Stotty cakes are very different to bread buns / bread rolls. A stotty cake is a large flat loaf.

Agreed! Like I said previously had they been bigger and flatter then they would be stotties but as they are they are bread buns.

OMG savaloy dips :thumbs: I haven't had one of those for 40 odd years. I used to pick up one for my lunch when I worked for Boots the Chemist on Grainger Street back in the 60s. I'm sure there was a Bowers on Blackett Street. Oh the smell from that shop. Can you still get them?
 
Do NOT look at the Urban Dictionary definition of a saveloy dip, especially if you're at work or of a nervous disposition!

I saw an item about frankfurter/saveloy manufacture a few years ago and the extrusion process was enough to put me off both for life.

In Leeds, where God was born, they're called Bread Cakes, which is correct.....in Norfolkshire, where nothing important has ever happened, they're called Rolls, which is stupid.

If it's got currents in it then it's going to be shocking. Tea cakes usually have currants in them
