Chefs/Cooks who lick and taste food then......

put the tasting spoon back into the cooking pot! Stop it please. Use another spoon, who cares if it takes several tastings, wash the spoon if you haven't enough.
Filthy habit, I saw Jenny Powell do it on Celebrity MasterChef the other night.
I'm sure this is one of the reasons she was knocked out in that round.

I'm feeling like Howard Hughes now!

I do try my very best to keep everything clean, no cross contamination etc. I also try NOT to think just what does go on in the kitchens of restaurants.

It's just the spoon sucking thing.......

It's like spitting in someone's tea.
