That awkward moment you're caught licking the blade of your chefs knife clean

I just finished cutting a chocolate cake and decided since I was the only one around lick the blade clean. Of course everyone walks in and decide to stare.

The only other option you had was to throw away perfectly good cake icing (loaded with crumbs) and put the dirty knife in the sink.
imo: You made the right choice. It's what I do.

They might have needed to take you to the ER.

I'm a bit O/C with my sharpening skills, you do NOT put any of my knives anywhere near your own body parts!

Plus as a chef it's necessary. But over time I've learned how to lick them without cutting myself
