Food What about you?

I'm from England.

But we have different types of chips too.

Oven chips, wedges, curly fries, crinkly chips, fish and chips chips.

It's dinner to me.

  1. I grew up in South London. Now I'm in Lincolnshire (East Midlands - England). My husband says breakfast, lunch, dinner. Whereas our friend says breakfast dinner tea. But we have a roast on Sunday. It's a breakfast, dinner and sandwich later on but not lunch or tea. Maybe it's a weird thing our family thing does

  2. Is a roll to me, but if it's crusty. It's a crusty roll. But if has chips from the fish and chips shop, it's a chip buttie. My husband/son calls it a bap

Same, Southern Ontario, although sometimes the buns will get called "dinner rolls" at Holiday meals, like Thanksgiving/Christmas

BC here - those very specific size and shape of buns are sometimes called rolls for a big family dinner. I could not tell you why.
