Capitalism has taken it to an extreme, but I'm thinking of a communal, ritual kind of practice of preparing food together every day, which I think ran into conflict with peasants' need to consistently work the fields. I'm not aware of any feudal cultures where everyone's food was regularly prepared communally, but I'm happy to be corrected!
