Page 957 - Etiquette of Contempt

It begs the question: What kind of upbringing led this Prince, a nephew of Celestia who has been shown to be laid-back and hooves-off to a fault, to hysterically scream about apple fritters being too “common” for him?

There are moments where “It’s just a cartoon” and then there are moments where “Hey, wait a minute…”

DM: Blueblood buys a couple of your apple fritters, one for him and one for Dainty Dove. He samples his fritter and says:
Prince Blueblood: As apple fritters go, I have to admit it’s a top-notch recipe.
Twilight Sparkle: So, he can at least act polite. Any idea why he might secretly hate you, though? Have you met before?
Applejack: I dunno, have I?
DM: You’re fairly sure you’ve never met him in your life.
Applejack: …Not leavin’ much ambiguity on that one, huh?
DM: On his way back into the palace, he adds: Though you should be aware that you’re competing with the free buffet in the banquet hall.
Applejack: Hey, at least I already sold an apple pie tonight!
Rainbow Dash: To the one guy who is obsessively… obsessed with pie.
Applejack: Right, right… Well, Prince’s movin’ anyway; maybe Ah’ll change tactics a bit.
