Touch Nicole’s nachos the wrong way and she’ll end you…
Last weekend, during Nicole’s ski trip, she had dinner with a group of friends and a few of their friends. They ordered nachos that the whole table was going to share. When the nachos got to the table everyone started digging in but there was one person that Nicole was completely grossed out by and very upset at the way they were eating.
Instead of working his way in from the outside, this guy was getting his hand up all up in the nachos, digging his hand in there to make sure he got as much on each nacho chip as possible. Nicole glared at him the entire time. There are rules when it comes to sharing food and he was NOT following them.
Things like not double dipping, not licking your fingers and then using those fingers to get your next bite, letting everyone get a few bites in before you devour the whole plate, etc. When have you encountered someone who did not understand the rules to sharing food? What rules do you follow when it comes to sharing food?

I can’t share with others in a free for all plate. Some people just have really bad manners. I always ask for some small plates. That way nobody is touching what I might have. I set some aside then it’s up to everybody else weather they eat together or grab a plate!
When you have children food sharing rules go out the window. However, we DO try to stick with the no double dipping rule! When it comes to my food….no one is allowed to touch it unless invited!
thats why i dont share food…if you have rules not everyone else may know of them..you would think that they would jsut get it but some dont…I was raised chewing with your mouth closed and yet people dont understand why they should have too…order your own food if you have problems with others and thier etiquette..but you cant get mad at how people are raised cause I doubt that your perfect in other ways..sorry but true
I only share foods with people I am close with cause seriously I don’t know where your hands have been or what they touched last YUK!!!! no thanks
I’ll share a plate with my children and husband, but that’s it. The double-dipping; not knowing where someone’s hands have been, etc. just gross me out.
Another pet peeve to me is when someone is so anxious to hork down their food, that they start breathing heavy, and practically snorting because their mouth is so full they can’t take in any air. Ugh – it’s literally like watching and hearing a friggin pig eat.
Ok look of course there are rules when sharing food with yøur friends, im all set with eating after someone just doubled dip i dont think i wanna know that whatever was in his or her mouth is not all over the chips, how about the reach over, well there ya go let me just get right in there after someone just drop off a few strans of armpit hair . ” Yummy” all in all if its not your relationship partner then have some manners for other people..
I think that everyone needs a separate plate and let the server dole out the dish! With all th germs that go around, I would not touch something someone else’s hands were all up in. Some people don’t even wash their hands after using the restroom, you say eeeewwww, but it’s true!
You go Nicole!
Nicole you rock! You are absolutely right! I don’t share food or eat at buffets, I’m a nurse. Need I sa more.
I agree with everyone above, I don’t want to share food with anyone, but I would with Nicole. P.S. Nicole watch the movie “Old Dogs”, very funny. Bill in FLA.
Whenever I share food like nachos with my friends, the server always hands us smaller plates. We would dish up some of the salsa or sour cream out of the small dipping dishes onto our plates. From there we would dig into our own little plate. Its just easy that way!
I dont mind sharing my food but only with people that are close.
p.s. Dont listen to Bill. “Old Dogs” was a horrible move. In my opinion anyway.
Ok everytime me and my chick friend goes to dinner. We always split a desert together..two forks of course! The only time we dont split one is if one of us has a cold. Or was resently sick! I share food all the time with my 2 little boys. But before i do i make sure there hands are washed before touching the food. ( although it is tough to remember that all the time). I try to teach them how not to double dip and lick there fingers when sharing food. Maybe u need to teach ur friend some hygeine manners! Maybe teach him not to be a hog as well! Now u know when u go out with that friend again. Get ur own little plate and grab some before they do.
I to feel the same way about sharing food with people I don’t know. they are defnetly rules of etiquette that should be followed so you are not being offensive to your new acquaintances. If it’s family or close friends it’s different. You know them and their nasty little habits which you overlook because after all you love them!
That was totally gross. I would not want to eat after this person, who has basically dove into the food. YUCK.
