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 think the point is, if it's supposed to be "for vegetarians" then reasonable attention should be paid to making the vegetarian food vegetarian. It's not as though it was an iota extra work to do it properly--it just takes an iota extra thought.

It's television, and it's quick television. I'd be surprised if dishing up the meatless version first wasn't scripted. It was likely just a slip-up in filming that nobody caught.
