'Buttery' ... ? There's nae butter in a proper 'rowie' ... it's lard/beef drippin' ... tae refer tae it as a buttery is like referin' tae a salt an' vinegar crisp as a 'sweetie'. ... maks nae sense .
'Roll' ... ? Aye, OK, the word 'row' in Doric an' ither Scots tongues is substitute for 'roll' ... eg. ... "Ah rowed it up in ma parka an' wakked oot wi it, an' naebody wis nane the wiser"
But ... if ye order a bacon, or egg, or bacon an' egg roll .. an' expect yer bacon and/or egg will be tucked intae a rowie ... or sandwiched atween two, ye'll be sadly disappointed!
Then there's yer sassidge roll, yer Swiss roll, yer mornin' roll, yer spring roll etc .... nane o' which resemble a 'rowie' .... so why deny the uniqueness an' iconic status o' the rowie, by callin it by the name o' a disparate class tae which it jist disna fkn belong?
Ah close my case by way o' mentionin' that I have on a few occasions chatted wi' the mighty Graeme Thain ... and the 'rowie' has figured in most conversations. NEVER has the almighty Graeme of world class rowie producer fame referred to his masterpiece in terms of 'Buttery' or 'Roll' ... and that, folks, is prob all you need to know ahead of your efforts to remove the words 'buttery' and 'roll' from your cakeholes regarding future references to ROWIES.
