d-d-d-dAz Posted July 23 Posted July 23 To the extent I acknowledge the existence of 'picky bits', I refuse to accept kale belongs in that category. Unless the name refers to things we 'picky' up and put in the bin. Quote

Chili Posted July 25 Posted July 25 I saw a political cartoon containing the phrase and a friend of mine sharing it and specifically mentioning how much the use of 'picky bits' made them laugh RIGHT AFTER I've just been through this thread. I told them I've never heard of this phrase and she found that very surprising. She's from Fleet, I don't know where that is, but they've been exposed to picky bits prior. Quote

CTXRussomark Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Chalk me up as another who had never heard the term picky bits in his life until this thread, but I was staying in a hotel in Preston last night and the first thing I see getting into the lift is a sign advertising all the picky bits they have available at the hotel restaurant. Madness. Quote
Joe Blog Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Picky bits is used by the same people who say hollybobs and ‘cheeky (insert anything)’ Horrid, just horrid. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted July 25 Posted July 25 We don't call it "picky bits" - in our house it's called "25 mini sausage rolls" Quote
