To serve a beautiful slow cooked joint of best brisket......

[YNK]

........after the bastard dog has stolen half of it from the serving plate on the kitchen counter!
I don't think it's been slobbered on, it was more of a hit and run!
I'm bloody fuming!

Mmm. I wouldn't want to eat dinner that had been in a dogs mouth first..

Ewww no, you can't!

Just take off the obviously chewed bits. To be honest, the dog's mouth is probably cleaner than some of your guests' mouths.

I would still serve it!

God, that's minging!

Yuk. No no dogs mouths can have Ll types of nasties can't they. That's why you need tetanus if they break skin.

Time to ban the dog from the kitchen perhaps?

Who are you serving it to?

Immediate family (as in me, DH and kids) would do so no worries, close family, I probably would as we are all pretty relaxed.

Not close family, then no.

It's getting served. What they don't know wont harm them! It was carved into (very) thick slices so i think it was only the missing bits that were touched!
At least that's my theory! They are all going Mmmmmmmm, smells lovely, mum. I can't tell them or the dog will die!

Meh, I'd still dish it up.

Oh dear.

Maybe be honest and give your guests the choice?

I would not eat it personally, and I wouldn't give it to DS. There must have been some sort of grabbing, slurping and close contact with the joint as a whole for him to get a chunk off.

There's plenty left, if any of you want to join us!
He is a small terrier who couldn't reach the rest from the chair he climbed on, so I think it's not been touched!
Only immediate family. (I witnessed one of them eating worms when they were a toddler!).

Just make sure they don't see this thread.

I wouldn't personally want to eat it or serve it, not matter how much I am told me would be ok. To me it would be icky

He'll have been licking his arse just before slobbering on your joint
I'd never forgive anyone who served me dog's arse bacteria as an added condiment with my Sunday dinner.

Ugh I couldn't eat it no.
I hope you booted his arse into the garden!

I'm sure I read somewhere that a dogs mouth has one of the highest concentrations of bacteria compared to anything else?

I wouldn't eat it.

salmo yes it has, when I worked in a and e we were told to always do a tetanus fit dog bites ugh
Op have you decided? Are you currently eating it

A dog can lick it's own anus.

Enough said!

Yum yum!

Yuk, no way would I eat it.

If not eat it if a dig had even breathed on it tbh.
Not too partial to our canine friends.

I may serve it but would go vegetarian for the day

A dog can lick it's own anus. exactly

Ah, go eat and enjoy OP Trim off any bits that have been nibbled and then ignore the hygiene-obsessed and dish up... Enjoy a glass of as well.

Of course you can still serve it! wouldn't bother me one jot but I am a bit minging.
