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

    Not from the UK, but that’s a roll. If it were larger, it would be a bun, but that is most definitely a roll.

      How big is a “bun” to you then? What’s the cutoff?

        While not claiming to be any authority on the bread sciences, I’d say that a roll is roughly the size of just the palm, while a bun is closer to the size of the full hand.

        A bun also passes the Burger Test: Could you easily fit a burger on this bread? If yes, it’s a bun; if no, it’s a roll.

      See I don’t know if it’s a size thing. I think it has to do with accessorizing. If you put a filling in it, or iced it, it’s a bun. But plain it’s just a roll.
