Class is down to which breakfast you eat

Your status in life is down to which breakfast you eat, not what car you drive or how much you earn

but the type of food you eat for the first meal of the day

white sliced toast with chic spread is working class

sour dough and marmalade is middle class

upper class is soldier and dippy egg

aristocracy is cereal served from a Tupperware 😉

Espresso & cigarette= Posted too soon/drunk
Brown bread & vegan butter = middle-class hippy
Jugged kippers = proper foncy / lord of the manor type

Ooh I like this. Last week dd had white toast with chocolate spread one morning, and egg and soldier's the following morning. We are clearly migrating up the classes!

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 29/07/2022 22:06

So, dh has crumpets when he comes in from dog walk. And coffee.
I have cereals and coffee.
Dd has something poncy like avo on bagel, or croissant and Nutella (lived with French family for two years) Tea.
ds has an energy drink when he gets in from night shift. If hungry as much bacon as he can fit in the air fryer.
So what are we?

Lacdepassy · 29/07/2022 22:07

I'm definately aristocracy or too lazy to do the washing up

Antigonesaunt · 29/07/2022 22:07

What about a vape and an energy drink?

BaronessEllarawrosaurus · 29/07/2022 22:09

Well as the name suggests we come under upper/aristocracy. I do love a dippy egg with soldiers, the dc have cereal from tupperware.

MakkaPakkas · 29/07/2022 22:10

All the bacon = salt of the earth type
Energy drink= road man
Croissant & Nutella= aspirational metrosexual
Crumpets = delusional

Ylvamoon · 29/07/2022 22:10

There is a clear divide in my family!
The DC are clearly Aristocrats while the parents are working (DH) and middle class (myself)

The shocking thing is , we are living a life in servitude for to children. 🤣

Freshly baked bread with butter and home made gooseberry jam, and freshly ground coffee with goats milk?

MakkaPakkas · 29/07/2022 22:15

Pret a manger from deliveroo = nouveau riche

What class is a cig and an instant coffee?

Underclass 😂 Don't worry, I'm there as well, McDonald's for breakfast this morning 😂

MadMadMadamMim · 29/07/2022 21:50

Goodness. I don't eat breakfast. Does that make me 'classless'?

BarrelOfOtters2 · 29/07/2022 21:57

You are French

Nah, they'd make proper coffee, and it would be 5 fags

Then I hop from 'scum' to 'posher than the queen' on a daily basis...

Today - breakfast bar thing = probably scum
Tomorrow - could be mcdonalds = definitely scum
Day after - definitely tupperware cereal, served in the bone china dish ive had since I was 2 - posher than the queen
Day after that - who knows that might as well be next year. Probably go to work on an egg saddles up the egg, takes it for a quick canter around the breakfast room

Dreikanter · 29/07/2022 22:19

I don’t do breakfast.

Do I just transcend the class system?

bollygu · 29/07/2022 22:19

@user143677433 living the 'Good life' are we?? 😂😂 how early do you get up to milk the goats????? Actually talked about Gooseberries to my colleague and a customer the other day, we were naming all the berries we could think of, and I remembered a long life gooseberry yoghurt I used to eat as a kid, not for brekkie though, so I wasn't posh 😂😂

LadyAnglerfish · 29/07/2022 22:20

ivykaty44 · 29/07/2022 22:20
