Things you assumed were normal

[meredithgrey1]

DH bought some weetabix to have for breakfast a few days ago and I was amazed to see him preparing it by just pouring cold milk on and then eating it like that! I can't eat weetabix now but when I was little my mum would pour the milk on, then microwave it, then mash the biscuits in to create something similar to porridge. I assumed at the time that this was the only way to eat weetabix but my husband was appalled at the very idea and after a quick google it does seem like I'm very much in the minority. So it got me thinking, what are some things that you thought were normal, but then you realised that you/your family were the only one(s) doing it like that?

I can make the ear rumble and shake my eyeballs but weirdly not at the same time.
A vegetable stock cube makes 3 mugs of a lovely hot drink (leave the stock cube in and keep refillling it! Number 2 cup is the best)
Yorkshire pudding with raspberry vinegar is yummy.
I make garlic bread and have it with beans instead of normal toast. Your farts will be horrific but your taste buds will dance.
Butter rolled in sugar for a sore throat.
Sliced banana, white bread and set honey sandwiches, mmm!
Seriously strong cheese spread makes a lasagne fabulous.
Hot ribena is equally as vile as cold!
Horlicks tablets are gorgeous!
I am going to try the chocolate button and banana toasties on my DC tomorrow...

UGH that's revolting - eating the apple core!!

Pyclets - (most people call them crumpets). Mum did all the cooking when I was growning up at home and her family always steamed pyclets, until one day my Dad said that in his family they toasted them. I've never eaten steamed pyclet since. (Does anyone else call them Pyclets btw? - Mum's family were Derbyshire - her mum and Yorkshire - her Dad - would love to know)

I spell it pikelets, and I think they're a thinner version of crumpets; more the thickness of drop scones.

Yep Pikelet (English) but Pyclet (Welsh) thin crumpet like things extraordinarily yummy warm with butter and perhaps jam or jam and butter and cream and and ...

You're dribbling dear....

I rtft looking for someone who likes banana on their pizza. Alas it would seem my family have duped me as clearly all the cool kids were not doing it. I wasn’t a fruit eater as a child so my mum always put banana on a marguerita pizza before cooking. It’s lush!

Buttered Weetabix is nice - well I think it is.

Buttered weetabix with jam on top is nice. Or crushed and mixed with Nutella for SlimmingWorld Ferrerro rocher Only way I can eat them

I thought this thread seemed familiar...

Not always, ours comes from an ancient tank in the roof which is probably full of limescale so we don't drink it
