Regular fry-ups - only for the 'working class'?

[Richdog]

Well yeah, everyone has different tastes. I refuse to take stock in any kind of table relating the food we eat to the class we fit with.

Agree 100%, I think anyone who gives real thought to how the food they eat effects their status ranks among the more sad examples of humanity i've yet seen. I mean really... who gives a ****?

As for the "city types not eating fried food" comments I disagree... a lot of professionals eat such food. Not ALL the time or every day like some workmen etc may, but certainly enough to be considered commonplace.

I'm genuinely glad I was born "working class" with my feet firmly grounded, it's frightening what some people worry about.

You sound just as bad as snobs, but from the other end of the spectrum. Turning your nose up at anything "posh"

Not really. I just can't stand pompous or pretentious people and for some unknown reason these seem to be those awful, moronic keep-up-with-the-Joneses Middle\Upper Middle class twits the type of people who would eat Smoked Salmon for breakfast on a regular basis just to try and get one up on their equally stupid neighbours.

Don't worry I reserve equal amounts of scorn for the scummy end of the market too.

If you want to eat Smoked Salmon for breakfast on a regular basis and don't mind the financial hit it woul incur then go ahead.

Me? I'll stick to Museli with the odd fry up and keep dishing out my opinions to the nation.

you can't beat a fry up, I have one every sunday and during the week it's off to the local van for square sausage and tattie scone rolls. I don't care what class I am as im scottish we let our stomachs do the talking. And long live the haggis yum

So, have these "pompous or pretentious people" told you that they have smoked salmon for breakfast to keep up with their neighbours? Where is your evidence or experience?

Or, are you just stereotyping? < That might be rhetorical, I don't know yet.

 

[Dogoid]

such pompous opinions by the times as usual. pomp reading for the pomp masses.

 

[Vixen]

I don't think I've ever had a fry up, just the idea of all that grease is enough to make me feel sick. I'm pretty sure my parents never did fried breakfasts at all when I lived with them, and eating them regularly is an odd notion to me.

Oh man, your missing out. You should make one. If you don't like the idea of grease, then grill the meat and have scrambled or poached eggs. Oven baked tomatoes however the mushrooms do have to be fried in a little butter and garlic.
You should certainly try one this Sunday.

 

[Voltar]

I am certainly no commoner and if I could I'd have the breakfast of champions every day. There is no substitute for ma's brekkie <3

I'm a vegetarian .

I'm a vegetarian .

In that case probably won't work very well. Imitation sausages and bacon are awful.

Delicious != Pretentious

Sure it would be a tasty dish, but for breakfast it simply is pretentious and there is no need for it apart from the bragging factor.

Using the word 'delicious' is pretentious? I think it's quite a good word to describe something you enjoy the taste of.

I've had smoked salmon for breakfast and not told anyone about it afterwards. Why would I unless they asked what I'd eaten? You seem to have a skewed view of why people eat the food they enjoy.

Not sure what this means. Care to elaborate?

 

[Glaucus]

some rich kids don't understand money or what is normal. Not necessarily a bad thing. But it does make for very amusing comments.

 

[wannabedamned]

I eat a cooked breakfast, but I don't fry anything other than the Egg

Tastes just as Nice, and no grease.

And for the Egg I just use 1cal spray Oil.

Yum, Then I carb overload it by eating lots of bread

But that's okay because I go running every weekday morning.

Right, gotcha, more or less.

That makes no sense, if you like it, why not eat it for breakfast?

You sound just as bad as snobs, but from the other end of the spectrum. Turning your nose up at anything "posh"

Indeed, it's called inverted snobbery.

 

[Glaucus]

inverted snobbery.

Learn something new everyday. There's so many people with that problem. Almost everyone I work with has that stupid attitude. They think the world owes them something. Rather than getting of there lazy behinds and working for it.

 

[wannabedamned]

Haha, Pretentious because they eat Salmon for breakfast. Classic

 

[V3g3tto]

Eww, vegetarian. Could you imagine the havoc if for the next 50 years everyone went vegetarian. What would you do with all the animals? Cows breeding freely, chickens and pigs let loose, farms wouldn't keep hundreds of livestock as pets. It would eventually lead to mass livestock culling like dawn of the dead. So the animals would die anyway.

Thank heavens for people like me who instead of wasting the animals, i make use of their delicious produce

 

[LordSplodge]

Using the word 'delicious' is pretentious?

No. != mean not equal to. I.e. food can be delicious and not pretentious. Getddit?

Part stereotype, part based on experience of such people.

Haha, Pretentious because they eat Salmon for breakfast. Classic

In my opinion yes. So?

For a start, there wouldn't be as many animals around because they wouldn't be purpose bred, but I seriously couldn't care less if they all died out as I'm not an animal activist. Do you attempt to troll every thread you post in?
