Cheers Too many of the generic supermarket ones are like rolls, really thick. If you can get a good crispy rowie (almost pastry like) they are the bollocks imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my previous comment. Loads of bakers (and shite supermarkets) make them quite roll like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I missed Scottish style morning rolls when I moved to Lancs, but have recently discovered the local Asda here in Accrington does a reasonable imitation which they call white baps. Not sure if they produce similar throughout the UK - these ones I get are produced in their own "in store" bakery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The crispy morning roll is a thing of great beauty.Only available in the central belt.

The point is you cant get a good roll anywhere else and it boils my piss. Stupud spongy floury things appear the order of the day in Aberdeen for example, and they are fucking shite.No issue with rowies but you dont have a rowie on square slice do you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) No one in the US has the first fucking clue of what a morning roll should be. Bread typically here just falls to pieces seconds after being introduced to a bit of sausage or, heaven forbid, dunked in a bowl of homemade lentil soup. So I now make my own. I feel like Richard Briers in The Good Life. Turns out I make a cracking loaf of bread and morning rolls. Now if I could only get my mitts on a slice or two of square...

The one in between the soft and the well fired. Amazing for hot or cold filled rolls. The only negative about them is they really dont last. Have to purchased and consumed on the morning they were made. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the 'insiders' are perfect, a hot slice of lorne or a bacon & tattie scone double will soften the hard edge of an 'outsider' in approx 1min30secs I know too much about these matters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop up here to the wild borderlands of Perthshire and Angus. Our co-op has all three varieties on offer every morning. The crispy, well-fired ones are great with scrambled eggs. Agree about the one between soft and well-fired especially with square sliced. Floury one just rubbish though.

jimmy boo Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 They sell them in Scottish Aldi stores jimmy, 4 in a packet. Is it just a hard roll to break your teeth on? Doesn't sound very appealing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
