Scots takeaway goes viral after debate over their salt and chilli tattie scones

A Facebook post from a Scots takeaway has gone viral after they posted a picture of a breakfast classic - with a twist.

Rolls at Roys, located in Airdrie, advertised their new addition - but little did they know that they'd end up going viral and leaving people divided over their creation.

Showing off the tattie scone, which is served sprinkled with salt and served with thinly sliced peppers and chillies, they said: "Oh my god, my son is in heaven, salt and chilli tattie Scones."

The restaurant described it as “another level of creation” in the comments on their post.

But then someone said "Jesus they look epic mate. Salt and chilli hash browns next ?"

To which they replied: "like these?"

The family run business replied to their post and said: "Have to say we have created another level of innovation with the TATTIE scone"

"It’s a Scottish #scrantastic opportunity that extends to awbudy But, don’t knock it till ye try it. Let me hear where you are in the country or what your taste buds are saying to tasty tattie scones - oz comment."

Co-owner Carol Roy told The Scottish Sun: “We are all having a real giggle about this. I can’t believe the reaction in a couple of days.

“We are a small local brand new breakfast, brunch and lunch business that only opened four months ago and it looks like we’ve created the next 'pineapple on pizza' debate.

“We have a young team of great personalities in our shop and we had a wee bit too many tattie scones after a quiet week.

“So we created a twist on satisfying the breakfast and brunch market which is often forgotten in the takeaway industry, tasty and fresh.

“I asked the chef to put our salt and chilli veg mix and seasoning on them, serve them like majestic pyramids and have some fun.

“I asked my 11-year-old son what he thought and he was the official taster. The picture posted was my wee boy in his onesie having had the delivery of the #tastytattiescone.

“We have had such fun reading the posts and the comments go from 'game changer - different level' to 'where can I get these? I need this in my belly'.

“The reach is now as far as someone from New Zealand chatting with us. We’re delighted as we opened during tough times but I know I have a dream team of innovation and some right good scran for £3.”

Even Clyde 1 jumped in on the debate with host Garry Spence saying: "I can't decide if I want to try it or not - I'm thinking no for me. So salt and chilli scones - yes or no? And for your breakfast by the way!

"You get a big portion - there's five tattie scones and they've obviously used salt and chilli seasoning on it and some chillies with peppers. It looks the part but I'm thinking 'for your breakfast, really?'.

"You know what I'm actually scared of? If I tried this I would like it and it would add to my already salt and chilli addiction problem. I bought a big tub a week ago, it's ready nearly finished."

Would you try it? Let us know.
