My Sister was sitting on the sofa this morning with DS2 who had bare feet. She then started to do 'this little piggy' on his toes. All was as it should be until DH exclaimed at the end ' it's bread and butter!' in reference to the third toe. Sister looked at him as if he was mad. Who is right?

Bread and butter.

LuggsaysNotaWomen · 11/11/2018 14:45

Roast beef without a doubt.

Vegetarian lasagna in our family!

TwllBach · 11/11/2018 14:45

(it's definitely roast beef!)

Watto1 · 11/11/2018 14:45

It's roast beef of course! Never heard bread and butter in that rhyme.

EdithBouvier · 11/11/2018 14:45

My mum says bread and butter. My mother in law says roast beef. My mum is Irish if that makes any difference? Wonder if you're DH is too?

theymademejoin · 11/11/2018 14:45

Is dh Irish?

It is roast beef. But I changed it to "ice cream" for DS as we are veggie and ice-cream is something he would recognise.

Heresy I know.

BertrandRussell · 11/11/2018 14:46

But roast beef everywhere else.

HolgerLowCarbingLoser · 11/11/2018 14:46

Roast beef.

theymademejoin · 11/11/2018 14:47

@EdithBouvier - it's always bread and butter in Ireland. We couldn't afford roast beef 😁

Littlelambpeep · 11/11/2018 14:48

Agree in Ireland they say bread and butter

TheFaerieQueene · 11/11/2018 14:48

It’s roast beef. That said, pigs eating beef is really not a pleasant thought, or the piggy that went to market 😢

MamaLovesMango · 11/11/2018 14:49

It’s roast beef but o went to a babybgroup once where they said it was HAM

Shock

It's definitely roast beef, but I suppose it IS weird thinking of a pig eating a cow. Mind you, a pig ate my car once.

papayya · 11/11/2018 14:50

My nana says bread and jam, as apparently they couldn't afford to eat roast beef when she was little!

Namelessinseattle · 11/11/2018 14:50

Bread and jam...... just to through it into the mix. But we’ve all sweet tooth’s in my family

cucumbergin · 11/11/2018 14:50

"a pig ate my car once"

What?!

Namelessinseattle · 11/11/2018 14:51

*throw it into the mix

Sassypants82 · 11/11/2018 14:52

Bread & Butter 😋

NannyR · 11/11/2018 14:52

It's always been jam and bread in our family, my grandparents used to sing it like that forty odd years ago when I was a baby.
