[Sca-cooks] Re: Safety (now catering gloves)

[Sue Clemenger]

Must be one of those YMMV things, because I don't think I've *ever* seen
anyone wear gloves in an SCA kitchen, and I've been doing it for 15
years.  AFAIK, only one guy ever got sick (cross-contamination from a
dish someone else prepared ahead of time).
