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 😉

I love this thread!

its either nothing, chocolate and crisps finally scoffed at break time at work, or an apple for me.

I have a toddler who has a mix of 4 different cereals with honey on.

What class are we?

I had cold leftover pizza this morning so what does that make me

ThinWomansBrain · 29/07/2022 22:38

why is MN so class obsessed?

jcyclops · 29/07/2022 22:39

Oooh, kedgeree - haven't had it for years. Must add some finnan haddie to my F&M order.

I rarely eat breakfast but if I have to I’ll go for yoghurt and granola.
My granola isn’t it Tupperware, it comes straight out of the box Blush

Bluevelvetsofa · 29/07/2022 22:42

What about a coffee from a bean to cup machine?

Occasionally, it’s yogurt with berries, nuts and a drizzle of honey. That must be aristocracy, surely?

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

Anyone who has a breakfast room is upper middle or upper class!!

goldfinchonthelawn · 29/07/2022 22:44

Hah. I have recently become aristocracy due to an infestation of moths. Had to chuck out all the cereal and put the new stuff in tupperware. Must tell our butler how lucky he is to be serving such grandeur.

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

how does this make you feel?

It makes me feel great not eating breakfast, as it’s the one thing that gets both my IBS and menopausal bloating under control for the day. I love my lack of gut after a hungry morning! You goady mofo 😂

PritiPatelsMaker · 29/07/2022 22:47

I seem to have gone from working class as a child to aristocracy! Get me Grin

ChezVous77 · 29/07/2022 22:48

What is chic spread?

SoMuchToBits · 29/07/2022 22:48

I have 3 cups of tea, but loose leaf tea made in a teapot with a hand knitted tea cosy. No idea what that says about me...

ChezVous77 · 29/07/2022 22:50

@SoMuchToBits Vintage loving Etsy shopper aspiring for simpler times

0blio · 29/07/2022 22:51

I thought the aristocracy had kedgeree and kippers?

I normally have bran flakes with prunes <piles, sigh>

ChezVous77 · 29/07/2022 22:52

@0blio constipated working class in her 50s

No, it's what kind of salt you put on the slug you find in the kitchen*
Rock salt in a grinder: middle class.
Asda own brand in a plastic bag: working class.
*sorry but I had to tell someone.

Tillsforthrills · 29/07/2022 22:54

Copious amounts of coffee with Moma oat barista milk until about 11am then Italian bread toasted with marmalade or avocado or sardines.

SoMuchToBits · 29/07/2022 22:54

@ChezVous77 or maybe just "old fashioned"! Wink

GettingReal · 29/07/2022 22:56

Utterly appalled that anyone would eat choc spread for breakfast... definitely lower middle!

Festoonlights · 29/07/2022 22:58

I’ll join the classless cloud of thankful equals thanks with no stomach for breakfast or a outdated class system! .
