live in the west of Scotland and both parts say rolls.. so it must be right 
Just found this ,really accurate as I am from GM...
Roll here, always called a roll unless it’s a ‘chip butty’ around where i am from. Amazing how many different names there are
Im not quite sure what the question is here but im guessing you mean who calls them what? In that case I have always called them muffin
Yes me to ,are you from greater Manchester? According to above link on YouGov there are only three per cent of us who say muffin..
Sarahvwomble Really?? I'm from London but i've grown up calling them muffins and I can't imagine calling them anything else!
