WIBU to refuse his prawns?

[PrawnPain]

Name changer, jsut in case.
Went to a barbecue at a friend's house yesterday. Last time we went away we had some fantstic marinated pawns in chlli lime and coconut. DF had kindly tried to recreate them for me as I absolutely loved them. Very thoughtful.
Trouble was he barbecued them and them popped them bck on the plate that he'd marinated them on to serve them. Bleurgh. So I politely refused them. He was a bit at my reticence, but they all were eaten by others and as yet they are not in the throes of tummysquabbles, so really no harm done except my refusal.
So, WIBU to refuse them? Am I over pernickity?

I would've eaten them but that's just me.

btw, i only clicked on this thread because i thought "refuse his prawns" might be an interesting euphemism

I wouldn't have eaten them. However I work in catering and am really paranoid about food hygiene.
Also I got really bad food poisoning from fish once. Ill for ages.

I would have refused too; raw marinated plate then putting cooked prawns back on it, no thanks.

I really would have loved to eat them but the fear of food poisoning would have put me off.

There's a tossup isn't there between refusing someone's kindness and fear of the lootime?
Self preservation?
re euphemism.

I too clicked looking for sauce :)

I'm squeamish about fishstuff too but happily filthy everywhere else. You're neither under nor over pernikity. We all have our things.

Maybe I'm mean but I'd have told him in no uncertain terms that you can't put cooked meat (or shellfish) back on a plate that's had raw things on. Then he could've even put them back on the BBQ for a minute or so to kill any nasties. Might've left them overdone, but better than risking food-poisoning imo.

YANBU There is no way I would have eaten them. My DH did similar when dipping a brush into a honey jar and brushing it onto raw chicken . Fucking good job I noticed.

You can eat raw prawns, I've had them in sushi! (Although they don't have a lot of flavour until they're cooked.....)

I did feel guilty tbh as he'd obviously thought hard on how to recreate them to pleaseme.

I usually end up the BBQ queen. I don't undercook stuff, but I'd never take offense at anyone refusing my food if they were worried either. You can not be too careful, and BBQs are a risk.

My pet thing to watch for at BBQs isn't so much how well cooked things are but whether the BBQer is being good about raw meat and cooked meat and how they handle it (either with hands or utensils). Its amazing how many people aren't as careful as they should be. They'll freak at a medium rare steak, but not think about how the meat is being handled otherwise.

It's never unreasonable to reuse prawns. They are the rodents of the sea, you may as well just eat a sewage rat.
