    This reminds me of staying overnight at a friend’s house when I was a kid, and discovering a slightly sinister family habit, like cutting pizza with scissors or everyone drinking hot tea with dinner

      I cut my pizza with kitchen scissors. My knives aren’t sharp enough and I don’t have to transfer it to a cutting board. And drinking warm water with a meal aids in digestion :D but I don’t do that lol

        It’s that small moment when you realise other people do things differently.

        I remember being a bit horrified with the amount of handling that goes on with pizza+scissors. Guess I was considered one of the family…

        Nothing wrong with either, though I can’t speak for Italian pizza cutting techniques.

        It’s still pretty unusual to offer a 10yo a brew with his roast dinner. I’m sure my friends found it strange that we drank coffee before bed, but there you go.
