Wikimedia Commons  Blaa  A blaa is a doughy, white bread bun
(roll) speciality particularly associated with Waterford,
Ireland.[1] Historically, the blaa is also believed to have been
made in Kilkenny and Wexford.[2]  The blaa, often misspelled as
"bla" or "blah", is usually very soft and covered with white
flour. This variety of blaa is more chewy, while the second
popular variety has a crusty but tasty exterior. Blaas are
sometimes confused with a similar bun, known as a bap, which is
often served with less flour. They are square in shape and are
most notably identified by the white flour shaken over them
before the baking process.  Eaten mainly at breakfast with
butter,[citation needed] they are also eaten at other times of
the day with a wide variety of fillings, including a type of
luncheon meat often referred to as red lead[
