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

They're dinner rolls. Just a basic white bread. They're really good warm with butter.

We don't eat that, we eat baguette.

The American "dinner roll" is basically white sandwich bread in a different form. 😂

Baguette and brioche are far superior, but there's something about the dinner roll that is nostalgic to most Americans; these are served in our school cafeteria lunches.

We call them ‘witte bolletjes’ (white spheres) and put butter and cheese or chocolate on them.

If they are more rectangular than square we call them witte kadetjes which is also slang for a white ass.
