Ive heard of Butteries being referred to as "Aberdeenies".

Is this a thing?

Not in anywhere that matters.

Everyone knows that there is no such thing as a rowie, they are butteries.

City is to rowie as 'Shire is to buttery as I understand it.

Whatever they are they sound horrendous.

Overly salty, greasy, flattened and best when crispy and warm. They sound horrendous but are quite the thing to get the blood pressure raised in the morning.

I have more issue with the Doric tradition of a pie with onions and brown sauce served in a roll as a "breakfast".

Known as Butteries in the Howe O’ Alford.

Exactly my point!

For the love of god can someone please post a rumour about the next Utd manager?

I think that you must have been in the North East of England.

Just to chime in with the baked goods survey, the preferred nomenclature in Shetland is 'butteries'. Is someone drawing up a dialect map?

If anyone in Kintore calls a buttery an Abereenie they should be shown the door.

Lehs! It is us "earthy types" that call it a rowie, it's the dung chuckers fae Turra', 'Rurie and Rothie that call them Butteries, as they cluck around like hens pumping their cousins.
Until you reach the Broch, where they are simply, rolls.

Cookies in Peterhead. I have no info on the Dundee United manager.

It's going to be McClaren. Seen him outside Tannadice when I walked to work this morning.

The rowie description or the pie in a roll? If it's the latter, I only encountered that up in Aberdeen.

Are we sure we are talking the same thing here? While it's been some time since I last ventured that far North, I don't remember rowies being a thing in the Northern Isles. Are they baked locally or do they come pre-packaged, as I have seen those.

The reason this has gone off topic is that people are trying to avoid discussing the possibility of MacKay taking up the hot seat.

[Shandon Par]

This rowies/butteries discussion is fine but if Malky ends up as United manager I'd suggest steering the conversation away from the nomenclature of various takeaway foods.

Butteries aren't huge in Shetland, but they are there. The ones I had when I was last up there came from the Walls bakery, and perfectly adequate they were too...

Can’t wait to hear how Steve pronounces rowie tbqhwy

The pie in a roll with brown sauce. I must have missed more in my youth than I realise. Although, from a personal point of view, you can shove a pie in a roll as far away from me as possible.

I would class the 'pie piece' as native of Lanarkshire.  It's not something I encountered during my formative years in Aberdeen.
