If you want to cause an argument in Britain, just ask what one of these is called:
Pão de Hamburguer (Burger Bread)
Like the name says, we only use this bread for Burgers. We don't stuff anything else on it.
Here, the types of bread as multi-purpose as buns/rolls are called Pão de Batata (Potato Bread) and Bisnaguinha.
They look like Brötchen to me. The word depends on where in the country you buy them.

Occasionally Stottie, barmcake, bap etc. The list goes on

Well why have one name for something when you can have a dozen.

Makes it fun when you go to the bakery in a new town

Ah where you get what you asked for but not what you wanted because you call it something else and then proceed to complain that it wasn't what you ordered sounds like a story for NotAlwaysRight.com
Fortunately, it didn't quite get that far. We'd gone through all the names I knew them as with the baker looking more and more confused until I described what I wanted it for, then she said, you mean a Stottie Cake. That was the first time I'd heard that particular one.
Reminds me of the time that I (a Midwesterner) was in Boston and almost ordered a milkshake. I caught myself just in time - I remembered that in Boston, that's just plain milk with flavoring in it. What we call milkshakes (the ones made with ice cream), Bostonians call frappés.
I remember that Red Dwarf Talkie Toaster scene where Lister goes "No buns, baps, baguettes or bagels" and I'm like, what the hell is a bap?

Ah, so your a waffle person then. :P
If you want to cause an argument in Britain, just ask what one of these is called:
It's a cob and any other word such as TEACAKE should be punishable by death.
As indicated Cob is sumply used to describe a certain shape of bread, not to mention all the other common names for different shapes Such as Bloomer, Tin, Farmhouse etc..
Yeah, I can't say I have ever heard a roll like that being called a Cob, a type of bread, sure, but not a roll. For me, what was pictured is just a bog standard Roll.
And it seems that referring to a simple Roll like that as a Cob is only a Nottingham term.

It's a "bolle"
And the snuff box is a "snus boks" so thats similar.
Also that corn cob is disgusting

What a combo!
Or "maize."I've never heard the word "cob" used to refer to bread. To me, a cob is what's left after you eat the corn.
