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 😉

Whatabout curry, noodle soup or salmon with seaweed rice? I am a big savoury breakfast person. Would do egg and sourdough but prefer a “meal”. And not so keen on evening meals. Would rather have wine and substantial meal at lunchtime. Not so easy when working from home. Good on holiday.

Gin?

That makes you lush. Or a lush. Or a legend.

I had a mcdonald's mcmuffin today 😋

PrinnyPree · 29/07/2022 22:22

Mon-Friday shreddies, rice crispies and raisins with full fat milk (and my toddler's peanut butter toast crusts 😅) weekend cinnamon bagel, with peanut butter and jam. Also a strong milky cuppa tea with a sugar.

If we have guests I'll always do a full English on a Sunday (with orange packet warburton white)

My current favourite is a bagel with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs 😋 Where do I fit in? Normally have toast with poached egg and avocado.

Basic bitch I believe it's called.

I’m aristocracy 😂

NortieTortie · 29/07/2022 22:25

What about my kids' toast crusts, hastily scarfed down as we race out the door with one shoe on?

ivykaty44 · 29/07/2022 22:25

Even a lush doesn’t touch gin 😂

What is chic spread? And what class is seeded wholemeal toast with single country honey?

Rupertgrintismyguiltypleasure · 29/07/2022 22:26

I don’t eat breakfast everyday... if I do it swings from a cheeky kinder bueno to a bacon sarnie... I’m in a class of my own 😋

My left over dominos pizza- warmed up, what does that make me?

CherrySocks · 29/07/2022 22:29

This thread has made me hungry.

What is chic spread though?

KentuckyDerbyandJoan · 29/07/2022 22:29

How can white sliced toast possibly be W/C if the spread is ‘chic’ ? Sounds vaire M/C to me.

Moonchair1 · 29/07/2022 22:30

Cup of tea and a spliff :) poor class here 😂

Stripedbag101 · 29/07/2022 22:30

Don’t be so bloody ridiculous!

Class is becoming increasingly meaningless.

rhe people who cling to it are people who feel inadequate so need to persuade everyone they middle class, despite their lifestyle and bank account being a personal disappointment.

leave this nonsense I the past and just live your life

I always have a sandwich. Usually slices of homemade gammon and lettuce.

what am I?!

@SocksAndTheCity

The best breakfast, shortly followed by leftover biryani

Cold curry for the win!

thatsnotmynamec · 29/07/2022 22:32

I have whole grain oats with berries, nuts seeds and honey in oat milk, a camomile tea and a decaf coffee with two sweeteners.

What class am I??

Mammyloveswine · 29/07/2022 22:34

I don't eat breakfast but if I do I like avocado on toast topped with a poached egg seasoned with chilli flakes...

Secretly I love white toast and butter but rarely have it..

Palamon · 29/07/2022 22:35

I never eat breakfast.

My son home from uni made himself avocado on sourdough today with a poached egg. Pretty sure that’s a MC cliché.
