All of the below were monitored and strictly rationed. So not outright prohibited, but definitely supervised in a way they weren't in friends' houses:
Heating
Biscuits
Any food between meals actually
All chocolate even at Easter and Christmas - yeah, thanks Steven, the year you ate a whole Selection Pack before Christmas Dinner and the year you threw up chocolate all over your bedroom on Easter Sunday caused that little restriction.
Expressly forbidden:
Boiled sweets
Milk bottles on the table or side - it had to be poured from the bottle into a jug
Eating or drinking in the street
Drinking from a can
Reading at the table, even breakfast or a casual sandwich lunch
Leaving any food on your plate
