Anything but. Plain bread cakes in England have a variety of names depending
on the location and the size/shape of the cake. In Wigan they are called
barm cakes unless they are the larger flatter variety which are called oven
bottoms (guess where they are baked) or the smaller variety which are called
baps or the ones with the brown crust which are called tea cakes unless they
have sesame seeds on top in which case they are called burger buns which are
not native. Oh, and some people actually call them muffins <g>.
[BTW one thing I was not impressed with in the US was the bread. Definitely
inferior to English. Also, if you wanted to add another "acquired taste" to
the Rangernet menu you could always add German pumpernickel bread. You
probably couln't even taste any vegemite which was on it! As for German
sausages they're the wurst <g>]
