    In the UK we would call it one of the following depending where you live.

    • Muffin
    • Bread roll
    • Barm cake
    • Cob
    • Bun
    • Bap

    If I dared to travel 15 minutes in any direction and use the wrong word they would be sure to say do you mean X. Even though they know exactly what I mean.

        To be a pedant I would say the burger goes in, but yes.

        North Manchester myself and we would call it a muffin. I know a muffin in North America would be a small cake kinda thing.

        I drive 60 mins to work and I’m asking for a Barm.

          Okay, well then I’m not sure what the issue is. The person is holding up a hamburger and the outside of the hamburger is the bun or the muffin or whatever.

            Oh I’m sorry for the confusion.

            I was saying it’s a muffin as I really don’t see a burger so it just looks like a muffin.

            I’m not trying to cause an argument here, perhaps a misunderstanding on all parts.

              Considering they called it a burger, I think it’s safe to assume it’s a burger.

          Here I quit my job over RTO and a 35min train commute.

          You need usable transit, my dude.

            I only do two days in the office now.

            If I took the train it would be around 2 hours to get there. I did for a while and it hurt lol.

            I am lucky in that I work as a software dev for a tiny company and they’re very chill in all aspects, although I would like to WFH full time but I feel in time I’ll get that.
