But they are using flour etc to make them one presumes?
Yes -
'Originally they were made from leftover bread dough with added butter and sugar, hand-rolled into buns and left to dry in the dying heat of the oven
It is thought their name comes from the hand-sewn Dorset knob buttons that were also made locally
They can be eaten with Blue Vinny cheese, dipped in tea or cider, or taken with honey and cream - known locally as thunder and lightning'
Sound nice but I s'pose the ones being thrown are a day or more old so they're hard.
Floo regrettable as it may be there is lot of excess food thrown away in this country & more than a few old rolls. Meat & veg, deli stuff. Supermarket skips are filled up with good food every day. 'nuff to make you become a Freegan!
