Well Kev -
coming from an very strict Italian family - I've seen the "rulers" (men of the family) throw things off the table if they didn't like it or approve of it -
thank heaven mom was tough - eat what you want and don't make a sound about what others are eating - or you won't get fed - period!
my great uncles were &#^@#'s at the table - and they never shut up - cripe they would flap their jaws till they died - even gluing their mouth shut in the coffin didn't help if you ask me! put a bottle of ketchup on the table and it went flying!
my dad was not like that - mom would have beat the tar out of him
we got to eat many foods - not just our traditional family meals - that's the way it should be
