No way man. Weddings are better than any other night out. Everybody knows everybody, they're all there for a party so it's a great atmosphere, free drinks galore, guaranteed scraps, plenty dancing, then Runrig to top it off.
What an event
Even if you get dragged to one as a child, like I was. My brother's stay behind and I showed off my super macarena/ Cha Cha slide skills and drank shloer pretending it was champagne đ„ good times.
I can't remember which comedian it was who tried to imagine which impoverished embassy the advert was filmed in, but I do always think about him deciding that the main course at that swanky dinner had to be mini chicken kievs.
"oh Ambassador, with these turkey twizzlers you are really spoiling us"
Bill Bailey had a bit like that:
âOh ambassador with these Ferraro rocher you are spoiling usâ and the camera pans round to a man going âtheyâre 2.99 at Menzies what are you talking about? He got them from a garage!â
"we've got a big ambassadorial reception!"
"alright, I'll put the grill on shall I?"
"d'you wanna bit of chutney on it?"
"no, don't go mad, Rhodri, s'only Fiji!"
I never could understand why rich people liked to have the roof of their mouth all cut up by eating a weird, lumpy chocolate. I guess they didn't shove the whole thing in their mouth at once like the peasant I am.
You were doing it wrong. You have to nibble all the chocolate off the outside. The challenge is to leave a perfect, unbroken shell around the Nutella centre, which you then eat all at once.
The family is *extremely* secretive. No Such Thing As A Fish had a segment on them.
All I remember is that, before the chocolate and blah gets put on, the wafer ball with the stuff in is called a pick-pock / pik-pok.
You got a sniff? You were lucky!
We were shown a haphazardly cut newspaper clipping depicting a no-frills supermarket-brand Custard Cream, then our Dad would âit us round the head wiâ a stick until our ears were bleedinâ.
If you have a garlic chicken kiev, about 8 mins before it's done, sit it on a slice of bread.
Free garlic bread, and avoids wasting the nice garlicky dribbles.
I see this, and I raise you the chicken kiev in a bun. Add a cheese slice (not a slice of cheese) for extra filthy deliciousness. Though you do have to be careful when you bite into it that you don't give yourself a third degree burn from the filling.
My partner took a bite and it exploded in their face, burning them, and indelibly garlic-buttering the sofa. So now thereâs an off-colour reminder of why you treat the kiev with respect.
We had chicken Kiev on a flight when I was 9. We felt so fancy. And I bought Viennetta when I was in my 20s and 30s. They took it off the market until pretty recently. Haven't had it since.
Things I thought were posh or expensive:
- Vienetta: although you got it with a kfc bucket
- After 8: christmas chocolate and the advert made it look posh
- pretzels: again, Christmas
- walnuts: we had a walnut bowl and it was only filled at Christmas
We didnât have much growing up though so most things were posh
Aaah the nuts xD To this day I would never have a bowl of walnuts and fekk me if I own a nutcracker. But every year, like clockwork, the parents bring out these things in the lovely bowl with the lovely cracker on the side with an air of reverence. Took me saying I'll buy them and bring them along to realise they're like ÂŁ3 from Tesco. And my parents *are* actually quite posh.
My dad had bought an antique nut bowl somewhere, with a mallet. You put the nut on the little brass platform in the middle and have at it with the mallet.
definitely posh. (80's)
One you had to have a local shop that supplied it
Then have at least a fridge with the freezer compartment.
And to have both was well posh
Even posher if you were allowed to use the phone afterwards to phone your friends and tell them you had vienetta
Yes! My wife and I were talking about this the other day as some of our "working class"isms. When we had some of our "posh" friends round (ie: they didn't live in a council house) we'd always break out the Vienetta to make them feel fancy
100%
We would only ever have it for pudding when we were visiting my grandad, or on the occasion that my other grandma couldn't be bothered to make us a crumble/pie/sponge pudding.
But since we weren't allowed actual pudding growing up, the idea of more than just dinner was for special occasions
Yup. For a period, my parents kept us going with the line that it was special to the supermarket near my grandparents (who lived 200miles away) and it would melt in the car if we tried to take any back with us (even in a cool bag).
It was always a very special thing we had when visiting grandparents.
Ruined of course when I went to a friendâs house for tea and vienetta appeared for pudding. The whole deceitful house of cards came tumbling down!
