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?

We have a few odd ones....As a family we ritually had coffee and a dash at the biscuit tin at around 10pm - just before bed. Looking back - caffeine at 10pm? even for me and my sister (11 and 8 respectively)
There is also when we eat boiled eggs, turn them over when empty and try and "sell" the extra "egg" to each other.
Good sandwiches are called Banjos. as in Bacon Banjo.....
Smoked salmon and cream cheese no matter how nice would never be a banjo. Fishfingers can be banjo'ed ......
My wifes family are Norwegian - i simply won't talk about the dried rotten cod, the rank brown cheeses and pigs heads. The rituals are way too odd, involve very odd food - generally dried or salted - and lots of alcohol. But Pinnekjøtt and aquavit on xmas eve is wicked.

egg bangoso called because when you take a bite all the egg drips down the front of your shirt causing you to flick at it the thumb on your right hand whilst holding the butty outstretched in left arm a la banjo player.
