Are there things that you and your family do that others don't or may think odd.
One for me is mint sauce.
When I was young we used to have lamb every week for sunday dinner. We also had mint growing in the garden.
Lamb & mint sauce - classic combo!
But since then what every roast we have be it beef, pork, chicken or turkey the mint sauce is always slathered over - with added malt vinegar!

It took me a decade to get Mrs. B off having mint sauce with every roast. Used to drive me mad. Now she doesn't even have it with lamb.
She still puts malt vinegar on lasagne which i think is odd, but i pick my battles.
oops sorry I didn't realise it was in the food and drink forum
Did we wake you up
My OH likes mint sauce on toast!...he also puts the stuff on every meat he eats.
I do the mint sauce with every roast thing too, my family think it's weird.
I totally understand this. I have to have bread with Spag Bol or Chilli. (Although, saying that, any bread at all will do, I've just got to have some).
It was at primary school that I found out raw mushrooms + mayonnaise was not a common sandwich filling.
That the meal we'd always known as "chips and egg" was in fact known more widely as "egg and chips". Still sounds weird now.
It was delicious.
Its called Chips and Egg in Shirley Valentine. because of that, i would always call it chips and egg
Cheese and lemon juice on pancakes, as I think I've mentioned before.
And I used to eat Readybrek (do they still make that?) without milk (i.e. completely dry) but at some point I stopped doing that.
Mum always served slices of baguette with chilli con carne or spag bol. I never really questioned it until now!
Did we live in the same house? We always did that on Sundays too.:-)
Ours too- I thought it was a northern thing
Not to Howard's Way though- no tv allowed when eating!
That was part of it though. In the front room in front of the telly. Every other meal during the week was at the dining table in the kitchen. So to be allowed to eat down from the table was great. And with the TV on! Woohoo.
