To think this is a perfectly fine meal?

[QuestionableMouse]

My main meal of the day. I've had a cheese scone so far all day. Aunt just wandered past and made a comment on what I'm eating. Apparently it's greedy.

She's now sulking in the living room with my parents because I told her it wasn't greedy.

It's about 50g turkey, 50g cheese, five or six slices of beetroot and a tablespoon of pickle. Bread is about half an inch per slice.

Its all delicious and I'm really enjoying it too.

That's a snack!

I don’t know why people have to comment on what others eat.

It doesn’t look a great deal of food to me 😃 it’s certainly not a greedy portion.

This is mumsnet however so someone will be along to say that couldn’t eat it all and to them that is 2 days meals.

That's more a snack to me than a main meal. What's it got to do with your Aunt what you eat anyway?

YABU to eat beetroot, it's revolting stuff!

It doesn’t look like a proper meal to me but around Christmas everything goes to pot a bit. It’s a deconstructed sandwich.

It was not for your aunt to comment though.

Why the fuck is it anyone's business? Looks lovely - hope you enjoyed.

Leave your aunt to sulk - the audacity of insulting someone and then getting annoyed when they defend themselves. There are some proper cunts out there.

How is it weird? It looks just like a bit of a Ploughmans lunch to me with ham ! can't find anything weird about it especially at Christmas time ! And the portion size looks fine.

Sorry meant to say with Turkey !

Looks fine to me.
I haven't had a 'proper' meal since Boxing Day. Since then, I've been grazing on cheeses, crackers, mince pies, cheese straws, xmas cake, dates and various chocolates.

I love the food at this time of year!

Your aunt was BU to pass comment on your food choices and label you “greedy”.

Thanks.

What's weird about it? (genuine question, not being a bitch) It's not the sort of thing I eat very often but when I do, I always really enjoy it.

It's just the contents of a sandwich filling a plate, nothing noteworthy about it.

Maybe she thought you were being greedy because she thought you were having that as a snack? It looks very "snacky" to me.

I'm now hungry.

That’s the sort of thing everyone eats over Christmas.

How old is she? I am increasingly noticing women in their 60s/70s who seem obsessed with what others eat and take pride in trying to make everyone think they eat like a bird

There was supposed to be ham too but the bastard cat stole it while I was slicing the bread.

Exactly Kingfu. It's a deconstructed sandwich. You'd pay £££ for that at Heston's gaff.

She's 67 and tiny.

What's weird is taking a photo of it and posting it on social media

Who cares about your aunt's throwaway comment?

She was rude.

That is the sort of thing I would have for a light lunch. Except for he beetroot - revolting stuff.

Looks good to me

Leave your Aunt to her sulking, she is very rude to comment on your meal

Your Aunt is a rude cow and needs to wind her neck in. End of.
