Butter or margarine?

So you wouldn't like some butter with those rolls then?

Well I would. I love it when people do stuff for me

No, it's called being presumptuous and interfering. They might have the best intentions but they're hardly saving anyone time at all.

Tannies, just leave the bloody rolls alone. The only people who greatly appreciate you slathering a 4 inch layer of cow on their bread are probably the same crowd who believe that you should shutup while men talk politics. Leave the rolls alone. Stand up for equality!!!

Know what's worse than the person buttering all the rolls?

The idiot who microwaves all the rolls. Thanks, now I have 1 minute to eat this before IT TURNS INTO A ROCK

The best is their reaction when you ask for an un-buttered roll. One of shock, horror and complete dismay. "I don't understand, darl. What do you mean you don't eat butter? Are you some kind of allergic or something? That's crazy talk. Just have a roll and pretend there's no butter on it, or try scrape it off. Gosh Martha, did you hear this picky guy? Says he doesn't eat butter. I hear he also has a tattoo on his hoo-hoo, darl. I don't know what the world is coming to. I feel faint. Someone call my psychic"

Are you not capable of buttering your own roll? That's the point I'm getting at. There is no need to pick up 4 dozen rolls and think "hey this isn't right, there's no butter. I like butter, so let me butter every fscking roll I can find."

It's genetic programming. See it evolved from Caveman times when the cavemen were gnawing wolly mammoth bones around the fire in between grunting to each other. The women stuck together as a group and with nothing better to do, smeared Mammoth grease on the meat slices to to make sarmies. It's evolved to groups of women buttering every roll in sight at a braai and I hate buttered rolls dammit.

Rolls should always be cut from the top, not the side. You can get far more in the cavity cut from the top than from the side. It's also easier to eat. You'll see people inevitably turning a side-cut roll sideways to get the cavity on top and prevent spillage. Just cut the damn top to begin with...

Agreed, it's my biggest gripe with pre-cut rolls is they always go sideways.

i had a peculiar upbringing.
I "tear" rolls, and some types of bread.
It's my mother's fault, her family is italian & they behave like barbaric Philistines at the table.

My father's family however, is british & rather "twee".
Everything as far as they are concerned, is dealt with by means of knife & fork (the more the merrier).

I seem unable to shake the Philistine in me !

I think you may be startled at the amount of people who dash into the kitchen "in the event of an emergency".
I suspect the figure is somewhat higher than those who actually care to admit !

Sandwich rolls C hot dog buns U

Would you use a hot dog roll for a sandwich roll? My mental image of a sandwich roll is like a baguette or panini roll, those would be foolish to cut from the top.

I think he means hamburger roll.

Always figured that the round ones are "buns" whilst the long ones are "rolls"

Well what shape is a Portuguese roll?

There are exceptions to every rule. Although those are longer than regular buns.

Would anyone in SA really say a "hamburger roll"? Or a "hotdog bun", except bwana of course but his people generally call things by different names.

According to wiki a bun can be long and skinny too and come in different shapes and sizes so I guess everything is a bun.
