Re: Ebay auction: can any Aberdonians tell me if this is good value?

Crumpets pale into insignificance once you've tasted the genuine article. I'd say it's not bad value at all (not strictly an Aberdonian myself, but my gran was )

It's not just a rowie - it's an Aitkins rowie!

If anyone's curious, place an order and I'll bring some down to the BFG. (I think they retail for slightly less than the current bid )

At that price selling one would cover your BFG bar bill easily £240 with one DAY to go.

Yes, dunno and definitely

(maybe you have heard of it under a different name, in Dundee they call them Aberdeen rolls, Butter rolls or Butterys - but, by any other name, they taste almost as good as the ones you get in the Granite City itself)

Yup! Well worth tasting, they are very good, if not slightly lethal. They sell them in the cafe at work every morning, 26p each

Hi guys,

hate to disagree with you all, but I think they are disgusting. Like eating a lard roll/softie which has gone stale.

However, The Aiken Softie.... Mmm I do miss those!!

Lotsa love Lorna x-x
