Do You Wear an Apron?

In Canada and the U.S. we call it an "apron." In the U.K., you might hear it referred to as a "pinny." And in Germany, I believe the word is "Schürze." (I hope Herr Mago will correct me if I'm mistaken.)





Do you Bitches wear an apron while cooking or baking or barbecuing?

If so, do you prefer a full frontal coverage apron (as pictured in photo #1) or a half apron (as pictured in photo #2)?

Do you prefer a utilitarian, no-nonsense style or something frilly to flounce about the kitchen?

And finally, do you have any novelty aprons (i.e. aprons with funny images or sayings)?...



Tell us about your aprons, Bitches.

  1. My sister gave me a full length blue denim apron years ago. I used it when BBQing, until it was worn out. Currently apronless.

    Does The Mistress have one of these?

    1. If I'm ever invited to a Fourth of July BBQ in the U.S., I'll be sure to wear that.

  2. I generally don't wear an apron, but did indeed wear one when a made the lad dinner for his birthday once, just like the pictures above. Just a apron. I suggest eating before hand, before your guest arrive. Dinner was delayed by two hours.

  3. Life is too short, dear, to wear such specialised items. Besides, Madam Arcati's the chef, not moi - why keep a dog and bark yourself? Jx

    PS a "pinny" more often than not refers to one of these - the "battleaxe" type, not the bare-bum type...

    1. JON: I stand corrected although some older Brit ladies I knew who lived in Canada referred to what we’d call an apron a “pinny,” hence my confusion.

  4. I do have a plain black apron for kitchen use (on the rare occasion I'm wearing good clothes when cooking).And for printing? Yes, usually an old kitchen one.
    But, many years ago, for a giggle ,I made an apron and chef's hat for The Man.

    1. EXACTLY the point I was going to make.

      And yet the two I have (one has King Kong on the Empire State Building, swatting at bi-planes made of hot dogs) are both worn down practically to shreds.

    2. NORMA & PEENEE: Do I have to come to your house and MAKE you put on your aprons?

  6. I wore a leather apron to a dance party once. I was very popular for some reason.

  7. Der Schurz, seemingly related to "short" ; die Schürze, seemingly related to "shirt" & "skirt". Both germanic words describe a piece of cloth protecting tighs and lower abdomen.
    The French word of the high middle ages "apron" is a "naperon", a small table cloth, "nappa" or "mappa", napkin.
    The Latin "mappa" is seemingly a Punic loan word meaning what we today call a serviette.
    Servietten I use daily, aprons not so much.

    1. MAGO: Thank you.

      We used to call napkins “serviettes” here in Canada but you seldom hear that word anymore.

  8. JON: Reading that list makes me want to "partake of liquid" as Ms. Mitford would say.

    1. Partake to your heart's content on your sofa, in your "nice house". Just don't, whatever you do, refer to vegetables as "greens". Jx
