What do you think of buffets?

HI, Julia!! So good to see you here. I don't like buffets, and feel the same way you do. All of those hands touching all of the serving utensils...nope, nope. Like you, I love serving buffet style at home for family, etc. You are also correct in that buffets do attract those that will eat themselves sick.

@MarieCoyle Really great to see you again also. I have seen people ill (who really should be home and not out infecting others) using buffets. I won't even eat birthday cake if a slice were not cut and a candle put on it on a separate plate for the one celebrating, to blow their candle out. Nobody wants anything to eat after someone has breathed on it do they? Our son and his wife have taught the girls that also, so when they are out they do not take cake if the candles were blown out on it. When you think about it, it really is a disgusting tradition. And as far as the utensils go, how many people drag a utensil through juices of other foods on their plate, that pick it up and then if someone has a food intolerance or an allergy to it, they just got sick innocently from using that utensil. But, for buffets at home where you would rather nibble and socialize, they are the way to go.
