To serve a cake when I've scraped the mixture off the floor

[greatpotential]

So baby was screaming and I'm pretty tired, and I dropped the tin on the kitchen floor just before it went in the oven. Just spooned it back in and stuck it in the oven... I mopped last night and the cake will bake at 160 c for 50 mins. AIBU to serve to my guests due in 30 mins?

How are you still alive?!

Hope none of you eat at restaurants

If you get worked up about this, I really hope none of you eat takeaway, go to restaurants or buy ready cooked food from supermarkets!

I'd eat it, if as you say the floor was clean and you don't wear shoes in doors.

Save me a slice

Sorry but it’s gross. Whatever you clean your floor with will be mixed in there too. Ew.

I wouldn't think twice about it.
Too much faddiness leads to allergies.
Enjoy!

I don't think restaurants have dogs running about or people walking round with their athletes foot or veruccas on the floor  I also doubt they scoop cake mixture off the floor before baking

@AmateurSwami faddiness?! So not eating floor cake is a fad now 😂

I guess I can see why some people might be ok with something solid and fairly impervious dropped on a clean floor and picked up again, but something literally scraped off the floor? No.

Lweji

I have an awesome immune system I knew they had cleaned the floor that day to be fair.

DH had spent an hour working on the electrics and finally figured out that the the hob kept tripping the house into total darkness over and over again while they were trying to get the dinner on the table. Poor host was stressed already, and dropping half the dinner must have just about finished him off!

Sure...
Just the occasional rat or cockroach.

And just shoes straight from the outside.

Cake mixture, possibly not. Other types of food? Prior to cooking? I wouldn't bet my stomach on that.

Assuming your kitchen floor isn't covered in pet hair, I think I would. What they don't know won't hurt them.

Too all those thinking it is disgusting - a, what do you think is going to happen, and b, what the hell is on your kitchen floor that is so gross??

Well I ate something that had dropped on the floor the other day & it was full of gritty bits. So no I wouldn't! Unless you've broken a glass I doubt it will kill anyone though. I'd phone whoever was coming, ask them to go to a shop & bring something with & give them the money for it. In fact, it has been known & I probably didn't have such a good excuse!

It is true, though.

I did this last year with my Christmas cake mix. It was too bloody expensive to start again, so back in the tin it went. It was delicious and no-one died.
My kitchen floor is pretty clean, to be fair. And I did leave the lower 20% on the floor.

This thread hilarious and so are you OP .

I used to pick up and eat M&Ms and other dry treats that I accidentally dropped onto the floor wherever I was (including the London tube floor lol) and I haven't been ill in years. I only stopped because I got pregnant and thought maybe I shouldn't do that anymore for now, just in case.

I have a cat and I don't clean my kitchen floor that often, but apart from a few cat hairs, there's nothing there that is particularly disgusting.
Or I'd be cleaning it a lot more often. Maybe some pps need to consider doing the same in their kitchen.

If your floor is clean, no worries.

It's being cooked throughout at over 100 degrees C for more than 3 minutes. It's fine.

First Christmas after death of DH was a tricky time for DS,12, and I...I decided we'd eat our most fave foods - and damn the expense so we came up with our fave foods, many of which were identical, so 1st course,shellfish.Tick. Main...for me a sea bass,tick, for ds a steak, but it had to be a sirloin steak and bloody.Tick. Veg. for both - spinach,aglio-olio-peperoncino with lots of lemon to squeeze over and tomato salad.Tick. Pudding? Not for me,not for DS, but both wanted more or less the same cheeses. SORTED!

So what went wrong? First course went to plan..
2nd course, all hell broke out! "Mum! ....(our cat) has just nicked my steak! TELL him,Mum!"
Cat now outside crouched down over the sirloin on the lawn, me chasing behind shouting,something like" Cat!, give the bloody thing back NOW you Bastard!"
Cat relinquishes the sirloin, bit chewed at the edges, I bring it back into the kitchen,quick swill under the tap to get the grass off,back in pan,flash fry, and all is peace again.
Cat spends the rest of the time licking the blood off the grass.
Problem? No problem!
Just a normal Christmas at ours, really!

Its cooked at very high temp so bacteria probably not a problem but - pet hair, bits off your shoes, fragments of the last glass or china you dropped? No thanks.

@Villainelle

Pardon? Did you mean to tag me? I don’t eat cake off the floor, my post is just there ^
thanks for the concern.

YANBU, you mopped the floor yesterday! I'd have some too

I am fairly clarty, but would not do this.
