A cheeky British expression for fancy, upscale food — the kind of elaborately plated, eye-wateringly priced cuisine you'd encounter at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Say it with the right tone and it immediately sounds both impressed and mocking at once, which is very much the point. It rhymes cleanly, making it satisfying to say, and it captures the British tendency to take the mickey out of pretentious dining. The phrase has a humorous edge, suggesting the food is a bit try-hard even if it's undeniably delicious.
