Its obviously the bread maker that makes the best rowies!!
Bridies or Bradies? Not being be from Aberdeen I call em Bridies, is this a pronunciation issue?
Oh, a definite Thains for me, haven’t been in some 20yrs tho….
Best rowies in the 60s..70s were KENNEDYS Merkland Rd.
I know u posted this 5 years ago but I’m trying to make some rowies for me dad we live in Hull but me dad is fae The Deen & he was born in 1954 so I’m guessin his favourites are probably going to be from around the 60s & 70s I dunno exactly but I’m just trying 2 find out the best ones from the people of Aberdeen’s point of view so that hopefully then I could maybe track down a decent recipe coz if u lookin YouTube & Google for a recipe well they’re all completely different which kinda adds doubt & also makes it hard 2 pick which 1 2 do so anyway i know it’s a long shot but if u do happen to get this msg could u maybe let me know a bit about the best rowies from around tht time that a kid from logie gardens might of had when he was a wee bairn plz? Thankyou 👍🏻 Leanne
Got to be Aitkens; well fired!
