A mum sparked outrage with her choice of Christmas breakfast which she claims is a "classic" meal to kick start festivities.
Posting on Mumsnet, the parent said her family begin Christmas Day by tucking into "traditional" fish finger sarnies.
The mum said her "classic Xmas day breakfast was served up on doorstop bread with a dollop of ketchup and that wearing pyjamas was strictly forbidden.
But she faced backlash from horrified naysayers, with one asking "what kind of a monster eats fish finger sandwiches for breakfast?" Liverpool Echo reports.
The mum posted: "Aibu [Am I being unreasonable] or are fish finger sarnies a classic Xmas day breakfast?
"Seemed to be traditional among the family. Doorstop bread butter and a dollop of catsup [ketchup] no other sauce allowed. Also never allowed in PJ's once out of bed."
Fellow parents flocked to the Mumsnet site in outrage, quick to disagree with this choice of breakfast.
One person said: "No, no and no again. What kind of a monster eats fish finger sandwiches for breakfast?"
Agreeing, another said: "I love a fish finger sandwich but it’s not a breakfast thing."
Another added: "Never heard of fish finger sandwiches for Christmas day breakfast."
One Mumsnet user seemed curious to know if the Christmas fish finger sarnie was a geographical tradition.
They said: "No, it's just your family. Love a fish finger sandwich but never met anyone who has them for Christmas breakfast. Whereabouts did you grow up?"
Another said: "No. Nothing against a fish finger sarnie, but for breakfast? Yuck. On Christmas day? Sorry that is weird."
While others offered a more helpful approach, keen to suggest their considered-to-be 'acceptable' choice of Christmas brekky.
One person said: " Sorry, what? Got to be bacon butties, surely."
Another agreed: "Bacon or sausage butties on Christmas day, with loads of ketchup."
One asked: "Poor man's smoked salmon? We're team bacon butties here."
While another added: "We always have croissants for breakfast on Christmas Day."
