Does it bother you to eat food other people prepared?

Question

I'm having a hard time choking down food other people have prepared. I'm not talking about restaurant food. I'm talking about pot lucks, etc... The older I get the worse it gets.

Answer 1

yes it bothers me alot

Answer 2

I can understand that.  I have a few issues if I don't know who prepared it.  If it is someone I know well I don't mind sharing their germs!!!

Answer 3

Yes, I can only eat my sisters food.  Sometimes you can tell by dirty house that the food will be the same.  I know pets gross me out, especially if people let cats walk on the kitchen countertops.  You never know if people wash their hands and are clear on the meat and chicken bacteria thing.

Answer 4

well yes, you don't know what other peoples standards are. is there birds in their house,is other pets in their house,are they allowed on the counters? do they walk around the house shaking their dander in the air and then on your food? does the preparer have a nose picking problem? butt scratches? digging in their ears,wiping their nose on the dish towel? does the dog eat out of their dishes? did they drop the food on the floor and then pick it up and wash it off and place it on the platter so as they won't eat it?

Answer 5

Not really, no.

Answer 6

not at all

Answer 7

No, I can eat other people's food...

Answer 8

Not that I am trying to stereotype people, but there are certain people I know and would NEVER put anything that they prepared in my mouth.

Answer 9

Not at all, as long as the people are clean.
