Hmmmm....never thought of that. I think I'll now start planning to have our
Barony purchase serving spoons as we see them on sale. Thanks for the idea!

This is one of my biggest pet peeves about feasts (besides calling a
"course" a "remove"!). If I were to take your piece of meat off
your plate and lick the spices off it, I assume you would be angry
and toss it out. However, folk dip the spoon they ate from (with
saliva coating) and dip it into the rice/pasta/what-have-you and
their fellow diners think nothing of it. Who knows what someone is
incubating? I usually bring several additional spoons with me, but
this is only a bandaid approach to a potential health problem.
