Actor Matt Damon paid a visit to the Today crew on Tuesday morning, when he sat down for their “Social Q’s” segment. One of the questions Damon answered was from a viewer who was concerned about his girlfriend’s hygiene when she cooks. Before giving his full response, Damon cracked a joke… about “tossing salad.”

“My girlfriend is an excellent cook and really defensive,” the question read. “When she cooks, she tosses the salad with her hands without washing them and tastes everything with her fingers. It makes me feel a little sick. Can I fix this?”

“That’s not what they told me about tossing salad,” Damon replied, laughing — eliciting laughter from the others as well.

He went on to agree with the point about washing hands, adding, “but the tasting food with the fingers — the guy presumably is kissing his girlfriend, I don’t see the big deal there.”

“If it’s not okay, then you might want to re-examine the relationship,” he offered.
