Do you ever secretly lick your plate?

[BloodyBollockingHell]

The height of bad manners but I can’t resist bean juice or post-baked-potato buttery lickings.

Shocking I know.

[QuestionableMouse]

Ugh no. It gives me the heaves and I'm not overly fastidious!

[Floralnomad]

No because it’s disgusting .

[Hiccupiscal]

Yes. And I dont hide it.

[gubbbbbddaaaa]

No .

[meow1989]

I dont lick the plate but I will season with salt and pepper and swipe a finger round... unless its a roast then getting a bit of bread and doing the same is one if life's great pleasures!

[DiabeticFirstBaby]

Only in my own home with just the DH here! 😋

[happymummy12345]

No, the thought of it makes me sick. Hate when people lick yoghurt lids and spoons as well

[Sunseed]

Only out of sight of DCs!

[AmICrazyorWhat2]

My DH deliberately licks his plate sometimes to tease me, because he knows I can’t stand it.
But he’s got a silly sense of humor...if you can call that yucky behavior “humor.”

[CoffeeInAnIV]

No. It's disgusting 🤢

[scrivette]

I will use my finger to 'mop up' but not when the DC are around as I tell them not to do it!

I also sometimes eat with my fingers whilst reading a book if I am on my own.

[MirandaMarple]

No, but my Labradors do.

[FallonsTeaRoom]

I get a spoon or piece of bread to mop up remaining food juices. Licking plates is vile.

[JesusInTheCabbageVan]

I'll up the stakes. Has anyone done it in a restaurant? (I haven't, but I will at home if it was something especially nice.)

[Liddell]

No, unless with bread.

[33goingon64]

If it's DH's gravy after a roast then yes, but in private. I don't get people saying it's disgusting - bad manners yes but it's the food you've just eaten on an otherwise clean plate!

[PhylisPrice]

I did it for the first time in years the other day after lunch with my toddler, looked to my side and he was copying me bent of his plate licking it like a dog 🤣 won't be doing it again for fear of him doing it at nursery! 😂🙈

[weepingwillow22]

No but if I have eaten a gu pudding I will sometimes use a finger to get the chocolate in the corner of the pot.

[PhylisPrice]

Bent over*

[Aquamarine1029]

No.

[myhobbyisouting]

God it's years since I've done that. But yes, totally been there

[notso]

Yes, because gravy but don't tell my kids

[UnitedRoad]

Not dinner, but I do with pudding sometimes

[waltzingparrot]

Licking your own plate - it isn't really that disgusting though is it? Now licking someone else's plate that they've already licked - that would be disgusting

[imissthesouth]

Only if it's just me! I don't get why people think it's disgusting. It's bad manners to do it near others and I tell my DC not to do it, but you ate off that same plate, why is it now disgusting?
