Picky bits?

[HelenInHeels]

I hate this! I saw it on a M&S advert and it gave me the willies. I don't know why it sounds gross but it puts me off food as does 'dirty' fries. Yeuch!

@StockbridgeovertheRiverKwai Sounds perfect and high tea a fine addition to canonical terms. It’s basically Mole and Rat’s picnic, isn’t it:

‘What’s inside it?’ asked the Mole, wriggling with curiosity. ‘There’s cold chicken inside it,’ replied the Rat briefly; ‘cold tongue, cold ham, cold beef, pickled gherkins, salad, french rolls, cress sandwiches, potted meat, ginger beer, lemonade, soda water—’

Mole says ‘Stop, stop!’ in ecstasy before Rat can mention half a tube of salt and vinegar Pringles, leftover potatoes, and a bowl of baba ganoush that has to be eaten or thrown, any takers?

Nothing not to like about this, @Itsaswelltime

I was in M&S today and saw the picky bits fridge end sign but was on an escalator so couldn't get my phone ready in time to take a photo.

But it was something like this: <runs>

Yes "picnic". Not PBT

None I pick none those are all desperado train snacks

And stuffed vine leaves.

I think High Tea is more formal you sit at table and there are sandwiches and cakes and pots of tea. Picky bits are more portable and washed down with copious glasses of wine.

Can't say picky tea as sometimes it's eaten at lunch time.

@Iwantmyoldnameback Ah, so are talking the bastard offspring of fridge clearance and a TV dinner?

Not TV dinner although warchingTV can be involved. I seem to have different names for everything don't I - but it's all very clear in my head.

Yes! This!

N.B. ‘Crust’ not ´crier’ !

Pâté also goes on, and charcuterie, but these are more DH’s territory than mine. He also has the cherry tomatoes (they give me reflux 😢 ).

I quite like - good - hummus, but DH is less fussed so we don’t buy it often.
