My chef(teacher) asked me this today and I ave no idea why it's bad luck? Any ideas?

I've never heard of this.
I've spent plenty of time in the kitchen and I whistle quite often.
Never had any evil, dark cooking demons come out yet! But then again, I cook mostly Italian and I tend to use a little more garlic than some.... that could help!!

What does your chef/teacher say could happen??

Let me know if I should stop! hehe

it may not be bad luck but unsanitary. if you whistle while cooking, you're spreading tiny airborne particles of your own saliva.

I like the saliva reason above, but my only other thought is that the dogs might think you are calling them to come and get their food??

Please let us know his answer?

Naw, I think it just makes the quiche go flat!!

lol... I found it out, apparently during the French revolution all the Chefs that worked for the Nobel's were tried as traitors and on their way to the gallows they all whistled in a line until they dangled. Hence, if you are a chef it brings misfortune and death to the whistler.

I'll never look at whistling the same again!

That was my laugh for the day!! Thanks for the giggle! Now I know it's not my cooking that will get me sent to the gallows...just my whistling, lol

in kitchen i don't no but at night time i do..frm our religious or rather spritiual matter..whisteling at night time is bad luck . that bad luck may affect your family relations..etc..

Hmmm, what religion is this? I'm not knocking it, just curious!

I think the only time it may affect my family relationships is if I'm awake at night whistling and I wake everyone when they have to be up early in the morning. lol
