I'm thinking Cormack has one of those bagel slicer machines that you see on American TV programmes and maybe deploys that to slice his butterys. If you were trying to slice one manually you're going to end up in hospital.

Absolutely correct NOR!

It really is about time we sorted this out once and for all. Buttery and rowie are acceptable terms, but clearly wrong. It's correct term is a roll, but these other terms have become acceptable through use.
In terms of chippie. Surely that is a joiner in the same way that a sparky is an electrician. Therefore the correct term for a fish and chip shop is chipper. Glad I could help clarify.

It’s all these bloody outsiders getting confused over the term “roll” when in fact it’s less confusing.
If I ask for a sausage roll , I will mean a sausage roll, not a sausage softie.
However in weegieland they would have to say roll and sausage if it’s a sausage softie they mean.
Even then it would be better in a bap than a softie and the sausage should never ever, under no circumstances be square.
Obviously it’s chipper as a chippy is indeed a joiner.
Torry of course, isn’t really in Aberdeen.
Although we allowed them associate membership because of Aitkens.
A proper Aitkens roll.
Crisp and crumbly, couldn’t have been sliced in half anyway.

Obviously you need to be selective about your roll so one of the thicker ones are better (you don't want one of those which have thick and thin bits). Flat chopping board, sharp serrated knife and slowly, applying some pressure on the top of the roll, start cutting, keeping a sharp eye that your cut is bisecting the roll evenly.
Stick it in the oven /toaster to warm while you fry your egg, best to break the yolk. Nectar

It has to be square. Otherwise you'd be as well getting a union jack tattooed to your head..

Nothing more unionist than square sausage.
Masons if you ask me.

Far too much piety on display,and nae doot a touch of hypocrisy,with regard to Scott Brown’s pavement photograph. The account below is from the P&J in March 1923, This is a proper mannies’ fitba’ nicht oot and an interesting extension of a cheese and wine party. Note to current players: the defence solicitor’s plea in mitigation was that ‘he scored the goal’
‘An Aberdeen footballer’s Saturday night carousal led to his appearance along with a woman, before Bailie Wright at the Aberdeen Police Court yesterday on a charge of theft.
He was Douglas Thomson, inside right of the Aberdeen football team, and the woman was Mary Taylor, residing in Guestrow, They were charged with stealing eight bottles containing a quart, a pint, and two gills of whisky, two gills of port wine, 1½ pints of stout and two pints of beer, 12 ounces of cheese, five slices of bread and a bottle of lemonade from the Bon-Accord Hotel, Market Street, Aberdeen early on Sunday morning.
Both pleaded guilty and were represented by Mr R S McKay, solicitor, who said that Thomson was the one who scored the goal against Third Lanark on Saturday.
He went to the Bon-Accord Hotel in the evening to meet some football friends and got some drink – too much, unfortunately – and he remembered nothing more.
Mr Gavin Sinclair (procurator fiscal) said the celebrations commenced in quite an ordinary manner but developed into a carousal and, after leaving the hotel, Thomson made one or two more visits.
He met the woman and her husband. All had been drinking, and the woman went back with Thomson to the hotel. Unfortunately when they were coming away with the stolen articles they were “nabbed” by a policeman.
Each of the accused was fined 30s, the money being paid in court.’
