Answer 9

Ah I was taught this by an ettiquette coach after complaining that in a hotel I stayed in my bread roll was too tough to cut.

Apparently you're supposed to tear small pieces off, you can usually do that from the middle where the roll is softer or has a fold. Then you're supposed to butter each small piece as you eat it.

Answer 10

The roll should firstly be broken in half with your fingers(never cut with a knife). Butter should be placed on the side of your plate and you should then break off a small piece of the roll, add butter from your plate, and pop it into your mouth.

That's not only for a formal dinner, of course, it's the polite way to eat a bread roll where-ever you are, including at home.
