At a farm café... naturally. And daughter is on special diet, so she was eating her packed lunch. And she went to eat her apple ...I found my self saying "oh darling, let me wash your apple, it's got brioche crumbs all over it"

What a dick I am 🤣

I'm sorry OP but it does come across this way, especially that you've taken the time to post this online rather than it just being a quick remark in conversation with someone.

It's a bit like when people say something like - ''Last week I decided to go on holiday to Turkey via a last minute deal. I'm just SO CRAZY I am!! SO out there!! 🙃🤗''

You caught me out, yes. I just wanted a bunch of internet strangers to marvel in wonder that I decrumbed an apple. It's all so obvious looking back.

It’s easier as an adult to laugh things off, it’s very distancing of peers to “other” you via your food choices, and especially if it’s done in a chippy way. Kids are often finding food difficult to like, so having a food they actually like sneered at isn’t a happy place for a kid. My daughter was tiny and very food fussy and her actually liking something was a surprise. Her form teacher sneered at her tea. But didn’t sneer at Viscount biscuits. I mean really, this is wrong headedness.

Kids can be mean over just about everything. I was bullied at school so I sympathise but that is not what this thread is about. It’s about laughing at yourself. I was mocked once when I was younger (teen) because someone couldn’t understand if I was saying brown bread or bran bread (sarf Londoner) even after several attempts.

Anyway I have found this thread amusing but I’m not surprised a lighthearted thread turned sour, there’s no such thing as lighthearted on MN world.

You mean you don't buy your apples pre-decrumbed? 😱

How many new words of at least 3 letters can you make from 'brioche'

They have to be middle class words.

heir, rich, robe, herb, crib, rice, hire, ochre, bore, hero, heroic, choir, hob

You know what I love mumsnet. It's clear we are from all walks of life. I'm glad there's places we can all mix. Weather we agree or not. I prefer this thread to tariff trump reality.

You decrumb your own apples? Have you fallen on hard time? Where are the staff? Dear Gawd

Ha ha. I hope there are no Northerners at the farm cafe, that would be a catastrophe 😂As a Northerner myself, I also must admit that I've no idea what brioche is, and neither does my whippet. 😂

As a very MC person (shop at Ocado, so surely that qualifies me 😂😂) I can assure you us MC southerners also have whippets (two to be exact) and as the whippet won crufts this year, I am also very on trend 😂😂😂😂

and OP, the apple gives you away, surely it would have been peeled and sliced to be truely MC 😂😂

I believe the latest fad amongst the proles is pre-packaged sushi. We've had to ask our teppanyaki chef to wrap the nigiri in plastic so the children don't feel ostracized.

I vomited on some poor children this week after seeing they'd purchased sushi as part of a meal deal. Is nothing sacred

I don’t see that at all and how is an apple with brioche crumbs a humble brag? The word brioche sounds quite posh doesn’t it even if you can get it in Lidl.

On nans and pears, I thought my nan was dead posh because she had Pears soap when I was little. Forget Waitrose and M&S, a single bar of Pears soap meant you were at the top of the class system.
