First time I went out to eat with my in laws, my mother in law was eating from my plate with her fork!
Sorry, germaphobe Arch don't roll that way!
Boy, could I go on, and on about stuff like this!!

I'm that way also.
Heavens, don't let me catch anyone double dipping the salsa.
I usually ask for a bowl for myself because I like to salt it and that's my good excuse.
I get embarrassed easily.
I don't want anyone eating off my plate unless I'm through with it.
If you're still that hungry, go for it.

Unless you're alone, you DON'T double dip!
I once threw an entire pot of chili out in the pasture because my brother in law came in, stuck his whole face in the pot to smell it, then proceeded to use a spoon to take 4 tastes out of it.
I was called an ass, but my point was made!

I don't blame you.
My stomach is too weak to even see that.

Ever since I saw that video of a dog being strangled in a China fest I've stopped going to Chinese restaurants.


That is in the Guangxi Autonomous region....

An ethnic group known as the Zhuang...

They make up less than 0.02% of the Chinese population....

The ethnic koreans eat dog as well... They are fewer in number than the Zhuang....

Most Chinese won't eat dog...

We all eat from the same plates in China...

Just use our chopsticks to pick out what we want...

Took me a while to get used to that...

I ate dog on a lumber export ship I was invited on to. It was good. I thought I was eating baked boneless spare ribs. The pieces were floured salt and peppered and baked.

I lived close to Viet Nam refugees.
They put each course in the same bowl.
They ate the first thing then so on.
They were cute.
They'd come to your house and take their shoes off.
They'd look at your things and ask how much you give? Take me to Altuse, I buy.
We tried to explain high price and finance.
I worked with them.
When they got their first pay check, you should have heard them.
They were really going on in Vietnamese very loudly.
I told them, I don't really understand you, but I think your cussing about the withholding.

Van, I didn't know you talked like that.
She responded, I learn.
They told me their stories and my heart broke for them.

I tried it once by mistake...

Predators taste different...

Chinese are amazed that you can purchase a house and then lose it because you don't pay a yearly tax...

There is a one time property tax over here... Applicable at the purchase of the property..

Mine have gone through the roof.
