A fritter roll (the 'Joe special' in most Glasgow shops) is a Scottish delicacy which can be found in many fish and chip shops ('chippy' in Scottish dialect).
The fritter roll consists of one or two potato fritters enclosed in a floury bap (bread roll) and is usually served with salt and vinegar, sometimes with tomato ketchup or brown sauce on top of the fritter.
The potato fritter is fried very crisp, often with the inclusion of beef drippings on the fritter prior to dropping it in the frier. This is a very inexpensive food, often costing approximately £1 per roll.

Famous quotes containing the word roll:
“As I define it, rock & roll is dead. The attitude isn’t dead, but the music is no longer vital. It doesn’t have the same meaning. The attitude, though, is still very much alive—and it still informs other kinds of music.”
—David Byrne (b. 1952)
