Well according to this weeks Observer food magazine we are. Apparently growing your own fruit and veg is posh - real posh nosh. And shop bought out of season stuff is very "common".
Other posh nosh is cold pea soup, any game in season, gulls eggs with celery salt, sweetbreads, pigs trotters, any fish with its head on, baked pears, baked bananas, bread and butter pudding and its acceptable to buy tinned rice, pineapple chunks and corned beef hash.
But very common is anything microwaved, quartered tomatoes, onion rings, potato croquettes and oven chips, minted lamb, the words meal, cereal, nibbles and wedges, sprigs of parsley, philadelphia with bread sticks and white pepper - unless its with cockles.
Maybe we're not as posh as first thought.
Do you think we should be greatful to Mary Killen (etiquette expert) for telling us all this, and saving us from a great big gaffe ?
