Aberdeen butteries (commonly called rowies) which is a cholesterol laden morning roll. Copied (badly) in some other parts of Scotland even though the recipe is not a secret. Yummy!

Yes I actually lightly warm mine in the toaster and put lashings of more cholesterol on top, nothing else. There's a baker near here who my son and his mates and hundreds of others used to visit in the early hours of Saturday am for warm rowies just out of the oven. It's a wonder the bakers had any left to sell on a Saturday. I know rowies being taken all over the globe-in fact when my pa was alive and living in Dunblane I used o take rowies to him for the freezer cos he missed them.

Morning Puddicat,

I love porridge. In the West Indies they have a peanut porridge and it is to die for!!!

The rowies sound fab too, it is bread yes?? so what do you put on it or in it???

scotgal

Funnygirl rowies are made up of a dough mix as for bread but rolled out with knobs of fat as you would for puff pastry then fashioned into roll shapes and baked in a hot oven till crispy and they are lipsmackingly delicious. OMG I'm slavering I'll have to go to the bakers for my fix!

Next time I go to Edinburgh, I am not coming back til I've tried one of these rowies!!!

Many years ago when i was a young un, about 2.30am us drunken rabble used to go in the back door of the local bakery and get just made hot pasties and sausage rolls, arrrrrrrrrr the memories!!!!

I'm not sure you'll get proper rowies in Edinburgh funnygirl - last time I was there and bought some (many years ago I admit) what they passed off as rowies were mere imposters! Puddicat where is this porridge seller who murders our other national dish?

Thanks puddicat - I'm afraid I'm a traditionalist when it comes to porridge and just like it with a bit of full cream milk or if feeling more decadent a splash of single cream! I should be like the side of a house but I don't eat it very often. Did you know that long ago the hill shepherds used to make a big pot of porridge spread it out in a drawer in their bothy and cut of a slice each day for their "piece". The hygiene police would have a field day but there were a lot of fit and healthy shepherds!
