From Fife so these are rolls. Roll on sausage, roll on bacon etc. Heard them called different things in different parts of UK.

I'm in Edinburgh, and they are almost exclusively rolls, or morning rolls. Sometimes baps. Not sure that isn't just for the giggles. Never buns. A bun is sweet. But since this is a country that calls sugary fizzy drinks in cans "juice", I don't think we can take the high ground here.
Morning rolls, now? So we're not just changing the word at random based on all the other stuff but also on the time of day?
This reminds me of learning cases in other languages, where words change completely depending on context. And I hates it there too!
Well, this one in the photo is a morning roll. It may even be batch roll (baked as a half dozen so you rip them apart). You may have other rolls names after their attributes. Like a crusty roll, or a well fired roll, or a burger roll, or a dinner roll (smaller, crusty and you eat it with your dinner - which is the meal at the end of the day, not in the middle, that's lunch). But importantly they are rolls 😁
