T'Yorkshire Challenge

[uweuweuwe]

Having a posh southern wife I am having to bring the kids up bilingual. The Shame I felt when I went round to me mam's and she stood up and said she was going to make the tea and my eldest son replied he could make cups of tea.

Spent many a late night trying to explain that you eat breakfast dinner and tea. A cup of tea is called a brew. Plus you eat a chip muffin and any item of food that contains the word cake should be eaten as afters(or desert if you are posh).

I have a mate called Pete who once at villa park asked for chip's pudding and gravy. The kid behind the counter looked puzzled and replied we don't do gravy and whats a pudding. This was the last away game he went to south of the Cheshire border.

No, I'm from Cheshire originally, though my girlfriend is American.

But I've always known meal times them as these.

I don't know anyone that has afternoon tea other than maybe the Queen. It just sounded like something an American would think goes on.

I work for an Essex based company and the other week was discussing the all encompassing accompaniment to almost any meal, gravy
One of the blokes I was talking to lives in Southend and admitted he'd never had chips and gravy

What do you put in your barn ?

... the other downside of living in the sticks. ;-)

That needed editing.

Using your logic then; why do we have "brunch" but not "brinner"?

I believe it is called brinner in the winter. Only a few short months ago, aroundYuletide, I met some friends and we sat around the Yule log eating our Yule brinner.

Got a laugh out of me.

In Huddersfield they call them a chip tea cake.

It's a barm and always will be. As is Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

Feel free to ring up a restaurant tonight and make a reservation for tea - they will tell you they don't do cucumber sandwiches.

We refer to "tea" at home but we do go out for dinner.

It is a barm.

I’m from Stockport and it’s breakfast, dinner and tea. It’s a chip barm and I’d say Sheffield pisses all over Bradford as far as the best city is concerned.

We go out for a meal! It's a muffin.
