OMG TV moment

[figmo]

My TV turned on to "Sara's Secrets" on the Food Network. She was making a meal that was supposed to be for "both vegetarians and carnivores." One of the items she made was two versions of a savory strada. When she went to plate it, she first stuck her spatula in the sausage-laden strada, then, without cleaning the spatula, stuck it into the vegetarian strada.

I blurted out "Oh my gawd!" so loudly I awoke Warren, who was sound asleep two rooms down with the door closed.

For those of you who aren't chefs, if you're feeding a vegetarian, that's like dipping your spatula in poison before serving your guests.

I'll bet that their email box was bombed this morning. That's the one thing I struggle with when cooking for different needs at home, as we aren't vegan, allergic, whatever. I always ask what's acceptable for them when co-mingling on the grill and will high-temp scorch the grill before "changing up" the meats/non-meats/etc if needed.

for me, grills are usually okay, i just give a little scrape or something before i plop down my tofu dogs or burgers. i usually watch over them so no one accidently drops a big thing of half-done meat on them while they're cooking.
