Disgusting or not?

Probably a double dipper too.

In our house, on second helpings, if the serving spoon so much as taps a dirty plate the entire field is contaminated and must be destroyed by fire.

Licking a spoon and putting it back into the serving dish would probably require tactical nukes.

Dip once, and end it!! (Seinfeld reference)

People absolutely bug the hell out of me doing stuff like that.

I have an older brother who really gets under my skin when he visits. He does the ol' Al Bundy thing digging in his pants when kicking back in front of the TV - THEN he proceeds to sit at my computer, oblivious to the funk he's spreading around my desk. ICK!

I served him and my older sister biscuits and gravy for breakfast the last time they came up for a stay, and half way through his plate he said he was full, and did anyone want what was left on his plate! NOOOO!!! miley-shocked003:

I've curbed back on invites to this sibling. He's really losing it in his old age. :nuts:

LOL at some of the comments

Just wondering about alternatives??

If he took his finger and and swabbed the food from the spoon to his mouth - would that have been better?

Dumped the spoonful in his hand and licked it off his hand???

What was the "proper" way?

If you have to ask... I probably don't want to attend a gathering at your home.

To answer your question: I presume a second clean spoon was available to replace the contaminated spoon.

The proper way would have been to NOT put the serving spoon in his mouth. He could have used a clean spoon. He contaminated the dish with his cooties.

Oh, I don't know, maybe ask the host? or someone who is eating it?

Hey, swapping spit with close family members is one thing. I will gladly eat leftovers off a family member's plate, but what that guy did was gross.

He should have taken a small bit out, put it on his plate, and used his own damned fork to taste it.
Was he raised by wolves?

Mythbusters tested the double dipping controversy. If I remember correctly, they found that Salsa had so much naturally present bacteria that it wasn't possible to show an increase resulting from double dipping.
