to think that an adult shouldn't be blowing on their food to cool it down?

[Grockle]

Just wondering.

I think it's not really ok for an adult to blow on their food rather than waiting a bit for it to cool down. DP thinks it's perfectly reasonable. AIBU?

I'm not sure it's spelt fuffing but that's as close to how it's pronounced I could get.

I'm not sure about 'fuffing', it sounds like something a Tory MP might get up to in a sex dungeon. Granted there'd probably be some blowing.

There is no other way to eat a Pot Noodle.

Unless it's thermonuclear when consumed it tastes rank. You need to lob a forkful in your gob and suck-blow over it whilst it sears your tongue, making breathing noises that you only otherwise hear in a labour ward.

Same with a Cup a Soup.

I had absolutely no idea that I was committing such a heinous act. I don't read at the table, I don't rest my elbows on the table, I don't clatter my cutlery on my teeth... who knew I was letting the side down by blowing on my food?

Some people need to get some real problems.

Oh god, its now gonna be a MN thing not to blow on your food?

FUCK OFF. I'M SO DONE.

Ah Squoosh where's the News of the World when you need it?

"Vince Cable caught in rampant fuffing scandal"

aww, would you Latte ?

he is chained up in the wardrobe atm, but I'll tell him you said hi

Giving him a good "fuffing" eh AF?

Would using a set of bellows to generate air be more acceptable than breath?

if he's a Good Boy, he might get fuffed later

You dirty fuffer.

YABU, I do it as I don't want to burn my mouth and I also don't want the rest of my dinner to be cold. You usually only need to blow on the first few bites and then towards the end the food is cooler. Where as if you waited for the food to cool down, you'd end up with a cold dish.

I think you should name change to Anyfuffer now.

It's no wonder Britain is broken with all this filthy fuffing going on.

I'll only do this if I'm on my own, and then mainly with soup especially cup a soup which I sometimes have for lunch. It's not good manners to blow on your food in company and definitely not in a restaurant. You just look immature and impatient and "germ" spreading

Jamie Oliver and his Italian old mate were fuffing on their ravioli last night.

YANBU. Can't stand blowing, aaaahing or mmmming. It's so unnecessary!

Like performance sneezing. WAAAACHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Makes me MAD MAD MAD!

I read this while eating blackberry and apple crumple with cream. Initially it was very hot and I automatically blew on each spoonful, by the end it was just the right temperature so no blowing needed. If I had waited until it was cool enough to start the last third would have been cold. There is just me and the cat here, she doesn't seem too fussed about the blowing and now she is licking the plate (stands back and waits for mumsnet to implode due to slatternly behaviour and animal cruelty).

I've never seen any adult blow on their food!
How does blowing cool it down! Aren't you just puffing warm air on hot food.

If food is very hot I just wait a short while and start with the food on the outer edges of the plate.

find at home
not ok in company. but tbf resaurant food tend not to be as hot anymore when it reaches the table.

I'm in such a habit of blowing on my food, I blow on my ice cream and salad sometimes.

You can't wait for the whole meal to be cool, or at the end of the meal, it'll be luke warm instead of hot. Everyone knows that.

YABU, his food, up to him. Now if he was blowing all over yours he would be the unreasonable one.

Yabu I can't wait for it to cool though
