I would say that it is odd and unacceptable behaviour for a child. I
have to admit that there were s couple occasions when my brothers and I
threw food at each other. We were scolded for it. I sure as hell would
never even have thought of throwing food at an adult. I would not throw
it at adult family member and most certainly not at a friend of my mother.

Parents are indeed tasked with the responsibility to ensure their kids
do not do thinks like that. Some people tolerate it... like Jill's
(former) friend.
