Are you rich, posh and clever?

[pointydog]

I think I heard it right. The Christmas Iceland ad where Karry Katona says something along the lines of 'I used to think you had to be rich, posh or clever to have a buffet'.

Ffs. The British attitude towards food verges on the pathetic at times. Rich, posh or clever to put some bits of food on plates. Aye right.

God, I do so love the Iceland adverts. They are pure genius

Urrrrgh, she sets my teeth on edge

How much did they have to pay her to basically announce to the nation that she was poor, chavvy and thick, then?

about a fiver, I should think

I saw her in one of those adverts the other day. I know she's pregnant and all but dear GOD what *does she look like??
she looked like a sofa at a party that someone had thrown all the coats onto.

Reminds me of a saying I heard in Glasgow recently - 'she looks like a burst couch'

harpsi FANTASTIC!!!

PMSL at the sofa with coats thrown on comment... can I have permission to use that comment??

Quote of the week!

I nominate Harpsi's sofa comment.

She's got a face like a well-skelpt erse, but as long as people keep giving her money and buying magazines w/her bulldog face in them, she'll be around.

does she also say "drug free and a responsible mother"?

Buffets are naffola imo - so rich, posh and clever are not the words I particularly associate with 'buffet'. Buffet makes me think of chavvy parties and family Christmas all crammed into the house on different sized chairs. Y'know, like Denise did for Nana's funeral!

Does this mean that Iceland have an Aspirational Buffet aisle (along the lines of the aspirational Toiletries aisle spotted in Waitrose)

buffets = cocktails sausages on a stick, cheese cubes on a stick, chicken drumsticks, mini sausage rolls, wotsits... tres chic!

imo a buffet means you couldn't be bothered to cook a proper meal!

Ahem

She has had a very harsh upbringing has Kerry, so ease off on being nasty.

Agree on Iceland though, what a pile of crap.

The slogan mum's gone to Iceland gets on my tits. It's like saying dads can't do the weekly food shopping.

my mum used to do fabulous buffets. None of this "bought in Iceland and reheated" cr*p - she baked it all from scratch - and looked (and tasted) fabulous.

I think it has been said before on previous threads - the Iceland table looks like an episode of You Are What You Eat when all the junk is laid out.

QoQ,
Buffets are big in the Southern US, and they're anything but naff or chavy.

Mmmmm. VERY good memories of some extraordinary buffets.

Oh yes, all of the above. And Beautiful Beyond Comprehension!

(Not everything in Iceland is complete shit by the way.. and it's very tempting to shop there when you have a family to feed and a small budget..)

Iceland had a harsh upbringing don't you know so ease up on the nasty comments!!

Ooh I do love agood buffet - but I am awffy common! Nothing better than a vol-au-vent and some curried rice!

oh and she used to spend way longer preparing things for a buffet than when she had one of her 'famous' (in our circles of friends and family ) 3 course meals -

I wish I had even half my mums talent in the kitchen

Exactly, ShinyHappyLongName, not everyone can go to Waitroise for a dip that cost £12.99 and is "to die for".
