How peculiar. I dislike other people's fingers on my noodle(s). :)

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.

Will you be asking WG why he does this?

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.

Sharing the experience?

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.

One question though, do you generally do this by hand? *dangles noodles in Isolde's face, a la kitten toy.*

Hmm, depends on the texture really. Pasta, sure, soup, not so much - although it depends on the person even then.

The oily green bean is my personal favourite. I used to know a runny-nosed 3-year-old that would hand me grubby green beans across the table.

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.

Okay, but I still think it's rather charming.

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.

Ha! See but I think "sweet" and "charming"/sharing are very different. But fine fine, far be it from me to be difficult, of course...

*Checks with [livejournal.com profile] wilderness_guru*

He'll accept 'charming' and 'sharing' as write-in votes. In fact he tells me, "Un-huh. See?"

*Laughter*

...and after I'd conformed neatly and ticked the "sweet" box after all.

yes, pasta I hand to him

You should have had an option for 'Other', with text box *eg*. Too late now.

I think it's sexy, but then, he's not interrupting *me*.

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

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. :)

I.

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.

Really? Oh, thank goodness.

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*
