Have I missed any?

  1. Where I grew up Ribena was considered posh. Us council house kids had very, very diluted Robinsons instead. Also mayonnaise, we just had salad cream.

  2. It might not count but when you have little snacks like olives and they’re served with toothpicks. Felt posh af stabbing an olive w a toothpick and eating it

  3. you missed caviar.

    Yes, you can get beluga caviar that costs thousands per spoon, but the same goes for literally any food, you get weird artisan varieties, like proper wagyu beef, but the normal stuff isnt that expensive, like £5 a little tin, and really isnt that amazing either (although its not BAD either, id rate it like 7 out of 10 lol)

  4. If these aren’t posh, what do posh people actually eat?

  5. I got a 1kg pack of those shells for Christmas once. It was absolutely massive. It didn’t 2 weeks

  6. Not quite the same thing but maybe a sort of parrallel theme is that Milk Tray required delivery via a secret agent.

    Oh and Hamlet Cigars, I used to love those adverts with the old boy blowing those yobs speed boat with his submarine, this was the 1980s so that advert was better than a lot of the programs.

  7. I don’t think Guylian belongs here. Those bastards cost a fortune

  8. Ey an ice cream like this is still posh, just cos it’s 1or2 quid don’t mean it’s not fancy!

  9. This was the epitome of fanciful fare in Australia too!

  10. When Vienetta first came out people thought it was something special – they served it at dinner parties.

    We had one a couple of days ago – kids loved it but me not so much given that it was basically a slice of cold gloopy sugar . . .

  11. Elizabeth Shaw mints – effectively anything chocolate mint was for monocle wearing millionairs when I was a kid

  12. proper British chocs, like Ferrero Rocher and Guylian.

  13. Swiss roll and Battenburg definite fancy treats on visits to older, better off relatives.

  14. You’ve accidentally included vienetta in this list. That is 100% posh. And I refuse to accept otherwise.

    I served it at my wedding

  15. Those guylian chocolates are absolutely abhorrent.

  16. Have you seen how much Ferrero costs? That shit is billionaire stuff
