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?

North West Lancs here and it's always been roast beef, the other variations do make me chuckle though. Grin

My nan used to sing roast beef and jam!

The original was roast beef, perhaps it's been hijacked by vegans? Wikipedia says it, so that's final. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Little_Piggy

It was always Jam and Bread when I was a kid, but then I come from a long line of paupers

Was always roast beef when we were younger and that’s what I said with my kids.

I’m Irish. It’s “roast beef and butter.” “Bread and butter” doesn’t scan.

IRememberSoIDo · 12/11/2018 18:50

Nope I'm in Ireland and it's always been roast beef for me!

sunshinemode · 12/11/2018 18:57

Bread and jam but I'm Irish

Well of course it's roast beef. But if you had asked DS1 when he was about 5 and did little piggy to newborn DS2, he would have told you that 'this little piggy had gross meat'.

wherestheweightlosspill · 12/11/2018 19:26

Also Irish, also def roast beef!

OJZJ · 12/11/2018 19:26

Jam and bread in our house..... northern ....

Loyaultemelie · 12/11/2018 19:31

Bread and cheese, sorry to add more confusion (also Northern Ireland)

Market not shoppingShockand I'm a farmer Blush(albeit a vegetable farmer but still)

It was a “sugar butty” in my family. Probably because it was common to dip your bread in sugar because there was nothing else to have with it in generations past. I’m from NW England.

Magpiefeather · 12/11/2018 19:45

Jam and bread (Yorkshire)

Although my DH says roast beef (also Yorkshire).

I'm married 20 years and this is a long standing dispute in our house. Naturally, it's roast beef as i have taught our children. I thought it was just him us so glad to know we are not alone!

How boring! I say something different every time. Keeps it exciting.

This morning on the left was Chicken Korma with naan bread and the right had steak pie with carrots and mash.

BabySharkDooDooDooDoo · 12/11/2018 19:54

Always has and always will be roast beef

bumblebee39 · 12/11/2018 19:55

Roast beef

Nut roast for the veggies

Snipples · 12/11/2018 20:11

Roast beef - from NI. Never heard the bread and butter version.

And I've totally only clicked about the market thing. I always imagined him trotting off shopping. How sad.

Purplealienpuke · 12/11/2018 20:28

Definitely roast beef (home counties but now living in Scotland).
A pig once tried chewing my toe... bloody sharp teeth!!!!

IceBearRocks · 12/11/2018 20:34

IceBearRocks · 12/11/2018 20:38
