<p>Please tell me you are kidding. Seriously?! </p>
New heights of tackiness
<p>I'm not even sure tacky is the correct word I'm looking for, but...</p>

<p>My firm is having a pot lunch Thanksgiving lunch in which the employees bring various food from their home. So, I see someone placing name tags by the food items of whom brought what. When I asked about the name tags I was told we have some people in our firm who will not eat foods brought by certain employees because they don't consider them clean or they are concerned they might have germs of some sort or another. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I decided to skip the luncheon and I don't think I'll be participating in any future employee sponsored pot lucks. I have never heard of such nonsense.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If someone is a germaphobe to the extent they are concerned about certain people and what they may bring, why didn't they just not particpate.</p>

<p>Son2 had food allergies as a baby and since I was bfing, that meant I couldn't eat those foods either. With a pot luck, I'd fix something that I could eat, so I'd have at least something to eat. Then, I'd look for dishes that most likely would be okay. If it was a small gathering, I'd ask who ever brought the dish what was in it--usually something like "This looks really good. What's in it?"</p>

<p>My church always has a breakfast on Easter morning. Breakfast casserole type dishes. You know, stuff loaded with eggs, cheese, sausage. Food allergy nightmare! I always fix a dish like baked oatmeal and label it as such, with a list of what's in it.</p>

<p>But, to ask people to label food just so you can avoid what someone brought it... that is just so tacky!!!</p>
