Food At Weddings

[Bazile]

Have you ever been to a wedding , where the wedding breakfast was truly yummy ?

[Georgiesmum]

Yes, why do you ask? Have you had a bad experience of it?

[Prudie]

No I've never experienced one where every course is yummy.

is this serious ?
or just Tuesday AB whimsy ? - [you know when you say you dont know something when you do - for comic effect.]

Nosh - tucker - after a wedding service.
[ in case a joker amusingly posts - "I don't! - I Don't!"]

[woofgang]

yes...my wedding buffet....I chose the menu and my family cooked it :)

[Bazile]

It just came to my mind , sort of randomly
Actually not randomly

Wedding over the weekend, just gone - expensive venue - wondered what the food was like .
Been to weddings in the past where the food was nothing to write home about

[237SJ]

No (apart from one in Sydney which was a BBQ)

[Bazile]

ahhh - you can't beat a good old barbie , can you .
The smell of the paraffin on the road kill , lends a certain, je ne sais quoi,

[gness]

Often, Baz...but I did go to one where I was on the last table to be called and the food had almost run out....
We shared the little that was left between us...not wanting to embarrass the hosts......and raided the fridge when we got home....x

Wedding Breakfast is not a term that is used up, north of the border.

I think that there may be other differences in the format of the wedding, but I can't remember what they are.

'Wedding breakfast' is a term used in Scotland.

[wolf63]

HC - maybe, but not in my bit of Scotland

[Bazile]

Wedding breakfast is a slightly odd description , isn't it

[Bazile]

gness - how outrageous - I would have kicked up a stink
Fancy not seeing to the most important people of the day - all your guests

[Old_Geezer]

Never understood why the title breakfast was being used, since few weddings occur prior to normal breakfast time. But to answer the question, aren't all courses always yummy ?

[gness]

Ah no, Baz....they were happy...shame to give them a bad memory..x

[Neveracrossword]

According to Brewer's, it's called '...breakfast' because most weddings used to take place in the morning. There's no mention of
local/regional use there or in Chambers - it seems to have been a standard term.

[Prudie]

aren't all courses always yummy ? Not if one of them is salmon mousse which it often is at big hotel/catering type dos I've been to.
