What do you call this?

Bun or roll for me. I see them as the same thing. If anything, a bun has a softer outside and a roll has a harder one.
-A bap/barm is a much bigger thing, more like a giant version of what you'd but a burger in.
-I've never heard Tea/Breadcake used to describe something like that.
-A batch is just a group of something, nothing to do with that food item.
-I've heard Cob used before, but only by my Nana. I mean, she was a baker her whole life, but she's from Bolton and I've always assumed it was a local term.

Its a roll, clearly.
--
Bap : no, thats just a noise
Tea/Breadcake : no idea what these are
Barm : definately northern, certainly not that picture of a roll though
Batch : No, no idea again
Bun : you'd be mistaken if you thjought the picture was a "bun", "buns" are round, possibly with a flour sprinkling too
Cob : cobs are like buns, but more northern, less flour. I'm a Midlander really and cobs = buns and thats no bun/cob

Are you from Wolvo, Dave? Can't see anyone but myself being crazy enough to support their football team without being from there...
The Wolvoers I know... knew... all said cob and it annoyed me cause I never knew what the Hell they wanted.

Stafford really. Dads side of family are Wolverhampton - Grandad/Dad used to go to the Mol in the 50s/60s (when we were really GOOD), inherited it from them, I first went sometime mid 70s in the old Molineux street stand (pre John Ireland (now Steve Bull) stand (until they tear that one down next year)).
Think "cob" is common across the West Midlands - my mums side of the family is more Stoke and she always called them "cobs" (the round ones that is, not that obvious "roll" that Ian posted)

Ahhh, OK. I dunno why that had been bugging me. Must be because I'm *really* cool... Steve Bull was where my first match there was. How funky
Yeah, that's what I thought they were... Then I was offered a burger in one at a BBQ last summer, got all confused, asked "Cob... as in... corn?", then became a bit of a laughing stock.
The north should hand out dictionaries, it's weird, different and alien...

That's definitely a roll.
A bap is softer and slightly longer, whilst a bun is round and has sesame seeds on top.

Rundstykke. Where's my poll option?
Come on, you don't expect everybody to speak English all the time, do you?
