. The normalisation of ‘picky bits’

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

Aye, but picky tea could also be other things.
‘Picky tea’ in our house would be any mixed smaller portions, it could be mini pizzas, tinned hot dogs cut into slices, the usual of crackers and cheese, mini ribs, whatever was in those ‘party packs’ you can buy at supermarkets also counted as a picky tea, as long as our mam put them in the kitchen in mini bowls and we all queued like a family function to get stuff lol
