      The horror is not that you have wet food in the sink

      The horror is that you live with someone who would put food in the sink and let it get wet and linger until the next morning

        I have plenty of food in the sink when I rinse the plates. It’s a lot easier to pick up the little chunks in the filter there than trying to get everything in the first pass in the compost.

        I mean between that or putting my hands in shit while changing a diaper, I will take wet food in the sink any day of the week.

    Do you not scrape your plate before putting it in the sink? That seems like it would attract flies.

      I scrape the bulk of the food in the compost, but it’s more time efficient to let the small chunks get stuck in the filter than trying to get everything over the compost bin.

      Garbage disposals do exist. Even so, they’re not really meant to be grinding up a whole bunch of food, and neither are the pipes really meant to handle that quantity of solids, even in ground up

        Yeah but if op had a garbage disposal they wouldn’t care about touching wet food since they wouldn’t have to do anything but push it into the drain with a utensil. Only with a normal drain would you have to grab the food bits out with your hand.
