Roll, Bap or Bun?

[Fubz 300]

Um I can't tell, is this a bun, a bap or a roll? Please don't get too argumentative. I know these sort of threads can cause a lot of argument but it's quite important to me that I find out. Please state a reason why for your answer as well. There's no point just voting.

At first I thought roll then I thought bap but now I think it's bun because it kinda looks like a white castle slider bun so i geuss it that

It seems to short to be a roll though, more like a bun on the height side. I can see why you're saying roll though. It does have the 'bapish' sort of corners however and the picture is quite good quality so feel free for a in depth inspection.

What? There's differences between these things? And what's a bap!? Isn't it just a piece of bread? I'm so confused, I just voted and said it was a bun.

 

All I know is that it's not a cupcake or a muffin.

Buns.Why you ask?<-----Bang

But no really Buns>All forms of bread.Cinnamon buns simply cannot be beaten *shrug*

Btw I've never heard anyone say "Bap" before

Dang it D: I wasn't specific enough in my question. I meant is the picture a bun, bap or roll? I prefer rolls anyways if you'd ask that question. Morton rolls from Scotland are de best

LOLOLOLOL

Omfg. I just had the ultimate derpy moment.. I didn't read the OP because I thought that this was just another Poll asking about bread *Facehoof* omg

That my good sir is a bun

[Night Shine 767]

I could see it being called a bun, but I've always called those rolls.

 

And um...what is a "bap"? I've never heard that word used before.

[Fubz 300]

Well a bap's like a Cob or a Barm or a Stottie. Cobs are a wee bit bigger though... Teacakes? D: It's important that you learn your bread types. IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE

But I'm an american, I don't know what a Bap, Barm, teacake, or Stottie is. and the only cob I know of has corn on it.

 

Can you show me pictures?

[Pachirisu 42]

I'm pretty sure it's all three...they all pretty much mean the same thing, just that different regions use different names.

 

A lot of people I know call them "barms/barmcakes" or "nudgers", but I've known them to be called "cobs" too.

[FlareChaser0096 142]

I don't know what a Bap is... but it looks like the cheap buns i get from kroger xD

I never knew that a poll about bread could get so far off the ground

[Pachirisu 42]

It's something that kneaded to be asked...I guess we just got on a roll.

 

We're all just loafing around, anyway...maybe we should raise a toast to the good times and wrap this up.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

That is a bun... I know this because that's the kind of bun I buy most of the time. I had them last night actually... They are pretty good.

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

That there is a roll. A bun is something completely different...

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,585]

Roll, that's what I've always called it.

[TheRockARooster 47,280]

It’s a roll not a bun.

Spoiler

What the hell is a bap?!

It's a roll. Buns are for hot dogs, or hamburgers.

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

That is a hamburger BUN. A roll is something sweet, and a bap...well, I've never heard of a bap, but I like the sound of it so I might have to start calling buns baps from now on. 

[Mini 451]

tf is a BAP

it's a bread roll

[Rainbow Cloud 16,290]

I'd call it a Roll but I've encountered the words Bab and Bun being used to describe it too.

[Shiki 5,853]

I'm choosing bap because wtf "bap" is amazing

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,358]

Roll, Sonic the Hedgehog does it for speed  

[Astralshy 23,550]

English is a foreign language to me, but I use these words in the following way.

roll - in case of a hard crust

bun  - in case of a soft crust (liker burger buns)

I haven't encountered the word bap before

So this has a soft crust (as far as I can tell) so I would call it a bun

When I do it wrong, please tell me
