What’s a breakfast roll?

Edit: yes, I guess it’s a roll you only have at breakfast, but is there something that forbids them the rest of the day? Do you have special rolls for each meal?

    And that warrants its own knife?

    Breakfast roll refers to both the food and the after event. Both need their own knife, but some use the same knife, a shared knife, if you will.

    It’s sorta an English breakfast folded into a French baguette. I guess it’s an acquired taste: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakfast_roll

    That doesn't look anything like what they mean by breakfast rolls in Germany. These look much more like it: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%B6tchen

    They are topped with butter, followed by cheese or minced meat. Or, in the morning, people tend to prefer sweet toppings such as jam or hazelnut nougat spread.

    Yikes! This is an affront to the sacred tradition of Frühstücksbrötchen.
