what's for tea? Poo pie?

[crisgal]

what did your mum answer when you asked her?
My mum and nan used to have some good 'uns:

'Two jumps each at' pantry door - see if you can reach the lock!'
and
'Air pie, wi' no crust - and two slides each round' plate!'

[WELSHYORKIE]

Sh1t with sugar on was a favourite of our next door neighbour in the 60s.

[stoofur]

'bit of bread and run round it

Or
A pinch and a poke for the nosey folk.

We used to ask "What's for dinner?" and got the reply "What have we got for dinner today? Nothing for you but sawdust and hay!" an old TV reference I believe?

[craft1948]

We never asked, it was considered bad manners.

[welshlibranr]

We were told 'twice round the table, and out'......Thankfully they were just joking!...we were always well fed!..............

[heathfield]

My wife's mother would say, 'Stewed balloons and pickled gaspipes!'. ;-)

[daffy654]

When my son asks me I just tell him we're having food, he now knows to ask his dad if he wants a proper answer.

[McMouse]

Bread and pullet was a favourite,

[yogasun]

My gran used to say 'A leg of nothing and no potatoes' !

[snags]

My Uncle would always reply with 'lips n arseoles'...

[Mamyalynne]

Boiled egg and 3 spoons.

[boxtops]

I don't think we ever asked, we got what we were given. When I was a kid there was no question of faddiness, you ate it or went hungry.

[crisgal]

have i missed something? What on earth has faddiness got to do with owt??
Asking what's for tea, means you are looking forward to the meal. My kids eat everything I put in front of them.

[Ratty2E]

Hot snot and Bogey pie

[LoftyLottie]

Sh1t and sugar was always the reply by my grandmother and mother.

[LoftyLottie]

Oh yes and Bread and pullet from my Nan.

[LoftyLottie]

Agree, nothing to do with faddiness. Just hungry children wondering what was coming.
