From Fife so these are rolls. Roll on sausage, roll on bacon etc. Heard them called different things in different parts of UK.

    What confuses me about most non-bun areas is that it’s not just a different word, it’s a collection of words and which one is correct seems to change based on size and consistency and even contents of said bun.

    Are they always rolls, where you are now, or are they subject to a similarly complex system as elsewhere?

      I’m in Edinburgh, and they are almost exclusively rolls, or morning rolls. Sometimes baps. Not sure that isn’t just for the giggles. Never buns. A bun is sweet. But since this is a country that calls sugary fizzy drinks in cans “juice”, I don’t think we can take the high ground here.
