Aibu or are fishfinger sarnies a classic Xmas day breakfast??

[Lowhangingfruit]

Weren't allowed to call them butties. Anyone else?

@ViciousJackdaw

You weren't allowed to call them butties? That is what they are! It's true, in the North, a slice of bread and butter was known as a 'butty'.

Anyway, you don't need the collective approval of MN - eat whatever the hell you want at Christmas and I hope you enjoy it.

I’m from ‘the North’ and have never called a slice of bread and butter a butty.

The only thing I refer to as a butty is a chip butty and that comes in a bread bun or a stottie, not a slice of bread. Everything else is a sandwich or sarnie including a fish finger sarnie.

Wouldn’t eat a fish finger sarnie on Christmas Day though, bacon sandwich all the way.

Jesus, no.

Nope, never heard of fish fingers for Christmas breakfast.
We have things like toasted brioche, pain aux raisins, or croissants with a glass of fizz.

Bacon sarnie here, love a fish finger sarnie any other time tho...

Yabvu.

Waves at the Daily Mail.

Ha ha I'm not a reporter!

Well I'm glad you agree, this as a reverse. As personally couldn't think of anything more rank. But the in-laws have strict ideas and might be coming over Xmas day.....

Tell them to eat before they arrive at yours.

They aren't but they should be
Smoked salmon bagels here.

honestly the first reverse that has made me laugh (well the internet version where I smile vaguely at my phone and laugh internally).

Your in laws are clearly insane , I say this as someone who subsisted at university primarily on fish finger sandwiches and consider them a staple of comfort food. Christmad breakfast though? Good God no.

Even in my house we have standards , I mean they are really really low , but still they are there.

Scrambled egg with smoked salmon and/or crispy bacon and/or sausage. Fish finger would be a step too far but its definitely a classic. Not the chocolate urgh. No.

YABU. But have to say that baked beans on toast may become a Christmas Eve dinner classic in our house, certainly when I'm doing the dinner the next day and have been making sauces, dessert, stuffing and vegetarian main all day. It went down so well with everyone before the onslaught of all the rich food.

Uhm nope. Not here and never heard of anyone doing that.

Smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and Buck's Fizz in our house (and for both me and DH growing up)

Ugh just seen it's a reverse.

People who come to my house to be (generously) hosted by us follow our traditions.

Don't really have a special breakfast on Christmas Day, I mean we have croissants, bagel with smoked salmon, egg etc if you want to but that's just weekend breakfast and not a once a year thing, and we are more focused on opening presents. Want to have room to enjoy the dinner later as well. If I'm cooking I don't want a drink until things are well on their way either.

Tell them you’ll be following your traditions in your home.
Such a rubbish tradition. Who’d want to continue that one?

We don’t have a traditional Xmas breakfast. Usually because we are bleary eyed having being woken up in the early hours by two very excited dcs 😂

Now that I've seen it's a reverse I think you should all have them because reverses are annoying.

Bacon butties or pastries here.

Fish finger sandwiches?

I thought smoked salmon and scrambled egg was the tradition? Never heard of having a fish finger butty. DS would enjoy it though. I’m not keen on fish fingers or salmon so just end up with scrambled egg.

Bacon butties for the kids.
Pain au chocolate straight out of the oven with bucks fizz for me.

In Australia, oyster shoots + champagne +King's College carols/"It's A Wonderful Life".

Full disclosure: our Aussie Christmas dinner is oysters, prawns and potato salad, sorbet or Christmas pudding trifle, so no full roast/ trying to get it all on the table at the same time panic meal requirements.

Well the in laws can have that then, doesn’t mean you have to. You can’t force ‘traditions’ on other people. Anyway fish finger sandwiches are lunch, not breakfast.

Never heard of anyone eating fish finger sandwiches for breakfast at any point anywhere! But each to her own - if that’s what your in-laws fancy, fair enough. (Definitely odd to elevate it to the status of the turkey, though...🤣)
