On the subject of bread rolls - here is a selection from my school lunches:
Round shaped rolls:
Soft rolls
Crusty rolls
Barm cakes
Tea Cakes (with or without fruit)
Muffins (not like American muffins)
Oven Bottoms
Buns
Long/Oval shaped rolls
Bunnies
Crumpets (sometimes called Piklets) are rather different, a flat bread like thing, with holes in the top

I had never seen anything like it in England. It was a little like a double crumpet with a flat top and bottom and a holey middle.
At that time I had a friend from the USA who was living in London. She was always discovering rather strange items purporting to be “American” so she told me not to worry. Recently a supplier must have discovered “English Muffins” in the USA and they are now on sale in England as “muffins”.
