Roll, me.

The Welsh variation is suspect. 'Bara' is Welsh for 'bread' not a bread roll.

This is the correct answer. It's only a morning roll if it's a well fired Morton's one.

Forty-odd years in Notts but I've never converted to calling them cobs. They're rolls. The larger, softer rolls with a floury top are baps.
However the local independent baker, which has been around for 50 years and supplies Asda and Sainsbury's calls their rolls York Baps.
