Safties - Up here!!
 
Co-opy Baps are something entirely different:D
 
Those are dinner rolls in New Jersey, USA... A roll implies something you make a sandwich with, dinner rolls get buttered and eaten with a meal.

It's the local pronunciation of softies, which you southern lot are;). NE sweatysockland:D

As for co-opy baps eh rhyming slang for some lady bits (that rhymes as well, god I'm good!!).

Interesting...wasn't expecting answers from outside the UK if I'm honest as this would be for a sandwich hot or cold I'd put down Roll for your good self :)
 
Plain and simple bread rolls- Not really a true northamptonian so i could be more cambridgeshire or Gosport/portsmouth :D
 
The posted pic looks like baps to me (soft rolls) but I might call them burger buns if they're the right size or even just plain old boring bread rolls!
Born and bred Exeter area but educated in Dorset from 13-18.
 
I think they're called "Barms" in Lancashire / NW.
 
Bread Roll - Essex.
Top looks too hard to be classified as a soft roll but not hard enough to be a crusty roll. Baps are flatter and definitely softer than those in the picture

Should make it clear really that the image was more for shape than anything specific :D
 
A roll. SW Scotland - occasionally - and South Africa.
 
Soft rolls for the soft ones
Crusty rolls for the erm crusty ones
here in North Bucks. :thumbs:
 
It's either a crusty roll or it's a sponge - can't stand the softie rubbish, the crustier the better!

Bristol
 
When I lived in Chesterfield they were sometimes called bread cakes
 
Yorkshire lad and their bread cakes

cob rolls - I'm from bucks, but my mum is from Lincolnshire , which I think is where I got that from
 
If they were a bit bigger and flatter they would be stotties (Geordie) but they look like bread buns to me. Wonder if I've picked that up from being dahn Saaf Oooh I could just eat a ham and pease pudding stottie :schtum:
 
Born in Warwickshire but left young - my older family members say Batch

Grew up in the North West of England so to me they're Rolls, Barms or Baps

Lived in Scotland for the last 20 years so those you have pictures of are Rolls or Softies
