Do you double dip?

[random_thought]

I made a big serving of sloppy joe so I could have extra leftovers for lunch this week.

I look into the kitchen and the hubby is freaking double dipping potato chips into the sloppy joes!!!!

I am totally bummed that now I don't even want to eat the stuff, I make a really good sloppy joe

To be honest? In the case of sharing with my husband I wouldn't even bat an eyelash at this. When I'm out with friends I won't double dip out of courtesy to them but it honestly wouldn't bother me if they did it. Of course I'm also perfectly fine with sharing straws and the like...

I put some in a separate bowl for me so I can double and triple dip to my hearts content.

It wouldn't bother me if it was just my husband. I mean we swap...lots of stuff :-O

More importantly, I'd love your recipe!

 

[LAJennifer]

Never! That is one of my "things". I also do not drink after people.

Yup! Make something separate for yourself if you dislike even your hubby double dipping into what you've made, and MARK that shiz!

 

[nottospec]

Can I ask.... What is sloppy Joe?
Don't have that in Australia !

I don't care if hubby double dips anyway

 

[hippi_pixi]

have you never kissed your husband? isn't it the same thing?

I like double dipping but won't do it in public. with friends i will if they are and won't if they arn't. with the husband he could lick it and I'd still eat it. Hell he likes to have my chicken bones when I'm done with them cos i don't eat the cartilage and he does but thats a whole other level of gross

 

[missy]

No I do not double dip. Something about that grosses me out. I love kissing my dh but it's just something about double dipping.
And I hate drinking from someone else's glass. No thanks. Not that thirsty.

I guess I am just not good at sharing.

If I make a tub of something for sharing at work, then I do not allow double-dipping at all.

However, if it is for sharing with my gentleman friend only and at home, then it would not bother me.

Um, we're married, so we share WAY more intimate things than that.
How odd that someone would feel that way about double-dipping with their SO…isn't it sort of the same as sharing a kiss?

That is what I explained to DH when he sat in a restaurant and let some OTHER woman feed him bites off of her plate
(I was sitting right there so it wasn't like she thought anything would happen, it was just that she had something different than either of us and thought he'd like to try -- we don't see her anymore and DH now gets that this is NOT just a "friend" sort of thing to do )

If it is just DH and me, I don't mind double dipping. He'll do it and so do I.
If it is for others to share, NO double dipping tolerated. Not even if it is just us and "A" at home. I'll dish into separate little bowls and refill as needed so people can dip all they want into their own bowl.

Oh -- the exception to being okay with DH & me double dipping is some crumbly stuff. If it is going to break off and make a mess, I'll do individual bowls on a plate to catch crumbs. Learned the hard way that DH will lean over the bowl while eating crumbly stuff and THAT is just too far

this. Lol!

My recipe isn't too crazy and I have no measurements because I do it by taste.

It's caramelized ground beef with ketchup, mustard, onion powder, pepper and salt.

I know some people don't like their meat sweet but we do so we love it

 

[chrono]

Our family shares food and drink so nobody blinks an eyelid at double dipping. We do not double dip when there are guests or friends present.

 

[Maisie]

No double dipping here. I'm a bit scared of germs

 

[lambskin]

Sloppy Joe's vary by each chef and tradition. basically you brown ground beef with diced onions, salt and pepper. You then add ketchup, chili sauce (some use barbeque sauce), a dash of dry mustard and if you like spicey some sort of hot sauce. It forms a thick scoopable meat sauce (same consistency as a thick chili) that is then put onto a hamburger bun. it is called sloppy because the loose meat falls outside of the bun when you eat it- as it should be piled high. it as a favorite of my kids.

Sounds yummy! A Sloppy Joe here (in OZ) is usually a term for a kind of casual jumper http://www.bonds.com.au/womens/clothing/sloppy-joe-pullovers.html

As to the double dip - with hubby? No problem. With complete strangers - yeah not cool.

With my husband, i usually don't mind unless its something where he is sticking his spoon in his mouth , cleaning it off with his saliva and then reinserting it into the dish.

But dip type of stuff doesn't bother me. I don't mind sharing drinks with him either. Unless its a beer ir water bottle and he puts the whole bottle opening in his mouth.

When out with friends, there are some things that can't be helped. Like, we like macaroni and grill and they serve a huge delicious bread with seasoned olive oil. You can't really scoop out the olive oil onto your plate. You really need to break off a piece and dip it in.
It's delicious and so much fun.

I truly believe not taking sips of others' drinks, and refraining from the double dip is the reason I am 40 years old and I don't have herpes.

Ehhhh? Guess I'm just an anomaly to be and STD-free double-dipper?

I mentioned this thread to DH (as I was cooking sloppy joe for dinner ) and he thought that double dipping if it is just you and your husband/wife is no big deal.

He also said "It isn't like you have any bacteria in your body that you haven't already shared anyway"

From the living room: "EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!"
("A" was in there doing homework)

DH elaborated: "Nothing gross. But you know, if one has bacteria in their mouth it isn't like their husband/wife doesn't already have it. I mean married people (interrupted frantically from living room) "

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!"
"I know that but I don't want to know that!!!"


Apparently "A" is firmly in the NO double-dipping side of things

MMMM, Sloppy Joe's. They are not exactly what you would call Haute Cuisine. They are the kind of things you can throw together and feed kids which they seem to love. It's basic American comfort food. Some of us bigger kids can now relive our youth with all the gastro-pubs popping up offering kicked up versions on classic comfort food.

This is my only sticking point with dh. I don't mind if the spoon is handed back / reinserted clean. But say i gave DH a spoon full of sloppy joe ( sticking to the theme) he would hand back the spoon half smeared with salivary meat. Gross. At least lick it clean

I laughed at this! I yell at DH if he doesn't lick his spoon/fork *completely* clean before re-inserting it into something I'm eating

There are two kinds of HSV - oral herpes is rarely an STD. It is far more likely you are first infected by your own mother.

Even as a microbiologist, and knowing all the creepy crawlies that are in your mouths, I am not fussed about double dipping with people I know. I refrain from doing it because I know it bothers a good number of others, but unless you're a frank stranger, I don't mind you double dipping or drinking from my glass. At this point, I am relatively confident that I am naturally immune to HSV. Both parents have cold sores, brother gets them, DH gets them - and I know I've shared glasses and kisses while he's contagious. Still not one sore in 30 years - hence my lackadaisical approach to oral cooties.

And I laughed at both of these, I love the different perspectives! How funny !!!
