Remember, have you ever seen a scene where a salad was served to the table with a spoon stuck into it?
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova, answered the question of why you should never do this if you want to be known as a good housewife.
Hygiene
Preparing a salad usually involves thoroughly mixing the ingredients, sometimes even using your hands.
Inserting a spoon into a prepared salad can introduce bacteria into the dish, which in turn can cause contamination and spoilage.
Aesthetics
A spoon stuck into a salad can ruin its appearance.
As a result, the set table will look less attractive, especially if the appliance does not match the dishes or the style of serving.
Cultural norms
According to table etiquette, using a spoon in a salad indicates low social status, as such serving has historically been associated with public dining rooms or cheap establishments.
