Vienetta

Growing up melba toast. No idea why, we ate bread everyday 🤔 Definitely Vienetta and Artic Roll was also up there too.
I met a woman a few years ago who thought that chicken goujons were posh 😁

Broccoli.
Roast chicken for Sunday lunch.

Heating. And a telly that worked without a coin slot.

Having a dishwasher. I was convinced it was a marker of poshness until I was in my mid teens Blush

cloth napkins.

When I was a teenager, croissants. No one I knew ate croissants except an extremely posh school friend who had a French Dad. (I still subconsciously think of them as a bit posh.) (Which they so totally aren't).

@meow1989 Well, Edam Spitfires probably aren't , but I'd agree about Gouda jump jets.

Frodont · 03/02/2021 18:02

Having a horse (she says through gritted teeth, covered in mud, fingernails like she's been dug up, broke, pissed off).

Melon boats

Having three bathrooms IS quite posh though? Sounds luxurious to me!

For me it’s Jamaica ginger cake. We used to have it for special occasions, didn’t realise you could buy it in the supermarket for a pound until I got to uni!

@Cerealkillers

Smoked salmon
Smoked salmon is posh! Do an aibu poll. I'm very confident.

My friend from a school had a TV in her kitchen. I thought they were extremely posh

Ensuites
Wooden floors

My son once asked for the 'posh potatoes' for his birthday dinner. We finally worked out he was talking about potato croquettes 😂 We still ask him every birthday if he wants 'posh potatoes'

EmergencyHydrangea · 03/02/2021 18:06

Having three bathrooms is pretty bloody posh

Gravel on the drive.

When I was about 10 I was invited to my
Mums boss’s house as they had a daughter the same age as me.
They weren’t posh ( Yorkshire farming stock) but they were very rich. When we had lunch the Dad cut the joint with an electric carving knife
I remember thinking - one day ...............
It must have stayed with me because the first time I went to the inlaws fil got his electric carving knife out and I realised that they were quite common
I haven’t got one now, I would be terrified of it
