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.

In fact, I was thinking that two, which is why I consider the "poison" comparison to be overblown. Getting a small amount of mushrooms into your food means major trouble; a trace amount of meat in a vegetarian's food isn't going to do anything.

Was it discourteous to use the same spatula? Yes. Was it over-the-top, screaming AAARGGGHHH, I've been poisoned? That's silly.
