       I once picked up the ladle in a buffet container of salad
       dressing to sniff it because the dressings were not labeled and
       the room wasn't exactly lit like an operating room.  My mother
       got nasty with me about that and the old forum raked me over the
       coals.  All I wanted to do was confirm that the dressing was
       what it looked like.  Was that worse than putting it on my salad
       and throwing out the salad if I didn't like the dressing?

       Yes, you were wrong to do that. Even if you're careful, you're
       still breathing over the dressing. There's nothing worse than
       watching someone do that & them not realizing a little spit came
       out of their mouth or their hair / sleeve brushed the food. Why
       yes, I have became an expect at nicely moving sample trays from
       would-be sniffers  :-X

       I don't think we need to go over this particular issue again
       since Venus was already "raked over the coals" here about it.

       Well, no.  But the same reaction would be anticipated and she
       wouldn't/shouldn't have brought it up if she's still very
       sensitive about it.

       I think Venus193's post was meant to answer the topic question
       by sharing her experience with smelling food. Result being it's
       not a good thing to do.
       Plus, she learned from her mistake:

       Since that time if I can't ID a dressing I just take oil and
       vinegar.

       I agree with Bada.
