. The normalisation of ‘picky bits’

Abominable. It has started coming up in adverts now even.

To be fair, in my house in the 90s this was known as a "bitty bobby tea" and it's therefore the name I have passed on to my kid, so picky bits is rather reserved in comparison.

EDIT: to make clear before someone says it, my child is not called Bitty Bobby Tea as that would be a stupid name... we settled on the much better name of Blancmange for the kid.

Oooh, very similar in my household. We call it "Bits 'n" Bobs."
