Don't you just hate it when you really have a fancy for something but can't find any nutrition information for it :( damn craving a buttery x
 
A what? Haven't heard of one of those, what is it?
 
Just guesstimate, you'll survive.

A buttery it's like a flat roll, think it's only a Scottish thing other names for them are a rowie, a rollie or an Aberdeen roll 🙂 x
 
I'm intrigued, what is a buttery? I'm from dahn south and haven't come across one.
 
You'll get more practised at eyeballing and guesstimating, I just went for a walk followed by tea at the garden centre, and had a choc brownie with my cuppa to stave off a post walk hypo, ( was 4.8 on arrival at the cake counter) stuck 2 units in and hoped for the best, seems to have worked, I'm 8.7 at the 1hr and a half mark, which I expect to be the highest, so not too bad considering....

Nope nothing like that either, they have a kind of salty taste and are absolutely delicious x

Thanks.
Intresting, not seen one before.
We are definitely learning something about differnt name for foods.
The next town to where I am from though it was a different county called fish cakes, what I knew as fish Pattie. The fish cake I knew was fish and mash covered in batter, and a pattie was sliced potatoe with some fish in the middle in batter.

May give that a go actually, I really have the urge to have one, btw people they are not the healthiest things and suspect I may need to inject a bit in advance due to the fact they are traditionally made with lard x
