My Handbag Is Ruined!

[mrs_overall]

Yesterday I visited an acquaintance who is an excellent baker and she offered me a slice of a freshly made, gorgeous looking gateau. She cut a huge slice and I said it was too much for me so she said she would have that piece and cut me a smaller slice. She then licked the knife clean before cutting me a slice. There was no way on earth I could eat it. Luckily there was a knock at the door and when she went to answer it I scooped the gateau into my handbag.
Have you any idea how far a squidgy piece of gateau spreads inside a handbag?
Would you have eaten it? (the cake, not the handbag lol)

where have you been, mrso. i've been worried about you.
and no, i wouldn't have ate it.

[RATTER15]

Oh my god no, that is truly disgusting!!! The hounds would have loved it though, they aren't quite so fussy.

[pips1]

Why do people do this!?! On Come Dine With Me they taste the food they are cooking and Dave Lamb (the excellent narrator) always screams "don't put the spoon back in" and they always do!

[Ratty2E]

I wonder what she does while she's making the cakes? Hmmm, I think I'd pass.

[Peaspeculiars]

Ewwgh, not on your nelly! Was there not a pot plant big enough to stash it in?

Get a dog to clean your handbag - every last crumb will be removed.
Ok you may have to wait a few days to get your keys and phone back and there may be a bit of saliva to deal with but that will be better than the handbag full of cake....probably

I wouldn't have eaten it and I would have said something like, 'I don't want that now you've licked the knife.'
If no one says anything, she'll keep doing it.

[mrs_overall]

To be fair, I have never seen her do it before....but as you say, it makes me wonder what she does when baking.....

Urgh! Dog drool in my bag...no way!

[ummmm]

I would have smacked her hand with a wooden spoon!!

I wouldn't have eaten it but I would have told her why.

[nelliebee]

Introduce her to answerbank and she may well take heed from the comments posted !!

Handbags are a good thing to spend £200 on Mrs O

[mrs_overall]

ric.ror - are you mad? Remember, I am from Yorkshire!

[marval]

I would not have eaten the cake, it is funny how suddenly an appetite disappears.

[HansUrbancka]

Perhaps Mrs Knifelicker is able to make you a handbag. :-)

[Ric.ror]

So am I Mrs O - we can share

[mccfluff]

if anyone has decided that a large slice of cake was to much for me, i'd of been far too busy being upset over that... (and cake snatching) to notice the knife licking incident

[woofgang]

thats what you get for not taking the big slice haha. but no i wouldn't have eaten it and yes i do wonder what she does when she cooks.

[kendra20]

no way would I have eaten it. I would have just left it on the plate and said I had to hurry as I had an appointment

[2sp_]

Bleugh!!!

I would have tried to eat round the edge that had been touched with the slevery knife.

Licking knives is a pet hate of mine at the best of times, but to then go and ruin a perfectly good bit of gateau is just wrong!

I'd have eaten it, does your friend have rabies or something?
