Would You Eat Recycled Food?

Ok here is something to think about.

One day my mom and I go to a chinese buffet, in the land of buffets, and we get our seats and get ready to get our food. While my mother was getting her plate I was sitting down and I noticed that the people sitting across from us were eating. When I looked over again they had finished their plates. I looked over for a third time ( All in the span of my mother was getting her plate, which was maybe 5 minutes) they had a bowl of Sherburt ice cream. When my mother returned to her seat the bowl of icem cream was left untouched and the people were gone. A waitress came to the table and took the ice cream away.

I thought "What a waste of food" as I looked closely over the bowl of Sherburt.

So at the end of our meal my mother decides that she wants to get some ice cream. I wanted something else, but being my mother she won the fight....or did she *insert evil grin* Although I didn't want to, I asked for strawberry ice cream and she decided that she wanted Sherburt...
Moments late the same waitress from the other table that took the bowl of ice cream from the table across from us, came and served my mother the EXACT same bowl of Sherburt those people had left behind.....

While I'm laughing hystarically at the situation, I kindly explained to my mother that she was eating food that was left behind by another person. After she refused to believe me, she called the waitress over and asked if the bowl of HER Sherburt was once someone else's; the waitress said no. Just seconds later, however, we over heard that poor girl not really speaking very good english. (She kept saying no to other customers that asked her questions).
I thought I was going to die I was laughing that bad. I tried to console my mother between breaths of air that is was actually a good thing that she was finishing up food and that it wasn't going to waste. Her reaction was , for more or less, unsavory when she slapped on some of her Sherburt onto my CLEAN strawberry ice cream.


Now Boys and Girls from what you have read, I have to ask; Do you think it's bad to eat food that was left over from someone else's table? If the food was not touched or even breathed on, would you eat it?

BE HONEST NOW
