Neither? It was a very small bun. Sorry if the humour was "squash'd" in translation. The 10g Scottish butter 'pat' is larger than most and a standardized sizing is akin to a 'cup' of coffee; 6oz - 24oz.
Good tip on melting the butter into the rice. If only the rice was warm enough to melt it. Not really a need to add more salt to an already bland dish laden with it. 😉
Definitely a poor presentation and a lack of flavour with a 'seasoned' salty aftertaste but at least there was a cloth serviette and since prepaid, no cheque with the recommended tip amount. 😀
