It's enough to make a person feel sick!
Television cooks doing disgusting things IMHO which make me wonder if they do that when we are watching God help us who eat their food when they are not being watched.....
1. Egg white separated from the yolks through the fingers - and this after the cook has shaken hands with other people and the hands in other places. Also fingers over the top of the bottle of oil and also vinegar to make a sprinkle :(
2. The tea towel kept in the cook's jean's pocket over his bottom and brought out to wipe the bench and THEN to make the plate look clean wiping around the food :(
3. Using hands to mix everything - I realise to make meatballs/scones this is necessary but to mix cakes and other things seems they just want to feel like kids with finger painting :(
4. placing every bit by hand on a plate to serve rather than using a utensil and this after having done goodness knows what with said hands.
I have quite a few more lol but others have their pet peeves I am sure, so look forward to hearing of them also.

I agree Phyl after watching Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay on TV.
Once you get past the swearing and look into the condition of most kitchens of restaurant businesses in financial strife and see the gross filth, cockroaches, rotten food etc.
It makes me wonder whats going on in restaurant kitchens here in our country and its enough to stop me eating out.
