In American English, "posh" is usually used to describe luxury objects; the interior of a Rolls-Royce, for example, might be called posh.
In British English, the same meaning for objects and styles holds, but people can also be posh (although not "a posh" as in the original usage), by which it is meant that they display both wealth and "upper class" tastes.
Posh Nosh: Information from Answers.com (589 words)
Posh Nosh was a 2003 BBC television programme parodying television chefs.
The introductory theme for Posh Nosh is taken from the traditional English ballad titled "The Raggle-Taggle Gypsies".
As with the voice of the Posh Nosh Range promotionals, the person who sings the theme song is not credited, but it is the famous English countertenor Alfred Deller, who recorded the song several times, although it is unclear whether the recording used is the one from the mid-1950s or the one from around 1970.
