Family codes and ritualsFreddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

How did we survive on this?Seven kids and two parents:
Sunday: Roast Chicken and gravy.
Monday: Roast Chicken leftovers reheated in many unimaginative ways.
Tuesday: One tinned Fray Bentos Steak & Kidney pie to share between nine.
Wednesday: Scrambled eggs on toast.
Thursday: Beans (one tin) on toast.
Friday: 2 Fish Fingers and mash.
Saturday: Cheese on toast.
It must have all the potatoes!

being one of five kids...My brothers would steal food off of my plate. My mother made exactly one portion of food for each of us, and small portions at that. My brothers both were always starving. Also, eggs and toast were a family staple... YUM!!!
