No, muffins should be lightly toasted and buttered and filled with a round sausage patty and egg
That's a scone, even if McDonalds call them muffins. A muffin has berries/nuts/chocolate in it and is shaped like a mushroom.
What is it with Manchester people?

A scone is made in a different way and has a completely different texture and structure. I am on about a lovely bread like muffin not a cake wannabe

You try going into MaccyDs and asking for a bacon and egg McBarm
McDonald's use the term 'muffin' to describe both their breakfast item and their cakes which must be confusing to a foreigner.

Nope
That's an American Muffin...
Lies! I've seen them buying muffin baskets with proper muffins on the television set. Perhaps in America their McMuffins are actually muffins with chocolate chips, bacon and egg...and they just changed them to scones over here so they'd remain the fattest nation on Earth.

No, bread rolls (ie the little things you get with soup) are marketed as bread rolls, as they should be.
Teacakes are teacakes, currant teacakes are currant teacakes, oven bottom muffins are oven bottom muffins and barms don't exist.

The voice of reason.
They're probably region specific, no one in Yorkshire would buy that.
I mean Cobs? Corn on the Cob?

Hey you! I object to that!
Its a well known regional thing up here - and as far south as the West Midlands - and its a traditional thing that we have were we can generally take the mick out of those people who call a barm/muffin/roll/bap/cob "How odd are they" wink wink etc
Its called having regional pride and character - unlike London where if its not a recognised why of doing/saying/naming something then its wrong and stupid

I'd say bread roll and I guarantee no one in Manchester would look at me funny if I asked for a bread roll, if they happened to have one of course. Otherwise they would look at me funny.
They might say barm cakes but its not like saying BREAD ROLL is going to make them mentally implode, it only takes a split second to register what is meant by bread roll. Or bread bun @ op.
You must have flabbergasted them with your dress sense.

I'm from Cambridge and a butty is reasonably common for describing a sandwich, never just the bread product itself though.The south
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
