Girls just wanna have bun

To me, it is exciting when a word implies both a slang term for a body part and a delicious food item.
I can think of no better example of such than “bun” ( though probably “melons” come in second.)
With the recent infiltration of buns in Lebanon, I feel it is both timely and essential that they are discussed.
Bun can indicate a well-toned buttocks (preferably when plural) or any number of bread-based food items. I will focus now on the latter meaning, as it is most relevant to this particular blog. In another medium, I would love to discuss buns not meant for consumption to fulfill nutritional needs, however.
What all can a bun be? There are two essential categories.

1. an intentionally-shaped bread chunk convenient for cradling hamburgers, hot dogs, or any number of meats, spreads, vegetables and condiments. Like these:

2. a sweet “roll,” typically (though not always) consumed during breakfast hours, or “the first meal." Hark! here is one:

I will acknowledge now that, in today’s English, definitely number one is more common. When a person is asked to “pick up some buns at the store,” it is unlikely said person will question if they are to purchase rolls made to hold grilled meats or a luring young man.
The diversity of this type of bun is especially significant. Any number of seasonings or seeds can be baked onto or into it and appeal to the masses. Onion. Poppyseed. Garlic. Sesame. Pepper. Gummi bear. Moreover, its size can be anything from oblong to perfectly round and still make it onto many a dinner table across the nation.

Sometimes I resent that a bun can also indicate a sugary baked good for morning, characteristics that, to me, indicate a donut, a food genre with far more selection. Moreover, I cannot help but consider the popular chain, Cinnabon, at this time. No yeasty indulgence is worth a glycemic coma.

That’s all for now. I’ve gotta tend to a bun in the oven.
