I've heard nowt about a black pudding ( and if we're talking black pudding, I'll direct you a fair distance North-West to Stornoway) hybrid version, though I'm prepared to be convinced.
I'm a twenty-seven year ex-pat of the Riviera so I'm nae fully au fait with contemporary happenings.
Rowies were invented in Aberdeen. It was the fishermens choice of food as the didnt go off due to the amount of fat on them. Perfect for the long trips at sea as normal bread goes stale too quick
So if Premnay are claiming the buttery (its a f@cking rowie for the record) they are full of pish
A certain poster loves them too

And they can do the same with “Moray” - that’s Elgin, and its Detroitian hybridism of minted posh ****s and dregs of society zoomer minkers. Tomintoul’s nae in Moray, nor is Keith. And “Banff, Aberdeenshire” frilliuvafuuck? Portsoy Banffshire is the home of Donald’s bakery that hand-crafts Proper Mannies’ oatcakes (ie breid) and their butteries are among the best.
Since Aitken’s fell foul of noncery, a near-acceptable toon alternative is Thain’s rolls, which have the desired hertburn-inducing quantities of high octane grease and the crispy consistency of gravel crushed under a Banffshire road-mender’s Red Wing 3208 boot.
No no you misunderstood. 'Premnay butteries' is the name of a buttery made for JG Ross's bakery. They are bloody delicious.
For me they are rowies. It's not without exceptions but largely us toonsers call them rowies and country bumpkins call them butteries.
One of the most notable exceptions is the "Aberdeen buttery company" based up in Northfield. Buggered if I know why they chose to flout the 'rules' like that. Does my head in when their van goes past. What sort of Aberdonian uses the word buttery 😠
Packaged (in plastic, so I'll have a green word) just as they come from the oven. formed as triangles, one would suppose but there's nary an equilateral, Isosceles nor right-angled among them. Thickness varies from hun-on-Mastermind to depth-of-Traynor's-morality. Crumblier than a a LSC title challenge and tastier than a Roberto Bisconti tackle.
Excellent buttered with cherry tomatas and grapes to counteract breid's inherent dryness, perhaps crumbled into yer ma's tattie soup*, or with Proper Mannies' stovies.
