Comment on How do you get people to wash their vegetables when you're at their house and you don't wanna seem rude?

This is a tricky one. I think I’d just offer to help them prepare and then specifically ask to be put on vegetable duty. One of my aunts is like this, doesn’t wash veggies, doesn’t rinse the soap off her dishes once she’s scrubbed them (!), so whenever I’m at her house I just offer to help.

She European?

Flabbergasted when I learned from an American friend that their British friend did this.

  No she’s not. The water is very unclean, super soapy, and she does it “to save water”. There is often soap residue on the glasses and probably the dishes too, you can just see it easier on the glass. She wonders why she’s had stomach issues most of her adult life.
  
  This is also the woman who once let a turkey thaw in her fridge, which then leaked raw turkey juice (bloody water) onto a half slice of watermelon that was on the shelf below it. She then ate the watermelon after washing it off in the sink “because it was wrapped in plastic and was still ok.” It was not ok, she got food poisoning.
  
  I think she’s just unhygienic and has an “I’m always right” Boomer mentality.
