For the same reason not to share a toothbrush... one may have a communicable disease, can even catch the other's cold. >Very true, sf.

I used to love the buffet restaurants. I never did make it to the dessert bars though. Even in regular restaurants though, I never cared for dessert. As Ed, I think, said....I prefer a dessert later on long after eating a good meal. |

That's quite an exaggeration. Cat's can carry diseases etc. of course. But to say they're as filthy as dogs is just plain wrong. |

No thanks. That's dumb and far from the truth. Sometime let your dog lick your face, then try rubbing used toilet paper on your face. See which one you prefer. |

Agreed. Cats are far cleaner than dogs, thats how cats survive. Dogs have no survival skills, none. A six month old kitten dumped off at the side of the road here will easily survive in the woods, no dog of any age will last one night here. Actually a two month old kitten will survive because they are born with survival DNA, they already know to hunt food and know to avoid preditors. There are many feral cats here, not one feral dog. > Cats' tongues are rough.

They don't know where you've been. Lucy gets carried away when she starts licking my hand or arm, so much so I usually have to make her stop. |

I'm just not a dessert person. I do remember ordering two of them at a really nice Italian place in PA just because I wanted to see them. They were indeed masterpieces but they predated the cell phone with its camera. So I have no pics. There were four of us dining there and we did all take little bites. Both had ice cream and some pastries and sauces. Everything that place served was wonderful. SIL and I both wanted to see them, based on the description on the menu but we weren't fixing to eat them. It was well worth it just to see them as we finished our after dinner coffee. Other than that, I used to get a piece of pie once in a while if it came with my meal or if my meal didn't provide enough carbs for me. Used to be a place in CA that did not have enough carbs so I did get the apple pie and Angela and I split a slice but never finished it. I just don't love desserts. |

No thanks. That's dumb and far from the truth. Sometime let your dog lick your face, then try rubbing used toilet paper on your face. See which one you prefer. ============= NEITHER! Stick a knife in your eye or stick an ice pick in your ear...then tell me which one you prefer if you're dumb enough to do that. Cheri |

Americans are used to having their individual plate of food but for the rest of the world that's not the norm. When I eat with the family in restaurants, we're always eating off of each other's plates. Sharing a dessert with my son's girlfriend or daughter's boyfriend is not just sampling a sweet morsel, it means acceptance into the family - at least tentatively. It's a small step but certainly not trivial. |

We do like sweet things, but not with a meal and not very often either. Very occasionally we will have one and enjoy it but then don't want any more for a long time. I suppose it is lucky we both have similar tastes ![]() -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

It would seem kind of strange to pass the utensil back and forth. Or fight over it. Heh. It's my turn! You're hogging it! I don't know about everyone, but I know that when I go out with friends, if we talk about dessert, we either all order one or we agree to split one. If no one else is getting dessert, I'm sure not. But if there's a situation where one person didn't get any, and there's an extra spoon brought, I don't begrudge sharing. If the original letter writer finds themselves having this problem all the time, to the point where they write a letter about it, they should say If you want dessert, order yourself one, I'm not sharing mine, then they can can sit there and eat the whole thing while everyone else watches. I mean, chats away. nancy |

It didn't say the servers brought one extra spoon and they writer not everyone at the table ordering dessert. That implied she was referring to more than one. |

My cats are probably cleaner than I am at times ![]() Winnie (my dog) thankfully doesnt roll in poo or rotting carcases, but she does like to dig into her little nest under the house and get covered in dirt. Also, my cats don't eat the horrible stuff Winnie eats... |
