Perusing that dumb thread suggests that to New Yorkers "buttered roll" doesn't mean what it does to everyone else.

It means the /kind/ of buttered roll that you (supposedly) only find in New York. What's the difference?

Apparently in NY they slice the roll like a bagel, butter it, wrap it up as a single-serve package, and sell it in bodegas as breakfast.

So it's a shorthand not for the materials, but of the entire cultural experience of packaging, distribution, and consumption ritual.

Like if Taco Bell was only in NY, and NY had no other tacos, and they said "No one else has tacos" we'd be like wtf

If New Yorkers want to get all excited about slicing a roll and having it for breakfast on the subway then okay, power to ya, idjits.

Goes to show that NYers (and so many others) are desperate to establish cultural markers that demonstrate they are different from the plebs.

"We slice rolls for breakfast. It's a NY thing! You wouldn't understand."
