I just looked at the banner image and I don't recognize most of them
even though I spent my early life in the UK. I suspect lots of them are
regional, but I'll settle down and read the article.

Graham, what is the name of that bread roll I used to come across a lot
in the midlands in the 60s and 70s, and again in London in the 70s and
80s, round, domed, basically all crust and hollow inside? looking nice
but a tasteless swindle of an empty roll.

We have a different set of breads in Ireland, many with local names, but
one that seems to be making headway elsewhere after getting its AOC, the
Waterford Blaa, which is like a bap but round not square, getting its
name from a corruption of the French "blanc" (white) in reference to the
finer flour used at a time when common flour was brown.

Thanks for posting this
