Play suits shouldn't be worn over the age of 4

Dried banana chips should be banned. Hard, dry, tasteless teethbreakers. As should any dessert based on soggy sponge.

Fine dining is the culinary version of the Emperor’s New Clothes.

Gnawing away at an animal bone in public is revolting.

Bounties should contain raisins.

Ant and Dec …. Meh

Since this is a slightly more factual one: meals varied greatly between classes and regions, but unsurprisingly it's the upper classes we have the most evidence for. In the early nineteenth century (Regency, Jane Austen sort of time) lunch wasn't really around. People would eat a late breakfast and then dinner time varied between London and the country, with London keeping later hours (c.8pm vs c.5pm). Afternoon tea came in for people keeping London hours so that they'd have something between breakfast and dinner. Supper was something light before bed, especially for people who had kept country hours and had had an early dinner. The upper classes would thus have 2-3 meals a day. As far as we know, people working in manual jobs may well have had only one meal a day, which was generally eaten in the middle of the day and called dinner (dinner is the name for the main meal of the day, whatever your class, but class determined what time it was eaten). If they could afford to eat again, they would, either breakfast or supper, but many couldn't afford it.

Brunch is overpriced nonsense

Both bacon and fish n chips smell amazing…but only taste ok

Baby feet are not cute. Their hands are much nicer.

Wet dogs inner ears smell heavenly.

Birkenstocks, Crocs and Dr Martens all belong in the bin

I love this !! Am now going to cut a bounty bar in half and push raisins in to test the theory. Watch this space !!

Sweet truffles are unbaked cake dough. Nothing wrong with that but that's what they are.

I have no desire to ever eat a takeaway.

Trifle is disgusting. Soggy bottom and now often even the top bits are tasteless cream, custard and jelly. Appreciate the latter complaints may be less true of homemade ones.

Any tomatoes other than the vine-ripened (read: expensive) ones are useless and taste like dirty water.

'Dog friendly' needs to GTFO of here, or at least be hugely reduced. I say this as someone who has had many beloved doggy pals over the years.

Despite my username..pigs in blankets are the worst thing about Christmas dinner

😱😱😱 you take that back!

CalpolDependant · 04/05/2023 22:33

Lucy and Yak dungarees are shit. They always look misshapen and weird and they are unflattering on all stomachs. Even flat ones. And I’m sorry for saying this, because I feel like MN might be overflowing with L&Y wearers.

Coconut flour is not a foodstuff.

Unsmoked bacon is rank but smoked bacon is delicious. It smells sublime.

Same applies to coffee.

Mashed potato is not nice.
Very unpopular opinion I'm sure
