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.

I love buffets...so absolutely NOT rich, posh & clever then !!!!!

Uh-oh, I knew I'd be in trouble for that

my rich sil has them, but she calls them "cold spreads"

dh and I reckon that the buffet in the Iceland advert looks like the bit in You are what you eat when Gillian McHagface puts all the pies and shite that the victim eats in a week on a table, all grey and horrid

Buffets are disgusting IMO

pmsl at 'cold spreads'!!!!

In the southern US they can be referred to as a spread. As in, 'Sally sure can put on a spread at Thanksgiving.'

oh ffs not you too cd.

i shall refer you to my other thread 'gobbledispook if buffets are so chavvy' immediately.

My in laws paid a fortune for their 50th wedding anniversary celebration...but had "somebody in".... to do it.

I admit to "ordering in" from Wiatrose cold buffet range for DS & DD christening and few years ago....... couldn't quite bring myself to claim that I did it all.....

But sophable you KNOW I hate buffets

"To die for" is entirely appropriate.. if I spent thirteen quid on a dip, it would only be right that someone shoot me for such a sinful waste of money!!

DH makes absolutely gorgeous dips of varying types that cost less than a pound each when costed out!!

Hmmmm Id be surprised if Kerry Katona thinks about anything

She is the epitome of chav

"Buffets are horrid" is a very blanket statement!!

DH does mexican buffets, chinese buffets, indian buffets, kids buffets (with cocktail sausages and cheese squares AS WELL AS homemade healthy rice and salady bits)... people love coming to ours for DH's buffets.

It's a good way of feeding more people than you can cater for as a sit down meal.. AND with a lot more diversity.

They is some borderline snobbery on MN today.. .. and not just on this thread...

It's not snobby from me
I just hate food lying around, or even lookng at huge quantities of food, it puts me off eating

I like buffets, and I don't care that others find them chavy. After all, I live in Scotland, my daughter has eaten sausage rolls whilst sitting in her buggy and I have had sex with strangers who use public transport.

I'm doomed.

Well considered from that point of view, it may be just that I am a Disgusting Gluttenous Piggish Bottomless Pit..

(btw Sophable is rich posh and clever but she pretends not to be )

The buffet I did for ds's birthday a month ago consisted of ham, egg and cheese sandwiches (triangles of course), sausage rolls, veggie rolls, breadsticks, carrott sticks, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, home cooked chicken drumsticks, garlic bread, Asda's assorted dips, Asda's humous and lots of crisps. And it woz right nice too.

It might have looked like Gillian McFaeces's worst nightmare but she looks like an angry guinea pig and she smells other people's poo so I don't care.

expat dd has had a sausage roll in her buggy
I have had sex in a furniture shop
(on a sofa)

(I read that as 'I have sex with strangers in public toilets', a la George Michael presumably..!)

Just stick to the canapes eh???

PMSL @ Gin Mummy!!

Gillian McFaeces... love it!

I was thinking of sending her some faeces samples wrapped in pages of her f-ing books that I f-ing went out and bought (!) with a note saying "I would rather die early than live a long life gagging on pumpkin seeds and crapping out odourless stools.."

Oh dear I have really lowered the tone haven't I! It had risen from the depths of Miss Katona to the delights of Waitrose...

If push came to shove though who would you rather invited you for tea? Kerry 'I've gone to Iceland@ Katona or Gillian 'I smell people's poo' McFaeces?

Kerry cos she's a Northern lass and proud of it and she wouldn't look down her nose at my Asda meal for one

I have to agree. It least if you farted in her house she wouldn't smell it and tell you what your diet was lacking.
