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."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

I can relate to this...
Thankfully my outlaws are not quite as bad.
Now I love my Christmas dinner, I get roast turkey once a year, with all the trimmings.
But one year we went round for Christmas dinner, MIL did...
...lamb! Fucking lamb! For Christmas dinner!! I was that far from stomping out! (was nice lamb, but I have lamb loads)
