In our house it is the LAW to say

[lovablequalities]

"Basil!" in a screech à la Sybil

"Brown sugar!" In the style of Mick Jagger.

"Mangetout, Rodney, mangetout!" à la Only Fools.

OR

"What the hell is Mang-e-tout?!" À la the (American) boyfriend of a pal of mine who had never heard of it.

"Aubergine!" In a horrified tone in memory of DD2 when offered some.

What foodie (or otherwise) catchphrases do you have?

We do the Basil one too. And, “What the fuck’s a crud ite?”, which we overheard a man say at an evening event

Yeggs for eggs down to DS2.

“All of thems” also DS2.

Cinnamen rather than cinema-DS1.

I’m sure there’s loads more

We sing “come and get your black bin bags, they’re for any gender…” when putting the bins out.

Loads of "PIVOT" here and "to me to you" which we (obviously) do but I also do "Right Said Fred 'Ave a Cuppa Tea..." whenever we move anything.

“Have you tried that Maannge Toot”? Ex MIL, circa late 1980’s

Yes, 'Basil!' in a Sibyl style is also a household thing here

The word courgette is sung to the tune of 'Roxanne' by the Police, although I also sometime sing 'Little green courgette'

When grating cheese occasionally you have to sing 'I want to grate cheese' to the tune of 'I want to break free'

Oh and showing my age very much here but when faced with any white clothing my brain automatically goes "the WHITE one?" From the Daz advert in the 80s

Ah yeah and "Mmm noodle soup" no matter what the soup is made of.... like Joey from Friends

@Echobelly

I am SO doing the cheese thing from now on!

If someone says “keys” the other person has to say “no…not the cheeese, they keys”

We also say rub a dub dub, everyone at the table says “thanks for the grub”

We have lots if I’m honest, this home is full of them…we’re all mad here!!

When's dinner?

"Five minutes Turkish"

Five minutes later...

"Ten minutes Turkish"

(with thanks to cast and crew of Snatch).

"Gillians drinking piiiiinot noooooir" whenever we drink red wine.In the style of Micky Flanagan from his Out Out stand up tour

Cafe Nero is Cafe Nerd

When you want a cup of tea you have to shout out ‘make me cuppatea’ in the manner of the husband on The Family, a fly on the wall documentary from 12 years ago!

‘Where’s the salad Dor’ from Gavin and Stacey.

and crimble crumble when eating fruit crumble (Friday Night Dinner)

I’ve seen the future!

Kaths & Kims, 'Im so there Jackeoo' when a plan is made.
And yes defo crimble crumle and shit on it!

“scorchio “when they open the plane door and the warm air hits you when you land on holiday . Every time ( from the fast show and the lovely late Caroline Aherne )

DONT PANIC MR MANWARRING!

Basiiiil

I’ll have a tea please Bob

Wafer thin mint

He’s a very friendly lion called Parsley

Not food related but I’ve got the keys must be followed by I’ve got the secret

"Have you got the big bag?
Actually I've got 72."

From the PG Tips chimps

Mangetout are manky touts and hors d'oeuvres are horses doofers.

He wont sell much ice cream going at that speed!

@scully29

Oh our soups are always accompanied with 'Super!' which i think is Red Dwarf but its so old now Im no longer sure???

It is! When lister finds out that Rimmer's last words were about gazpacho soup and forces him to tell Lister why - then lister promises to never mention it again ansld says super instead. One of my favourites!

"Oh Doris, where's the salad" whenever we put the salad bowl out......... from Gavin and Stacey.

And lots of "shit on it" from Friday Night Dinner. Along with "crimble crumble" whenever we have crumble for pudding.
