What to have with a buttery...this and new food experiences

[sparkling]

My daughter in law bought be six butteries the other day. I had one with just butter on it, another with some cheese and later a fish finger sandwich. I think I could get addicted to this newly found food experience.

It's a bit like a cross between a croissant and a cracker if you can imagine such a thing.

No, a North East of Scotland delicacy like a salty, dense croissant.

The answer to the query is melted cheese.

Butteries are excellent - an improvement on the croissant, that or the croissant is a copy of the buttery.

I recommend putting in the toaster and then adding blackcurrant jam.

Actually I did not really get into the buttery until an adult, despite growing up in Scotland. They are quite specific to the northeast and the slightly strange people that live there: I am from the more proper part of the country. Along with a couple of other things I first started getting them when shopping with someone else who wanted to try some Scottish delicacies.

 

[Saunders]

I just looked them up and they sound as though they might be rather nice but all the photos have the jam spread on top of them, on the crust, which somehow looks wrong. Are they not ever split through the middle? Doesn’t the topping just slide off?

Why can't the Scottish have proper names for things? "Ye ken that crackery croissant? Tastes quite buttery, no?"

Just for clarification, this is my attempt at amusement. Apologies in advance, etc.

After coming late and being a bit sniffy about trying one after the disastrous scotch pie try out, I have to say the buttery was delicious and very moreish. Do you think they're fattening?

This sounds dangerous.

I didn't know what a buttery was until now and I'm pretty sure I've never had one.

That is something I shall seek to remedy, as they look ace.

it's the wrong name for a rowie Though butteries tend to be a bit puffier than rowies ime, whole thread about them in the Scotland forum, I used to bring them down to London with me, no-one ever said no to extras

they are a cardiac waiting to happen, especially the ones you get wi bacon and cheese in them. Home Bargains sell them, give them a try, they're fine with sweet or savoury toppings I have found, they also don't go out of date. If they go a bit dry toast it and add butter

You need to try a macaroni cheese pie! Same type of pastry/casing as a Scotch pie but filled with macaroni cheesey goodness. Mmmm.

Will have to have a look if the local one stocks any.

It doesn't sound tempting but neither did a buttery, so I will give the macaroni pie a go

They are wonderful. They’d tempt me back off the wagon into dairy.

You also need to try black bun. Thinly sliced and eaten with coffee or tea.

How on earth can a macaroni cheese pie sound grim?

A decent Scotch pie is a wonderful thing, in part because of the thin crumbly pastry. I can't see how you can go wrong if you fill one of those with macaroni cheese instead.

Will the normal local bakers do all the above?
I think I need to start a food in the Scotland forum

I’d have thought so, although Selkirk bannocks are a traditional Borders thing. But they are widespread.

Mind you, you’re in the North East, which is, well, a bit weird.

Although Scottish macaroni pies are good, the best ones come from Trinidadian takeaways and are smothered in hot sauce.
