I never eat while interpreting. I only bring a bottle of water. If I am hungry between assignments, I bring a yogurt fruit smoothie in a cooler in my car. I just drink that for quick nutrition. If someone offers me food, I just smile and say, "Thank you, but I don't eat while I am on duty."
Too many risks of eating while interpreting, like in your example. Also, suppose the terp starts choking, or spills a soda, or has a lovely bit of food stuck between the front teeth? Ha, ha, better safe than sorry!
thats remind me something happened... one of interpreters had denture, she didnt realized that she popped a gum in her mouth and go like and had some struggling in there.. cuz that gum isnt for denture.. it went like all sticky.. LOL.. it was too much drama.. hehe also she was sure pissed!!!!
