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.

Did you even read as far as: "I could go off on a rant about how vegetarian choices are better for your health & the overall health of the planet but that's entirely counter to the point that Lynn was originally making. That point is courtesy. "?

I'm not telling you what to eat. That's not my choice. Why do people think that I am doing so when I espouse an alternative dining-style?

Maybe the real problem is not one of courtesy, but rather one of expectations.
