Husband is a prat

[Buzzer3555]

So i made a lemon drizzle cake. Have just seen husband cut a slice with knife he had just used to slice raw chicken aibu to hope he gets salmonella? (I threw the cake away)

I would have been very tempted to have left him to eat his salmonella cake himself and seen how long it took him to get ill.

Have you asked him how often he does this? What else have you eaten covered in raw meat juice without knowing it?

Am I the only one who now wants Lemon Drizzle cake?

Make another cake or buy one in m and s -their lemon drizzle is good. My husband is often a prat-I feel your pain!

Is he OK? I'd be really worried about eating anything from the kitchen with him around. Is he normally so gross?

On the birdtable? You could have retrieved it from the bin and served it up to him (of course you'd stop him before he actually ate any). I'd have served it up with as much muck from teh bin left on it, so he would notice that there was something wrong, and then he'd remember not to use the chicken knife for cake.

From someone who had salmonela TWICE- I would't take any risk so don't think you're unreasonable. He needs to learn some basic food hygiene stuff!!!

I had the idea that raw chicken juices would have dripped on it. You are right im a stroppy bag. I may go and retrieve from bin

No that’s a good point. I take it back. It’s not like the man was being careful.

You did the right thing to refuse to eat any of it. He could have touched the knife blade against it when preparing to cut, or touched it with his hands and then touched the cake. Anything like that would be a risk, and it's not worth it.

Did you check whether birds can catch salmonella though? In case you wake up in the morning and your garden is littered with dead birds...

God even if the husband made a chicken juice drizzle cake and ate the whole thing, the risk of him getting salmonella is tiny. It’s only in a tiny proportion of infected chickens, you don’t just strike ill from it just by being slack with utensils, honestly. Although obviously it’s just common sense to practise good hygiene around meat!
