aaaarrrghh the bread roll

always shaken

Went to a big wedding the other day 100+ guests
am I the only one who eats their bread roll correctly?
every one seems to cut theirs in half and butters it (as if to make a sandwich)
I just want to stab them in the hand, aaarrrgh

There is no 'right' or 'wrong' way to eat...just people being snobs

As long as you manage to eat it....its fine.

Makes no difference how you eat it, all comes out the same colour.

Thunderpussy

Except after a night drinking Guinness. )

Um, so what is the "right" way to butter a roll? That's the way I've always done it. Then again, it could be an American thing, such as switching the fork from left to right--something I'm actually trying to stop, since I think it makes more sense to keep the fork in the left hand. It's hell trying to eat peas this way, though. . .

Technically one ( :007) ) is supposed to break off a small piece of the roll, butter it, eat it, then repeat the process.

minigeff

As far as the peas are concerned, I just pick the plate up and tip the little bastards in, either that or mush the buggers up then shovel em home.

The breads a waste of time and buggers up your guts for the main course, it's better used to chuck at the snobs or get the waiter's attention.

Luckily I can get a roll in my mouth in one go, So no problem there. )

Jedi Master

How small a piece are we talking here? Because maybe everybody else was just breaking one big piece off their roles, but to you it looked like they were breaking them in half.

I eat my peas with honey
I've done it all my life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on the knife

Domino makes a practical (if lyrical!) point.

I tend to use sauces to "glue" peas, corn, beans etc. together, unless the are in their own sauce like baked beans or lentils.

Re the bread rolls - small ones I cut into them and splurge a small about of marge in. Large ones I rip in half. - At a do involving a meal it also depends how much soup is served as the starter.

The trick is to not make a mess! :v

I agree with always shaken. It's a shame that British etiquette is being eroded, it's something to be proud of. Now all you lot know how it should be done, go forth and be ambassadors for a very Bondian thing.

Thank you ASP 9MM, and to you also barbell,wasnt trying to be a roll snob (much) 8-)
but just trying to share my knowledge (all be it limited) on this small minefield,
as we are all trying our best to emulate our hero ,it would be a shame to say roll up at your fave
restaurant in your best Tom Ford accessorised out fit ,sporting the latest Omega ,ordering
your vodka martini just so, only to ruin it ,cutting your bread roll in half ,like a prem league football star )

That leaves the question, - prick with a fork, or just bite the end off?