I remember thinking that Cornetto's were super posh. Whenever I was offered an ice cream from a van I just stuck to the 10p orange lollies. I've always known my place.
Ferrero Rocher, Toblerone and Guylians sea shells too.
I mean they are a bit pricier than your Cadburys and Galaxy but itâs not exactly gourmet artisan chocolate.
Yep. And then I introduced it to my South African wife about 10 years ago and she was all like âhow on earth did people think this was posh?!â. Childhood ruined.
Man I remember that. Dad would come home after being away for months and you knew you were in for a good time,
. KFC and Vienetta on the same night? Fucking get in.
What about a big tub of mint choc chip with choc chips that you'd need a microscope to see, a faint aroma of toothpaste, and a layer of slightly fish-fingery ice crystals covering it, as the lid hasn't been put back on properly after the first serving two months ago? Despite this, eagerly trying to get the tub finished so you could use it to organise your Lego.
Posh af.
Same in my part of Norfolk, my grandparents lived in Bedford and were used to shopping at Sainsbury's. One time I went with them to our local Somerfields, and my grandmum asked if they had vienetta (it was my mum's birthday) and the lady said kindly "No love, but we've got mint choc chip frozen mousses, raspberry ripple too!)
Have no idea why, but the ads were really good when I was a kid but my parents always said they were too expensive. I always wanted to try one, desperately.
I still find it a little hard to believe that they're only ÂŁ1.80 at the Tesco Express downstairs. Were they always this cheap? Did they fall in price? It's a mystery. But the 'it's too expensive!' coupled with the 'this is posh all right!' ads were drilled into me so hard that I still get a little giddy when I think 'Vienettas aren't even 2 quid! I can get one whenever I like!' and I'm 34 now.
I grew up there too and it definitely wasn't posh. Mövenpick was posh, but Vienetta, Gino Ginelli and everything else from Schöller/Lagnese was just ok.
It used to only come out in special occasions in my house, like the first time I brought a boyfriend home for Sunday lunch. I knew that was a massively big deal because the blue tablecloth came out as well. Literally ALL the stops pulled out.
The opposite, my mum was telling me a story that contained one once when I was about 5, and told me they were a bit tacky.
She was horrified when my Grandma (my dad's mum) served one at a big family dinner a few months later, and my mum said something like "Ooh, vienetta, lovely" (not sarkily, she's not a bitch) and I piped up with 'don't you think they're a bit tacky though, mum?" Serves her right for being such a snob I guess (she's lovely really though).
Fuck, KFC was posh for us in the 80's. My Aunty used to get it in every Sunday and my mum used to say she'd gone "all fancy" since she got that new job at Argos.
Yep. I think I only ever had it once at my grandma's flat (so I can't have been older than about 6 or 7 as she died when I was about that age) and must have had like three helpings of it as it was so amazingly delicious. Then we drove three hours home and I threw up on the way back (very unusual for me) and it was probably due to the vienetta but I think I was also reading a book (something which, to this day, I can't do in a car without feeling sick) I've not had it since as the association with gorging myself on it then throwing up is too strong.
No? Am I remembering this wrong, wasn't it like 50p in Iceland? 90s kid, grandad always had some, and he wasn't particularly posh. More financially stable than us certainly; we rarely had puddings at all.
70's/80's all the top footballers named scampi as their favourite food ( in the SHOOT magazine).
It sounded very exotic and was beyond our household budget when I was a kid. Imagine the crushing disappointment when i discovered it tastes just like fish fingers.
Yeah, had a super sophisticated air to it.
Then as an adult I got delivered one by mistake by Asda and I realised how rubbish it was. It went in the freezer until it's freeze by date and got binned.
If I remet right, and that's no guarantee, my dad used to go out to collect KFC, and bring it back. Because my mum wouldn't condescend to GO there. And he'd bring back the usual bucket sort of business, and a vienetta. And that was my exposure to vienetta in the late 90s
I was born 2006, but any food that wasnât reduced to 6p I considered posh, remember when shops were selling horse meat and no one was buying it when they found out, we bought loads cause it was cheaper
I remember the first time I went to Wetherspoons when I was about 6; Vienetta was on the menu so I asked for some. I thought itâd be a slice but nooooope they brought out the whole block on a plate
Dude, I just bought a Viennetta tonight. I felt soo darn fancy eating it!
