After a discussion about hygienic judgments in different cultures,
I can’t help but putting some of them online.
Please copy this list in a comment and add your opinion. Is it hygienic, not hygienic, or something else?
• Not washing mushrooms that come out of a plastic supermarket box
• Not washing rice that comes out of a supermarket box
• Using one knife to put spreads from different jars on your sandwich
• Using one spoon to eat out of different jars
• Leaving food on the table in a pan without a cover, so you can eat them the next day
• Leaving figs, nuts and chocolates on the table in a bowl so you can eat them next week
With a special question for those people who ever visited India:
• What’s more hygienic: Cleaning your ass with toilet paper, or with a bowl of water?
Bon appetit!
