Breakfast rolls are like posh **** to farmers, pointlessness wrapped up.

I live 'bout 20 minutes away from Kiltimagh ..do you have a story behind how the word came about?

Bear in mind this is from Wikipedia:

The term is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as "One who lives in, or comes from, a rural area; a (simple) countryman (or woman), a provincial, a rustic", a word derived from the remote town of Coillte Mach, County Mayo.[2] Another possible derivation is from the Irish coillte meaning "the wood/forest",[citation needed] to describe people who lived in the woods. A further, simpler, explanation is that the word derives from the word agriCULTURE, highlighting the industrial/agricultural divide between rural and urban populations.[citation needed]
Another potential derivation is an old Gaelic term "cúl na tí",[citation needed] meaning the back of the house. It was, and still is to a certain extent, common practice in rural areas to enter a neighbour's house through the back door, rather than the front (which is for more formal visits). Thus the term cúl na tí or culchie was applied to these people. Also, many city dwellers from Dublin tenements had to work as servants. The servants were not permitted to enter the house from the front but had to use the back door or servants entrance. It became common practice in Dublin to use the term in a derogatory manner. Over time as the numbers of servants dwindled away the term was still kept in everyday use to this very day.

had to use the back door

As a Culchie i can definetly agree sure amn't i a back door man myself.

Are breakfast rolls culchie? Most farmers I know have a big bowl of weetabix or a mountain of brown bread in the morning, I think breakfast rolls are a bit fancy, plus you'd need to be near a deli for one.

But yeah, Killinascully is loosely based on those two places- although from what I hear, Killoscully is a bit of a mad place itself!

I suppose they're not really that culchie actually, are they? Not exclusively anyway. I suppose I was led astray by the delightful Pat Shortt and his song.
I should stop seeing him as an Ambassador for Rural Affairs.

Prosperous. Especially in the local thick Kildare accent/drawl so it becomes Prawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwsprus. Plus it's a dump, the most ill-fitting name you could imagine.