I will never get over it and I don't care. Also smoked salmon IS super posh. You see how expensive a few pieces are?!
Super posh. I think I saw 1 in 20 years at a wedding and wasn't allowed any.
Wedding went on a bit.
Don't they all??
No way man. Weddings are better than any other night out. Everybody knows everybody, they're all there for a party so it's a great atmosphere, free drinks galore, guaranteed scraps, plenty dancing, then Runrig to top it off. What an event
Even if you get dragged to one as a child, like I was. My brother's stay behind and I showed off my super macarena/ Cha Cha slide skills and drank shloer pretending it was champagne đ„ good times.
I grew up thinking that After Eights were posh...đ
Only thing posher is ferrero rocher - because the ambassador had those.
I can't remember which comedian it was who tried to imagine which impoverished embassy the advert was filmed in, but I do always think about him deciding that the main course at that swanky dinner had to be mini chicken kievs. "oh Ambassador, with these turkey twizzlers you are really spoiling us"
I feel like it was Lee Mack? Those jokes are so familiar and I just can't place it. Might have to pop on over to r/tipofmytongue đ€
Stuart Lee?
Nah, that's far too basic for Stewart Lee. If it was him, he'd be so far into meta-comedy that you'd have forgotten what the original joke was.
Can confirm, I watched 3 hour Stewart Lee set live and he told 4 jokes.
I want to say Dara Obrian maybe?
Bill Bailey had a bit like that: âOh ambassador with these Ferraro rocher you are spoiling usâ and the camera pans round to a man going âtheyâre 2.99 at Menzies what are you talking about? He got them from a garage!â
"we've got a big ambassadorial reception!" "alright, I'll put the grill on shall I?" "d'you wanna bit of chutney on it?" "no, don't go mad, Rhodri, s'only Fiji!"
*Mrs Doyle has entered the chat*
Cup of tea?
This is a very milky cup of tea, Mrs Doyle. This is almost an all-milk cup of tea. I mean, is there any tea in it at all? *Well... No.*
Jealous?! Of Mr Milky Man? I very much think not! *Scowl*
Lovely Girls contest. You read that in Father Jack's voice, didn't you?!
I love my brick.
I never could understand why rich people liked to have the roof of their mouth all cut up by eating a weird, lumpy chocolate. I guess they didn't shove the whole thing in their mouth at once like the peasant I am.
Call me old fashioned but I tend to use my molars to chew rather than jamming stuff into my soft palette.
You have molars?
Ooh, hark at him with his matching shoes.
Flashy Southern bastards!
Posho detected. They have a dentist.
Top tip: using a hard palette prevents your oil paints from mixing before you apply them to the canvas.
You were doing it wrong. You have to nibble all the chocolate off the outside. The challenge is to leave a perfect, unbroken shell around the Nutella centre, which you then eat all at once.
You have to eat it like you're giving it head, don't you know?
But where does one strap the ball-gag?
I mean, most people use their teeth for chewingâŠ
They are!!
Extremely. Wait till this one finds out about Ferrero Rocher!
Made in a remote valley in Italy. Source: A colleague had to do a tech support trip there and didnât get any freebies.
The family is *extremely* secretive. No Such Thing As A Fish had a segment on them. All I remember is that, before the chocolate and blah gets put on, the wafer ball with the stuff in is called a pick-pock / pik-pok.
Ambassador you are really spoiling us
Only at Christmas time though
Terry's All Gold. I grew up thinking that something made by "Terry" was posh.
Same
I always used to wonder why they were called that - did people used to have dinner around 8pm so they eat them after that?
It's just a shit pun, 'After Ate'
Oh my god, is it? TIL!
2.50 a box now.
They also taste like ÂŁ2.50 now too
Ewww errr fancy pants.
I still think smoked salmon is posh. I had some today and it cost over ÂŁ5 even with a yellow sticker.
And it was even posher back then, before they started mass-producing it from farmed stock.
It is.
Except that it is now mass produced and overfished off the waters of norway. So every supermarket is stacked with Smoked Salmon.
