You've obviously swallowed too much of something in the past which has ruined your taste buds. Far be it from me to suggest exactly what you have been swallowing.
What is it with Manchester people?

I remember going to an open-day at the University of Bradford with my folks back in '97/98 and my mum going in a bakery and asking for a couple of rolls. The woman behind the counter replied "what, those buns? (pointing)" and my mum quick as a flash replied "Where I come from, 'buns' have currants in them"

That is a tad naughty, in honesty.
You're probably right there. I had a fleeting moment of regret.

Kent, Sussex, Cambridgeshire.
We use the term roll, bun or bap depending on what your putting in it or how crude you want to sound.
Never butty, teacake or barm cake

That is rather threatening, big meany.
Is it sarcastic?
What is this I don't even...?
Is what sarcastic?
When I want a bread roll, I'm having soup. Rolls are smaller than bread buns, and are more of a rolled shape.
When I'm wanting a sarnie, it's either a bread bun or slices of bread.
A butty is a bread bun with chips or anything in it. Sometimes I might have a butty with soup.
A tea cake is toasted, has lashings of butter on it and is sweet with raisins.
A muffin is usually a bun but larger with things like chocolate in or fruit, or those bread things made by Kingsmill that are firm, unlike a bread bun.
Doughnuts have holes in them.

What do you call a jam doughnut?

Butty is only used when its filled, but saying a bacon batch is completely fine still.
The batch term is only really used in and around the Coventry area though, doesn't extend to the whole midlands.
Not to be confused with batch bread, which is Irish.

"Behave", I'm assuming. But why he mentioned it, who knows.

Round here they're called muffins, or a butty when filled with stuff. Barm is weird.

Walked into Greggs.
Asked "how are your baps?"
Left in chains.

Bizarre. Muffins should have blueberries or chocolate chips in them.
No, muffins should be lightly toasted and buttered and filled with a round sausage patty and egg

Soft or crispy?
