  • I don't really like any foods that people have 'breathed' on, if you know what I mean. That includes salad buffet at Pizza Hut, non-wrapped bakery products, those cubes of cheese in the supermarket etc. I just have a real thing about it :o. Chocolate fountains are definitely ick, unless it's a mini one at home and only family eating from it!

    _pale_ I know what you mean and the more I think about it the more I'm thinking _pale_!

    And I'm now thinking of the unwrapped mints/sweets in a bowl at restaurants and other peoples fingers _pale__pale__pale_

    PS: does anyone else sanitise their hands immediately after putting the shopping trolley back, or is that just me?! :o

  • Millie's Mum - Katie loves her cups of tea, we get kids teabags from Tesco that are decaff and are vanilla flavoured - she loves them, but DH and I never get a full cup of tea when she is around as she likes to help herself once it's cool enough. She has her own tea cup.

    Mental note of kiddy teabags xxx

    Why are chocolate fountains so ming? Surely people don't bite into the strawberry then coat it in choc, do they? _pale_

    LOL - I once saw a kid stick his tongue in one :eek: and there are always kids with their fingers in them (holding onto a marshmallow!!) Even if someone has just been manhandling their strawberry onto a stick then putting it under the choc then it is too much for me!

    I am not a big choc eater though so I guess if you liked choc then the want might outweigh the urgh I guess :confused:


    PLUS - the choc is mixed with up to 50% sunflower oil _pale_ now would you dip your strawberry in THAT :eek:


    LOL - SM I have seen the places with bowls with tons of fingers in too!! 'Tis a pet hate of mine because it is so minging so I tend to end up watching it going 'urgh' :rotfl:

    GISI - that's the gist of it for me, too. IMO (and I'm likely totally misguided in feeling this way) dairy is "crueller" than the meat industry, but that might just be the result of the types of propoganda material I've read. I'm a hypocrit too as I love my cheese, etc.

    but also there's the the evolutionary aspect of our bodies not being designed to digest animal milk...anyway, moving on as I'm going to bed. Just was interested if anyone else had similar leanings! ;)

    Re. the bolognese - doesn't the slow cooker make the mince go all mushy? I like my mince chunky, that's why i don't like them bags of frozen stuff in farmfoods etc
