*cough* Only with fondue, sorry.

I have never ever ever eaten fondue.

i honestly believe you. 'sall right. maybe next time theyll let you have a bite, instead.

Just don't let it bite you back

I'm tempted to say "fondue bites", but that would be lying... I love fondue... in all its forms.

Mmm, strawberries with chocolate!

Have you noticed that all our threads have been converging to talking about food?

Ugh. You don't find it in the least revolting? Mixing spit in food that you eventually redip in? With other people? I don't know why that bothers me so much. Direct sharing of saliva doesn't bother me but it ruins the food.

Hmm, I'm not bothered sharing food with people. Fondue eeventually is kind of gross Ig uess but I never thought f it that way. Darn it, I'll nver think of fpndue the same way thanks toy ou!!! I'll be liuke 95 and in sa nursing home and I'll be screaming "Damn that Stacy, now I can never eat fondue again!!!'

Well, we do it slightly more hygienically in Norway. We dip it, and then remove it from the fondue spit, before we eat it. that way, no saliva gets into the fondue...

Glad to hear I'm good for something. I do try my best.

Now, that I could handle, but the constant mixing of saliva into the pot makes me nauseous. Guess it's an American thing, the double dipping.

I never even thought of people doing something like that... I can understand how it would make you nauseous.

Yeah. I also thought fondue tended to be served in little bites so the double dipping thing didn't get to be a problem.

I don't know that you can completely avoid it unless you decide not to have anything to do with the stuff. Ick.

Oh, it's possible to avoid, allright. Just remove the food from the spit with something or other reserved exclusively for that purpose.

Oh, so parties should have special "no spitting" pots for their fondue!

*shudder* This is really gross.

This is why I haven't commented since 18 posts ago.

Hey, at least you're uncorrupted and can say you've never actually *gulp* ingested the rot.

nah I was corrupted long ago.

but not by fondue.
