Family codes and rituals
Freddy 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."

Ours was always
"bread and dripping". Although we were never served this delightful sounding dish, it's what we were told to expect.
My neighbours, on the other hand, would always be told "shit and sugar", which sounded far less appealing. I never had dinner at their house.
