[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one grossed out by block party food, and it's sitting outside in the sun for hours with tons of people touching it? I just open a drink and sip from that while chatting for an hour, then leave. I don't eat. [/quote]

Ha! I only eat what I bring and that’s it. Unless I’m going to a sit down dinner or lunch and or a catered/restaurant meal, I’m pretty much doing “stage eating” and putting a few things on my plate, pushing the food around then into the trash it goes. My expectation is never to have a full meal at office parties, block parties, birthday parties and most especially block parties.

I recognize I have food hang ups and yes, I will eat at restaurants.

Fun fact: I work for the health department.[/quote]

Then you are:
1) wasteful; and 
2) irrational.

If you are the one actually inspecting restaurants... you know the drill and you know that they are often worse than people's homes.  But you probably aren't the one inspecting restaurants.

It's funny because between my stint in graduate school for public health AND my international travel, I am more casual about all food safety rules except around shellfish.  I do NOT eat raw shellfish after taking a parasitology class.  So, I would skip the raw oysters at a summer gathering, but would be happy with my deviled egg.[/quote]
