Top, Bottom or Both?

Jump to newest

As an Englishman in Scotland I have been perturbed for sometime now over buttering rolls! I was brought up (dragged some would say) to butter top and bottom, I have met many people in Scotland that only butter the bottom of a roll, for the life of me I can’t understand why only the bottom? No one does the top only. What makes it worse is the fact that when making a sandwich from sliced bread these ‘bottom only people’ butter top and bottom.

Is this one of those mysteries that is, as it is or is there an underlying explanation as to why bottom only? I need educating

Some people are just weird. Others are frugal. Financially prudent.

Both as in frugal and financially prudent. Or like both sides buttered?

I’ll raise another weird one along the same genre - butter or jam ? I’ve been asked when ordering pancakes or scones... butter or jam ! Are they clinically insane what are they even saying.. surely it’s both items required on those baked goodies

Exactly can’t have one without the other unless substituting the butter for clotted cream

In most cases for me... Neither...

I only butter a roll when I'm having it on its own.

Mind you I don't eat rolls that often.

Substitute? I’d say clotted cream would be a worthy addition to the butter and jam combination, let’s not be taking anything away here now lol

Very much depends what's going on the middle. If it's a "wet" filling bottom only will suffice. If it's dry, top and bottom. If it's jam or lemon curd though top and bottom ...

How do you serve chocolate OP.

The brown sauce goes on top, if your gay you will use ketchup (ketchup being a word derived from the Chinese language)

A roll in Aberdeen is a different thing, only one side buttered. We call them Rowies.

But Softies just one side

Definitely has to be buttered top and bottom, unless a condiment is being added on top at which point it can be overlooked.

Ayrshire

Top & bottom unless its for soup then I take it dry

Theres a few cafes Ive been to that only done the bottom, I always assumed they were either lazy or stingy I didn't realise this was actually a thing

The real weirdos are the ones that only toast one side of the bread

Can’t see the point in only buttering one side.

So it’s both for me

Always with a glass of red at room temp in big glass, but most importantly with a lady that likes the early hours

Butter on the bottom. Pretty much always on the top.

Butter melting and mixing with sauce is minging so can’t butter both.

I butter the bottom of rolls, bottom on a piece but sometimes I will do the topside of a piece.

I was brought up with only one side done due to financial constraints.

Some people think it's lazy doing one side but is it not healthier also

I don't eat jam unless it's on a scone,always with butter...

Clotted cream, what is the point of it?

Depends what's going in it. If it has mayo/sauce etc I don't butter at all - shocking I know

Bottom only. the top is for sauce or pickle or whatever your condiment of choice is in either a roll

( not cob or tea cake or bam or any other misdescription of a ROLL ) or on a sandwich
