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

Did you make it in your woodfired pizza oven? Was it Neopolitan style crust? How long did you ferment it for?

No idea but oh white toast lathered with butter is my guilty pleasure when in hospital.

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.

Nah, that’s a millennial cliché

I’m sure I read somewhere years ago that the Queen Mother used to wake up at 10 each morning and have gin for breakfast…

MissMarpleRocks · 30/07/2022 04:55

I rarely eat breakfast but if I do it’s marmite on toast or poached eggs & smoked salmon. If staying in a hotel then kippers or kedgeree. Delusions of grandeur clearly.

What about Jaffa cakes

Do I get an extra class point if my bread is made overnight in the Panasonic?

gracious no! If you know how the servants are making the bread it’s rather distressing for you

Tea with double chocolate chip cookies dipped in.

I’ll join you in full wanker mode - homemade muesli with organic milk delivered by the dairy up the road, with fruit from my allotment 😁

That was meant to be quoting @BryceQuinlanTheFirst 🫤

I had no idea that’s what wankers are for breakfast 😂 learn something new everyday

After reading all this, I'm starving and considering getting up early for some breakfast.
This starts with a pot of tea. Two spoonfuls of English Breakfast or Yorkshire, one spoonful of Earl Grey. And a fizzy vitamin drink to down the morning array of pills.
Breakfast ranges from smoothies in summer to porridge in winter.
Left over takeaway curry or Eggs Benedict are my absolute favourites.
But since retirement, breakfast has moved more towards brunch…

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.

Waitrose millennial ;-)

Might have a Macdonald's breakfast after my night shift.

What class is a cig and an instant coffee?

♥️

honkeytonkwoman38 · 30/07/2022 07:04

I make bircher muesli. What am I?

I have a Kitkat most days. At weekends I either have bran flakes or a bit of trout with toast and a poached egg [confused}

KitKats are the work of the Angels.
You can eat them totally guilt free.

upper class is grilled kidneys and scrambled eggs or kedgeree served from covered silver dishes that the under butler has laid out on the Sheraton side table.

Does no one remember Downton ?

Champagne and kippers

CockingASnook · 30/07/2022 07:21

Homemade muesli from a Tupperware with organic milk and, at the moment, some raspberries from the garden. At weekends I might have some homemade marmalade on homemade toast. That probably makes me a wanker too.

Oh dear.
How frightfully non u to be discussing class.
And at breakfast too.