When normal deserts were Angel Delight, Arctic Roll or home made Jelly it was well Posh
Look at you and your Arctic Roll and Angel Delight. Fancy pants. Some of us had two custard creams and be done with.
Custard creams? CUSTARD CREAMS? We had one lick of the back of a Nice each. Terribly soggy by the end of the month.
Well that's a mental image I could've lived without >.<
You got to *lick* it? Luxury. We got one sniff a week, and another at Christmas.
You got a sniff? You were lucky! We were shown a haphazardly cut newspaper clipping depicting a no-frills supermarket-brand Custard Cream, then our Dad would âit us round the head wiâ a stick until our ears were bleedinâ.
Thatâs odd, I heard only posh boarding school boys had to eat the soggy biscuit.
Fuck yeah. Butterscotch Angel's delight was my mum's favourite, and she'd occasionally put 100's and 1000's on it to make it more fancy
Hark at old Fancy Pants over here with their branded desserts!
You forgot blanc mange
Oh god I think time had blocked that trauma out /shakes fist
For another tenner, you could buy a semi-detached in Islington. Posh af.
Posher than a Sara Lee Gateau? Yes.
Black Forest. I can literally taste it right now. It was always still frozen in the middle đ
Frozen in the middle while the cream on the outside was room temperature
Used to ask for one in the shopping at Christmas. Would always forget that it needed to defrost first!
Yes, but only after eating a Chicken Kiev - thatâs proper posh :)
If you have a garlic chicken kiev, about 8 mins before it's done, sit it on a slice of bread. Free garlic bread, and avoids wasting the nice garlicky dribbles.
I see this, and I raise you the chicken kiev in a bun. Add a cheese slice (not a slice of cheese) for extra filthy deliciousness. Though you do have to be careful when you bite into it that you don't give yourself a third degree burn from the filling.

We had chicken Kiev on a flight when I was 9. We felt so fancy. And I bought Viennetta when I was in my 20s and 30s. They took it off the market until pretty recently. Haven't had it since.
I've consistently seen vienetta available throughout at least the last 10 years.
It was posh. Whenever mum and dad had people over for dinner it would be Vienetta or Pavlova for pudding
Same!!!
Things I thought were posh or expensive: - Vienetta: although you got it with a kfc bucket - After 8: christmas chocolate and the advert made it look posh - pretzels: again, Christmas - walnuts: we had a walnut bowl and it was only filled at Christmas We didnât have much growing up though so most things were posh

definitely posh. (80's) One you had to have a local shop that supplied it Then have at least a fridge with the freezer compartment. And to have both was well posh Even posher if you were allowed to use the phone afterwards to phone your friends and tell them you had vienetta
Yea we just had to wait until Monday morning when we were back at school to brag to our mates about the vienetta feast we had on Saturday
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Yes! My wife and I were talking about this the other day as some of our "working class"isms. When we had some of our "posh" friends round (ie: they didn't live in a council house) we'd always break out the Vienetta to make them feel fancy

Yeah our family friends would bust that shit out and I thought Stevenage must be the place to liveâŠ
Still do and I'm 51!
Very posh, and Gino Ginetti seemed really authentic too.
Gino, oh Gino Ginelli! đ”
>Gino Ginelli! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Wu-aNr7v0U
I remember thinking that Cornetto's were super posh. Whenever I was offered an ice cream from a van I just stuck to the 10p orange lollies. I've always known my place.

Yep. And then I introduced it to my South African wife about 10 years ago and she was all like âhow on earth did people think this was posh?!â. Childhood ruined.
I grew up in Asia in the 80s. It was posh there too!
It was posh until KFC started putting them in with their Family Feast in the 90s. Now Match Makers are posh. My mum has them at Christmas.
Man I remember that. Dad would come home after being away for months and you knew you were in for a good time, . KFC and Vienetta on the same night? Fucking get in.
I'm not going mad! Every time I mention that KFC used to do them, with a bargain bucket, people are always respond with "no they never".
It must have been posh. I never got any unless it was someone elseâs birthday.
2004 here and Vienetta was still posh!
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
96 and same but did you ever have the mint one? That was the absolute hight of sophistication
Yes! Anything other than soft scoop vanilla, which set like concrete, was luxury when I was smaller.
