What did your parents say when you asked what’s for dinner?

[SeraphinaRainbird]

Inspired by the thread about words used in different areas of the UK,
what was the stock answer to ‘What’s for dinner?’ in your house?
In our house it was “Ham, jam and baa lamb”. In my friend’s house it was “Shite with sugar on top”.

Yup, this was what I was told too! 🤣

I was told bread and pull it.
If we went out for a drive on a Sunday, and I asked where we were going, it was always “there and back to see how far it is.” Anyone else had that? Love this thread, made me nostalgic.

Shit with sugar! I use it now and so do my adult kids

@Idontcareboutthestateofmyhair Scottish? Like others I’d completely forgotten about it!

Shit with sugar on, or ‘bread and pull-it’ (which is supposed to be poulet, i’m told).

I tell my own son that we’re having balloons on toast.

Shim shams for ducks to perch on and wait and see pudding.

Yes, also “to see a man about a dog”.

Shit n sugar
Iffits ( if it's there you're having it , if it's not you're not )
Shit on a stick

Shit with sugar on!

Oh my goodness, yes we went to see a man about a dog too! Perhaps it was the same dog!

This has me howling. I’ll be using this tomorrow 😂

"Hairball pie"...
And if you ever said the bread was hard:
"It's harder when there's none"!

Whatever you are cooking.

Aye! Scottish! My mother was a brilliant home cook and we were greeting if she said whammel!

If It Pie. If it were in t’fridge, it went in t’pie!!

A surprise

Bread ‘n’ pullit

My dad always replied ‘Bread ‘n’ catch it!’ Never sure what it meant, as a child, but we knew he was joking.

Literally this.

Shit with sugar on. I suppose it was the only swear word I ever heard her say.

Does anyone remember if you asked where someone was the answer was

Minnies room behind the clock

I liked Bobs your uncle and Fanny’s your Aunt for stuff that was easily done.

Shit with sugar on.

"Wait and see"

Shit and sugar or bread and pull it.

Sometimes we'd get "If it's" as in if its on the table, you'll eat it!

Wait and See
