People who lick their fingers
35 Answers
On my way home this evening, I called in to a local kebab shop to order some food to take home. The man behind the counter who served me licked his finger before doing everything, including picking up the paper in which to wrap my food, the plastic bag to put it in etc.
When I complained, he became very abusive, eventually telling me to f** off out of the shop.
Why on earth do people do this? Why is it necessary for people to put their saliva on their fingers before picking things up? Am I being unreasonable in reporting the kebab shop to the Food Standards Agency...?

As as been said what you dont see probably hasn't done you any harm
You are repulsed by his actions , because you saw him do it - if you hadn't you'd be non the wiser .
A former work colleague never washed his hands when he went to the toilet - whether he done a number one or two .
I would watch make tea for people , handling the tea bags etc .
Needless to say i would have politely declined if he had offered to make me a cup .

I agree ignorance is bliss.I do wonder though,why in a chippie if you order a fried rice dish,for example,it is always prepared behind closed doors and popped through the little hatch.
I have been wanting to make my own chicken fried rice that taste just like the chippie does,and despite many tries,it always lacks that certain something.
Any ideas(apart from MSG)
One thought was do they wash/clean the wok between orders or is that taste an accumulation of many yummy dishes,I dont mean a seasoned wok,just a well used one.

Just found this on the web:
''you can't recreate authentic egg fried rice in your home, you don't have the heat to do it, simple as that. But i'll tell you how to do it anyway and you should be able to get ok-ish rice.
Wash the rice a little to remove some of the starch. Boil it.
Put in a bowl or something overnight and cover with paper, do not refrigerate! the rice must be kept absolutely dry.
Now with your cold, dry rice: heat your wok with a generous amount of vegetable oil.
add your egg (pre-whisked), fry till it's cooked-ish then break up a little. Add your rice and mix it up with your egg.
Season with salt and !!MSG!! (if you eat chinese a lot chances are you aren't allergic to it etc. since pretty much everywhere uses it).
Add a little soy sauce to the middle of the rice then mix up till it spreads to all the rice.
Voila!
(btw, yes i'm chinese, yes i work in a takeaway)''
