What is the origin of the spit handshake?
The 'Spit Handshake' originated around the 14th century in modern day Czechoslovakia. Working class individuals often had dry and callous hands due to hard labour, so when handshaking an individual they experienced some pain. In fact there was an account, (fabricated most likely) of two men's hands spontaneously conbusting due to the friction generated from their handshake. To counter this pesky and common problem, Hans Spitstein developed the 'Spit Handshake' in which both parties would lubricate their hands before commencing the act. Obviously as these were working class men, oil was not readily available and so spit was used as a replacement. Over time the act of spitting on one's hand and offering it became viewed as an act of respect and trust, involving into the 'Spit Handshake' we know and love.

Is it illegal to spit in someone food in the UK?
In a restaurant or food serving establishment, it would be a breach of hygiene practice. This should (theoretically) get the person who spat in the food fired, or possibly get the restaurant closed (but both of these are unlikely, since the customer is unlikely to know that the food has been spat in, so will not report it to the local health authority. Also, other employees at the restaurant are unlikely to report it, because if the restaurant closed down they would be unemployed). More likely, the person who did spit in the food will probably keep their job. If the person who spat in to food did so knowing that they carried a contagious disease (whether they work in a restaurant, or are just serving food to others in their home) and intended to cause harm, this may result in a prison sentence. If however, the person who spits in the food does not carry anything contagious, and is not working in a food serving environment, it is not illegal.
