A little anecdote came to me, which revolves around a cooking recipe: In a family there was an old recipe for the preparation of a fish dish. It has been passed down from generation to generation. The youngest offspring watched and helped and learned it as well. Part of the recipe was to remove the head and tail of the fish. No one knew why this had to be the case, but it had always been passed on as an important element of the recipe. At some point, a family member investigated and found out that in the past the ovens were much narrower and therefore the fish usually just did not fit in the oven! That was the only reason.
The oven is wide enough now
The oven is wide enough now
