My mum thinks French toast is just bread soaked in egg and sticks everything in the oven at 200°C and I mean everything

The list could go on and on but that would turn this post into a text wall

Much the same. My parents are shocked that I now eat medium rare steak and don’t instantly die.

Also, turns out meat tastes far better with salt and pepper, to accompaniments my parents didn’t believe in.

Wow I've heard about no spice households, but never thought it would include salt and pepper! You must have loved going to friends' ~~horses~~ houses (lol funny typo) for dinner lol

Rarely got invited, but I loved restaurants. My mother also wondered why I developed an interest in cooking at a young age, not realizing it’s because I wanted something that tastes good.
