non-dairy flavors

[cos]

solestria, who doesn't eat dairy, told me she wished all the sorbets were placed together on one table.

Later, separately, I heard surrealestate telling about how someone had taken a scoop full of a dairy ice cream and put it into a sorbet container. I asked what she thought of the idea of putting sorbets on a separate table, and she said it'd be great if all the non-dairy flavors had their own table.

wotw chimed in to say that he thinks only sorbets should be allowed because they're much better than ice cream, but having a separate non-dairy table would be better than nothing :)

So, I'm posting to see what other people think of this. Has it been considered before?

I can beat that: I was watching someone use hir neck spoon to scoop.

Which brings up another discussion: when I was trying to get ice cream off of scoops I didn't really want to use my own spoon or my fingers, so by Sunday I'd started going for a second scoop from the water bowl to pull the ice cream off and onto my plate. I'd put the original scoop back in its ice cream and the second scoop back in the water bowl. It might be that I was going tsp sized samples and nobody else had this problem, but just wanted to put that out there as an option/problem

That doesn't bother me very much to see since the entire weekend while mixing, people share the spoons, etc, of the leftovers that didn't fit into the container. And indeed, many fingers and spoons were used to get the ice cream out of the scoops. I don't really see any way of avoiding some level of (for lack of better term :) cooties in the ice cream process. I'd still rather a spoon that was wiped clean than a scoop full of something else.

(Okay, it could be avoided with many very small dishers, but that'd be a pretty expensive outlay.)
