I can't "get-on" with using gloves while cooking, anyway. I prefer to
wash my hands whenever it's necessary. For instance I always wash my
hands before starting prep. on anything, and I wash them in between
handling different foods. I also keep separate cutting boards for
vegetables and meat - and wash and dry those as soon as I am finished.
Probably not "totally hygienic" but it seems to work for me. As for
going to 'gatherings' where they serve food - I am willing to bet a lot
of us would 'gag' if we saw what goes on 'behind the scenes' - but "What
the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve" or maybe in this case the
stomach? Didn't you mention how the food is handled on some of those TV
cooking shows at some point, or was that somebody else?
