my in laws prefer the sponges to be left in the sink wet, often floating in something

A Russian room mate got a big chunk of beef fat from the butcher, poked holes in it and put garlic cloves in them, sprinkled with salt and pepper and then put it in on a plate in the cupboard for a month. Then got it out and spread it on wonder bread.

Apparently this a very common thing called shpek.

Boil bratwurst.

My father had been repackaging a gigantic pack of raw chicken breasts into smaller freezer packs.

There was raw chicken juice all over the cutting board, the counter, everywhere basically.

He grabbed a cleaning cloth and wiped the counter down, then without rinsing it, proceeded to wash his face with it.

Yes, I grew up with a tremendous amount of food issues because of my father. He poisoned us nearly weekly. It was only in my later adulthood where I simply established a rule that I would not eat a single thing that he prepared.

This post was prompted by a memory of going grocery shopping with a friend. When we got to his place he proceeded to cut open the pack of chicken breasts, open the freezer (normal so far), and place the raw chicken breasts one by one on the freezer shelf with no bags or wrapping of any kind.

He explained to me that he used a window scraper to get them out when he was ready to thaw one and did so by just throwing the raw-dogged breasts in a sliding drawer at the bottom of the fridge. I never ate anything he cooked after that

I've seen my wife several times cut up raw chicken meat etc then go and start doing the vegetables on the same board no rinse or anything, every time she says jt was an absent minded mistake, but I'm sure she's trying to kill me

I saw a human person use Tide laundry detergent to wash a Thanksgiving turkey.

My ex was day drunk and wearing lingerie and power sharted right on my kitchen floor

Lotta people apparently thaw meat on the countertop overnight. My mothers husband and his kids only really stopped when I went all "hello I literally have a food manage safety cert, please stop making me cry with this meat thing"

Lots of petting animals then cutting up food and such from other friends. Animals are not allowed in the food making area when food is being made. Cats might think they can go where they want but they are not allowed and learn or get locked up in the room with food and cat box. They then have learned. One use to watch from the door way and prance in when I said "done now"

Opened their fridge and took a sip of ketchup straight from the bottle.

After cooking ground beef, rinsing it in a colander.

JFC. You strain the oil off it if there’s a lot but you don’t rinse it with water.

One of my ex girlfriends would wash her dishes without rinsing them. Ues soapy water to scrub them and just put them in the dish strainer.