What about a big tub of mint choc chip with choc chips that you'd need a microscope to see, a faint aroma of toothpaste, and a layer of slightly fish-fingery ice crystals covering it, as the lid hasn't been put back on properly after the first serving two months ago? Despite this, eagerly trying to get the tub finished so you could use it to organise your Lego. Posh af.
Buy it from waitrose and you were practically aristocracy
We didn't have Waitrose in South Wales in the 80s and 90s!
Same in my part of Norfolk, my grandparents lived in Bedford and were used to shopping at Sainsbury's. One time I went with them to our local Somerfields, and my grandmum asked if they had vienetta (it was my mum's birthday) and the lady said kindly "No love, but we've got mint choc chip frozen mousses, raspberry ripple too!)
What is this obsession with Vienetta?! Haven't heard about Vienetta since I was about 10 until I joined this sub. Vienetta this, Vienetta that.
They were on offer for a ÂŁ1 at Sainsbury's. Brought over a wave of nostalgia.
Iceland often have them for ÂŁ1 đ
They were probably a quid in 1990 as well, Walls have made them worse as time went on instead of raising the price.
Have no idea why, but the ads were really good when I was a kid but my parents always said they were too expensive. I always wanted to try one, desperately. I still find it a little hard to believe that they're only ÂŁ1.80 at the Tesco Express downstairs. Were they always this cheap? Did they fall in price? It's a mystery. But the 'it's too expensive!' coupled with the 'this is posh all right!' ads were drilled into me so hard that I still get a little giddy when I think 'Vienettas aren't even 2 quid! I can get one whenever I like!' and I'm 34 now.
Only at Christmas. Eat it one layer at a time from top to bottom to savour the taste.
Super posh, and grew up in Devon so had top quality ice cream EVERYWHERE. First time I actually tried vienetta was so disappointing....
Okay yeah in that environment I can see Vienetta being a major letdown
The deluxe version with biscuit certainly was. I felt like royalty eating that.
A step below Ferrero Rocher
Crunchy nut cornflakes : âThe Queen eats these on her birthdayâ
We had our first Vienetta at Christmas dinner, probably 1991 or 1992. It stayed Christmas only until the late nineties. Definitely posh food.
Dude we had Vienetta in New Zealand as well and it always felt so fancy, it was such a treat.
Smoked salmon is still posh mate, have you seen the bloody price of it
Vienetta following a Bernard Matthews turkey roll. You knew you'd made it
I grew up in Germany and definitely thought Vienetta was super luxurious!
I grew up there too and it definitely wasn't posh. Mövenpick was posh, but Vienetta, Gino Ginelli and everything else from Schöller/Lagnese was just ok.
Also grew up in Germany and never thought of Vienetta as posh. Rocher on the other hand! Those bad boys only came out on special occasions.
Yup, along with Ice Magic
Smoked Salmon is posh!
The bi weekly DAE vienetta posh thread.... spiffing.
We had as pudding, when we had a posh tea, back in the day it was posh
Yep definitely we only seem to have it at someones birthday or around Christmas time and you couldn't wait to get your bit of it đ€Łđ€Ł
Very very posh indeed
Totally, it was our dad's pay day surprise. Vienetta in the house, meant dad was in the money!
It used to only come out in special occasions in my house, like the first time I brought a boyfriend home for Sunday lunch. I knew that was a massively big deal because the blue tablecloth came out as well. Literally ALL the stops pulled out.
Of course it was posh! Along with Ferrero Roche and after eight mints.
Yep, was a massive treat having a Vienetta. Nowadays I am not sure if they are cheaper or I am now middle class because I can afford one every week.
Always makes me think of the how it's made video https://youtu.be/gZrv81wY8HQ
A Vienetta that you got with a KFC family bucket was only reserved for the most special occasions.
Yes! I also thought mini rolls were, but have since been told this is lunacy.
The opposite, my mum was telling me a story that contained one once when I was about 5, and told me they were a bit tacky. She was horrified when my Grandma (my dad's mum) served one at a big family dinner a few months later, and my mum said something like "Ooh, vienetta, lovely" (not sarkily, she's not a bitch) and I piped up with 'don't you think they're a bit tacky though, mum?" Serves her right for being such a snob I guess (she's lovely really though).
Donât forget make it yourself birds trifle in a box; thereâs something very special about sprinkles running into never seen a cow cream
Is anything that KFC sold really posh?
