I don’t mean religious rules or cultural norms. I’m thinking about quirky individual rules you abide by that other people might not understand. I am not a vegetarian, but I can’t bear meat on a pizza. Any vegetable - even pineapple! My other strict rule is that you may have a condiment or butter on a sandwich but never both.

Chicken does not belong on a pizza.
No barbecued items on a pizza either.
Pizza needs to be cut in wedges and the crust is used to hold it while you eat your way toward it. Crust is eaten last therefore.
Salty and sweet foods together are heavenly. Especially fab is caramel popcorn with cheese popcorn.
Blue cheese dressing is the only alternative to mayo or vinegar for chips.

Blue cheese dressing is also good for dipping your pizza crusts in 😁

We're a crinkle cut beetroot and thick oatcakes with our stovies household.

All chocolate must be eaten nice and cold from the fridge.

All batter/breadcrumbs to be removed before eating the chicken/fish inside first and then enjoying just the coating afterwards.

Vinegar first on chips, then salt so it sticks.

Vinegar goes in gravy but only with pie and chips.

Edited

Yes!! I always remove breadcrumbs from fish fingers then eat the fish with salt and vinegar and then put salt and vinegar on the pile of breadcrumbs and eat that. The rest of the family think I'm such a weirdo for doing this. So excited to hear i am not the only one that does this! I also cant stand garlic on pizza, and lasagne must be served only with a salad.

Wow...I am exactly the same with pizza and lasagne as you too! We are food doppelgangers!
I also love smothering the fish in salt and vinegar - it tastes so dull without!

Recent digestive problems mean I can't eat cheese. I don't much like it anyway. I never realised before just how many dishes have unnecessary cheese in. Our local pub menu has nothing that isn't contaminated with cheese.

Does it not have any dishes suitable for vegans ?

Not a typo. Horse and polenta is a beautiful Italian dish. An egg on top is heaven.

Polenta is horrible

If you’re having a crisp sandwich it must have thick butter

Who on earth eats a crisp sandwich?
