A fair few UK foods but you don't even know what a "soft white bread roll" is? Can see this being a non starter.......

  • Hi Niel,

    This might be what we call a dinner roll here in North America - like a smallish round bread made from white flour?

  • I’m UK and find that a more general search gets better results. For example if you just search ‘bread’ then it has ‘bread roll soft white’ not too far down the list. I found that when I searched for Red Leicester cheese and it didn’t show up, but when I just searched for cheese then it showed.

    Its worth sticking with it

  • I've just had 25 g of Rice Krispies for breakfast and Cronometer says I have had 156% of my Iron for today. I didn't think this could be right so researched. Apparently the US version of Rice Krispies has 4 times the amount of iron added compared to UK. I tried changing the label from US to European but didn't seem to make any difference.

  • Maybe a sweet roll plain under common foods.