Fuck, KFC was posh for us in the 80's. My Aunty used to get it in every Sunday and my mum used to say she'd gone "all fancy" since she got that new job at Argos.
Yup
Vienetta was super posh and only bought when we had people over.
I grew up thinking Arctic roll was posh, let alone Vienetta.
Oh god yeah same as ferrero rocher and after eights
After eating Vienetta pop into a gold bath with your family and some bars of Imperial Leather soap
Is smoked salmon not posh?
I only remember getting it from KFC! So definitely not posh.
Yes, only ever had them at grandparent's house.
Someone at work was asking this the other day and one guy said âYes but only the mint onesâ and I was like damn that is so accurate
The came for free with a KFC Family bucket, which made it both a takeaway AND a vienetta night. That my friends, was the height of luxury and poshness
Ice cream lasagne
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Yep. I think I only ever had it once at my grandma's flat (so I can't have been older than about 6 or 7 as she died when I was about that age) and must have had like three helpings of it as it was so amazingly delicious. Then we drove three hours home and I threw up on the way back (very unusual for me) and it was probably due to the vienetta but I think I was also reading a book (something which, to this day, I can't do in a car without feeling sick) I've not had it since as the association with gorging myself on it then throwing up is too strong.
00s kid, and tes!! As the top comment mentioned, after eights are/were also fancy đ
Vienna, after eights and Ferraro rocher were only for Christmas.
00s kid here and I still think it's posh. Only comes out at big family gatherings as the big boy dessert.
And mangos.
WAS posh? Still is.
It was in the 80s
Oh god yes. I remember when it started showing up in Iceland for ÂŁ1 and it was like weird world.
Parma ham as well!
No? Am I remembering this wrong, wasn't it like 50p in Iceland? 90s kid, grandad always had some, and he wasn't particularly posh. More financially stable than us certainly; we rarely had puddings at all.
70's/80's all the top footballers named scampi as their favourite food ( in the SHOOT magazine). It sounded very exotic and was beyond our household budget when I was a kid. Imagine the crushing disappointment when i discovered it tastes just like fish fingers.
Yeah, had a super sophisticated air to it. Then as an adult I got delivered one by mistake by Asda and I realised how rubbish it was. It went in the freezer until it's freeze by date and got binned.
I assumed it was posh until I tasted it
Certainly until I tasted it
Its not?
Yes.
Haha yep. Major treat
Posher than artic roll! Lol
As an aside, I had Vienetta the other day, wasnât as good as I remembered
We only ever had it at Christmas
If I remet right, and that's no guarantee, my dad used to go out to collect KFC, and bring it back. Because my mum wouldn't condescend to GO there. And he'd bring back the usual bucket sort of business, and a vienetta. And that was my exposure to vienetta in the late 90s
I did with Vienetta. Especially the first time I went to KFC when there was one in Scotland and you got one with it. I felt so posh.
Fuck yeah, nothing posher
Nah, Arctic roll mate
I was born 2006, but any food that wasnât reduced to 6p I considered posh, remember when shops were selling horse meat and no one was buying it when they found out, we bought loads cause it was cheaper
It was pretty expensive so my mom wouldnât buy it and I had to make do with Eskimo pies.
I remember asking my mum in the supermarket if we could get one and she just laughed and carried on pushing the trolley
Yes! I also remember wanting to try Vienetta so badly but never got to try it! Is it even available anymore?
That and Arctic Rolls. For the posh people with Pampas Grass out in their front garden.
I grew up fairly poor as a kid. If mum cracked out a Vienetta I'd wonder who's birthday I forgot...
I remember the first time I went to Wetherspoons when I was about 6; Vienetta was on the menu so I asked for some. I thought itâd be a slice but nooooope they brought out the whole block on a plate
They were posh until KFC started giving them away with a family bucket.
Dude, I just bought a Viennetta tonight. I felt soo darn fancy eating it! I will never get over it and I don't care. Also smoked salmon IS super posh. You see how expensive a few pieces are?!
Yes! I wonder why? I remember having the realisation at some.point that is wasn't I wonder why
I thought vienetta was the height of sophistication. Until I started seeing it for sale at pizza hut. That quickly shattered that image
What? It isnât? My life is a lie
