I just peaked at middle class wankerism

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 🤣

what's middle class ?

the apple?
lunchbox?
special diet?
brioche?
farm cafe?

You've got me stumped.

Just the OPs fantasy? probably been manifesting a life of farm cafes and brioche darlings for decades

It’s still a type of bread, I agree it’s not a very nice type of bread! 😁. I’m off to have avocado on sourdough for a late lunch, aka avocado on toast 😁

Avo on toast

Hush, the angry ones on the thread will be after you!

Iwanttoshopnow · 05/04/2025 14:38

I thought the middle class reference was the crumbs from the brioche as her child has an intolerance to wheat or gluten.

Hardly a class issue.

Oh god the thought. Working class folk eat brioche as well as sour dough. Hell, they might even actually make it.

Surely the proles aren't eating such delicacies? Next you'll be informing me thay they're scarfing avos??? 😱😱😱😱😱😱

This made me laugh so much. It's such a MN parody to be this determined to find fault! 😂

As you're here, can you explain WHAT was middle class?

It's puzzling me.

Do you remember the halcyon days when people in MN could just take the piss out of themselves, have a smile and move on...? It was when it was all fields round here..

Haha! I know what you mean. My friend accidentally scratched her babies nose getting an organic pineapple into a shopping bag as the baby was in a forwards facing sling. Middle class injury. Hahaha.

Only chavs use forward facing slings.

Everyone knows that.

Brioche crumbs are a problem if you are gluten free or coeliac…

This 👆Cross contamination is a massive problem!

Mumsnet is so unhinged these days, these replies.

can someone complain about her wasting the crumbs and I will have a full bingo card?

Those crumbs would have been a perfect feast for my lunch. Would have filled me up for hours!

Exactly so why would you put an apple covered in crumbs in your daughter's lunch box?

When in a hole, stop digging..

Instead of blaming others, maybe explain what your post actually meant.

Nothing you said is remotely middle class 'wankerism'.

You said you were in a farm shop having a snack, your child had an apple and you wanted to brush the crumbs off it for her. (I assume she's got a food intolerance.)

Brioche, Greggs pasty, artisan sourdough, who cares?

I'm afraid all your post does is show you aren't middle class as you feel the need to boast about eating something perfectly ordinary in an ordinary setting.

This is so true. Chavs chuckle to themselves about what dicks they are on this. Probably.

Fuck me we are at the bottom of the barrel if eating a brioche is worth a humble brag
You can get them for a quid at lidl, ffs, it's hardly caviar and foie gras

So the apple was on the table and you sprayed crumbs all over it and thought wiping it would be sufficient?

Same to you with brioche crumbs on it 😂

Or maybe even go and eat cake?
