Have you ever hacked a finger (badly!) while prepping a meal and still served the food you injured yourself over?
Yup.
While making potato latkes I accidentally grated a sizable flap of skin from one of my knuckles. The skin was still attached to my knuckle so it didn't end up in the food and it didn't start bleeding for a couple of seconds so there shouldn't have been any contamination... I was going to trash the batch anyway, but my friends insisted that grated fingers are an intregal part of latkes and that it adds flavor (eew. ) and wouldn't let me let me throw it out. I put on a bandaid, wraped my finger in surgical tape and finished the batch... and I hate to admit it, but they were really, really yummy!
Ok, my turn... Have you ever dropped food that you were about to serve, picked it up, brushed it off and re-plated it when no one was looking?
