Rowies, Butteries, Aberdeen Rolls, fa loves um?

[quimcunx]

Well the one thing rowies are missing is sugar and a bit more fat so yeah, go for it!

 

[pogofish]

I'm wanting a Rowie with butter and golden syrup right now but can't be bothered to trek down to the bakers.

 

[geminisnake]

Asda's just along the road! Them and chocolate cookies are the only things I go to that shop for

 

[geminisnake]

I got a bargain last night. 8 4 packs for 3p each! Sorted

 

[pogofish]

I'm beginning to yearn for a rowie now!

 

[geminisnake]

That's what you get for going to foreign places

 

[pogofish]

I am well rowied-up now!

 

[xenon]

How do you pronounce this. Row rhyming with crow. Orrnow? Got to be a winter thing I think but I would try one. sound a bit like scotch pancakes. Which come to think of it I haven't eaten for years.

 

[pogofish]

Row - as in argument and ies - as in tellies

 

[geminisnake]

Biddlybee dunno if you ever looked but this is the rowie thread

 

[Biddlybee]

I'm still not sure I've tried them

 

[wiskey]

Oh you should, you really really should!!

*I want some now!*

 

[Biddlybee]

I don't live in Scotland.

 

[wiskey]

Me neither

 

[geminisnake]

I'm still not sure I've tried them

I really thought you had received at least one on my various visits. I know wiskey and spangles did, but that's all I can remember

 

[pogofish]

I saw a cajun-spiced rowie in the baker not long ago. Flavour of the week!

 

[pogofish]

Rowie Ice Cream anyone...?

Mackie's creates Buttery and Jam ice cream for Aberdeen music festival - Evening Express

 

[geminisnake]

Not sure about rowie ice cream tbh And Mackie's are yoons so I don't buy their products.

Yoons?

 

[pogofish]

Yoons?

For the Union - ie anti-independence.

 

[pogofish]

And Mackie's are yoons so I don't buy their products.

I can remember back to the time when Mackie's made a fairly principled stand against the Tories by going out of their way to offer jobs to people remaindered by cutbacks - at the same pay grades and similar conditions.

Whatever his politics (Old-style Liberal) and uber-worthy status, old Sir Maitland was IME a rare, genuinely good man who did a lot for this part of the world and its people. I worked quite a bit with him in his last years (he was also on our board) and saw at first hand how hard he went at it - well above and beyond virtually all the other members and with none of the elitism/standoffishness of most. Its a lot more complex than them just being Yoons. In most other ways, their corporate values are just about in the right place!

Made a new discovery recently:

Micro-Rowies - and very moreish they are too!

 

[pogofish]

The new artisan baker at Crathie nr Balmoral has started producing these beauties:

Look at the thickness of that..!

And it seems you can get them from the honesty box outside her house too. I think I'll be stopping whenever I pass by now.

 

[geminisnake]

I'm tempted to go to Crathie now

 

[pogofish]

She has a drop-off/outlet in Banchory and maybe Stony soon.

They are worth it - Even third-day, heatup under the grill and its a delicious crispy outside but still soft and fluffy inside - Lovely

Told us she uses 50/50 butter/Lard in her recipe and they are nae too salty either.

 

[geminisnake]

Banchory is just over the hill

 

[pogofish]

Got some Cheese and Onion Rowies in Ballater yesterday - Flaming lovely. They may not last long enough for a photo..!

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Never had one of these as far as I know, although might have done on holidays as a kid. I've only been to Aberdeen once or twice though, so maybe not.

Breakfast awaits:

Those look like they've been battered and deep fried.

 

[pogofish]

They contain enough lard to ensure they don't need to be..!

 

[polly]

They are so fucking nice. I don't even think they have as much lard or whatever as your average croissant
