Bread-lumps of Britain!
In the UK, and especially England, we have an incredible variety of names for the humble medium-sized-bread-lump.
While roll, bun, and bap are the 3 most common, there are many rarer and weirdly specific words found in different regions.
In Coventry or the Wirral Peninsula, they call it a “batch”. In South Yorkshire you will hear “bread cake”. Cross over to West Yorkshire you’ll hear “tea cake”, which is also common in parts of Cumbria. In the the the rest of the UK however, a tea cake is the name for a sweet bun with raisins in!
In Northumberland they usually say “bun”, or maybe “bap”, unless it’s large and flat, which makes it a “stottie”. In Lancashire they have a similar thing, but they call it an “oven bottom”.
Then there are the many other names for slightly different types of bun, and when you start putting food inside the name can change again, to buttie, or sarnie, or many others.
Here I have tried to display the most common word for a medium-sized-bread-lump, by region. Of course it can vary from person to person, but this is a great example how much the dialects of Britain can change as you travel about.
Hope youse all find all this stuff as interesting as I do
