The only person I knew who did this was three years old. I give people tastes of my recipes -- but I use silverware. Wooden spoons, that sort of thing.
When I have my husband taste test something it's because I'm not sure how it's turning out and since he has to eat it with me I want to know what he thinks about it - this is because I'm not a very good cook and don't like it when a meal turns out bad.
I already know: his motives are option one. It's my own mixed feelings about this. Seven years of huh? what? noodles dangling in my face. For me, it's all of the above.
I often ask people to taste what I'm cooking and I'm not irritating, disgusting, submissive or insecure. I like to cook and I like sharing that pleasure. Of course, that's just me.
Well, then pick 'Awww, how sweet' on the bloody quiz.
I think it's sweet and charming. I also think it's gross. I also think encouraging him to cook is a Good Thing. I also think it's very well-meaning. I also think it's a little annoying and inconvenient. I also would prefer he use utensils, or a wooden spoon. But all that's irrelevant. It's just a fun quiz, and he sat here and read it while I posted it.
LOL! It was sensual the first year, sweet the second... after seven years...
He does many sexy and sweet things. For example, at the moment I am ytping with one hand because he is fast asleep on my arm, breathing as soft as a kitten. This I never question. :)
Five and a half years after kicking me out of the kitchen, my husband still does the cooking. An offering of what's being prepared is common. Sometimes it's with a utensil, other times by fingers, other times... *sigh* in the palm of his hand.
And while there is a certain appeal to the barehanded method, I do generally prefer a utensiled sample. *However*, I'm not about to make any kind of disparaging remark about his cooking, results or methods. I don't want that job back, thank you.
You know, my cats always did this... leaving a dead rat or two on the doorstep. Although cats aren't making offerings, they're trying to teach you to hunt as you're clearly deficient in that area.
I used to have a boyfriend who would insist he'd only eat if I tried it first, and would often take the sample right out of my mouth with his once I declared it good.
Strangest thing we ever shared was pepsi and m&m's, at the same time.
Guess who got all the m&m's and who got nothing? *pout*

Date: 2004-01-20 09:51 am (UTC)Yes, I'd eat them. He loved me, I know.
Yes, my desire to never have children was confirmed and underlined.
Every time he does this I think of Chodren, and I'm put completely off my feed.

*Laughter*

And you *do* know where those hands have been. ;-)
