Aberdeen's main dish is an uncomplicated rowie - a butter pie, something in between a pancake and a croissant, which is smeared with jam or butter. In the old days, the rowie served as a good feed for local fishermen, who spent many hours at sea. Today, this snack can be found in any cafe and restaurant, as well as in bakeries and supermarkets.
