Sharing food

aisling0800

How comfortable are you with sharing food or utensils with friends/strangers? Have a female roomate who ordered a pizza from Dominos but they mixed the order and she didn't want to eat it as it had pork on it. Tried eating it but the smell made her nauseous and told me she could eat the remained. I ate everything including the eaten slices. She looked a bit horrified.

Nothing wrong it really so long as the person doesn't have an infection.

Is your nickname "The dustbin" by any chance?

If you’re brave enough to do kissing with tongues, then anything goes.

Where do you think ham comes from? Or pepperoni? The pepperoni tree?

gross 🤢

I absolutely love preparing and eating food. One of my guilty pleasures in food is "dips". Freshly made dips of all kinds. I just love them and the array of displays and flavors you can create.

Dips are quite a communal and sharing food when you think about it - especially if people double dip.

So after that it is hard to get grossed out by most forms of food sharing including sharing a pizza. Short of chewing something and spitting it out for someone else to finish that is :)

To be fair, most of the repulsion is psychological. Assuming the person you're sharing food with has no bacterial/viral infection issues (bar COVID-19), there's little risk.

I have no doubt that the same people grossed out by this wouldn't have an issue getting wasted at Coppers and putting their tongue down a strangers throat or down somewhere else ;).

It's bad manners but that's about it. Sitting around a table with six plus people, breathing in their exhaled lung vapor, surely that's more disgusting then double dipping? It's all in the perception.

I find it interesting that people are willing to (excuse the vulgarity) lick and suck each others bodies when aroused but are repulsed by eating from the same spoon as their partner.

"are repulsed by eating from the same spoon as their partner"

where did the above come up in this thread?

regardless... it doesn't matter..

Time and a place for everything..

Have you ever heard of the word "Etiquette"? Etiquette is defined as good behaviour which distinguishes human beings from animals.

I think "animal" is important here!!

My missus knows if she reaches over to my plate to take food then she'll probably end up with a fork lodged in her hand

I think a distinction needs to be made. Would I have an issue eating from the fork or spoon of someone I'm in a relationship with (considering all the other activities one gets up to in a relationship)? No. Would I have an issue eating from the fork or spoon of someone I'm not in a relationship with? Yes.

If you know the person well they are in good health, they are in good health there's no risk involved. I would not use the fork or spoon of a friend. Of course if its a boyfriend or girlfriend what's the big deal you probably kiss them every day

”I ate everything including the eaten slices”
