Food Humblebrag. . .

Humblebrag

A form self promotion where the promoter thinks he is, almost subliminally, bragging about himself in the context of a humble statement or complaint.

Got any good food related humblebrags?

    The tenderloin was done to a turn, the truffles were lovely, but everyone asked for A-1.

              You flatter me. 1. I'd never use that word and 2. I was merely stating a fact...it was being neither humble nor a braggart.

                Obviously, you are missing the meaning of humble brag.

                Stating the fact that you would 'cook more if......our maid quit' is a classic example of Humble bragging..

                Humble Brag
                'When you brag about something without even realizing it'.

                It's all good..we all do it in some shape or form.

                  I would love to show you how to properly use a good knife.

                  If you owned any.

                      You know what they say about a dull knife. Most likely to cut you to the bone.

                      The sharp knife cuts all the way through to the cutting board.

                      :-O
