    absolutely, I can never remember if I am eating a roll or a bun. I eat rolls and my ex-husband calls them buns, whereas I thought a bun was sweet.......

    Perhaps that is why he is my ex???

    hmmmmmm rolls or buns; buns or rolls. Rolls are like with a meal, buns are with hamburgers or hot dogs. Maybe not - cause there are honey buns which are sweet and gooey......Oh! I am sooooooooooooooooo confused!! H-E-L-P!!!
