Mind Boggling Common Sense
Reading a post ‘tip’ about how to wash a lot of greens. The tip is to fill your sink and swish the greens in the water and let the sand and grit settle. I’m with one of the commenters who said “You mean most people don’t wash their greens this way?”. But this isn’t the boggling thing.
The boggling thing is another commenter who thinks their sink is too filthy to wash their greens in and asked for tips on how to wash their sink.
You wash your dishes, cutlery, glassware, pots, pans, knives, cutting boards and other utensils in your sink. Most of these things you eat off of, or have direct contact with your mouth at some point. Some of these things you prepare raw food on. For the things that need to be heated to cook your food, sure heat kills germs, but heat does not kill mank.
So seriously, if your sink is too filthy to wash greens in, how can you bring yourself to do anything food related with what you wash in it? Or if you think the things you wash in it are safe, then wash the sink the way you wash your dishes?
This is like the thing where people think eating offal is manky, but happily eat eggs[1].
