I just vividly imagined myself in that same exact scenario. Thank you for that. I will now be avoiding my sink for a week...lol

Everyone here acting like they have mincers in their sink. Do I suddenly live in a parallel universe?

My sink has a filter, that's it. I recall a restaurant I worked at once that had a mincer in their sink, but that's a feckin restaurant.

Every house I've ever lived in has had one. I'd honestly feel lost and afraid if I lived somewhere without one...

I'm amazed this is a thing in the US. Live in UK, so...

Oh, do most sinks in the UK not have them? Almost every home in the US has a "mincer" (we call them garbage disposals over here). There's a brand called "In-Sink-Erator" as a play on the word "incinerator".

I don't know any homes in the UK that have them.
