    In the privacy of our home, we not only lick our fingers but lick the entire plate.

    It's become the ultimate compliment to each other's cooking.

    plate licking is ok, i guess finger licking is  ok as long as your hands are clean and it’s in your own home

    Hand washing has always been a norm in our place;
    it comes with living on a farm.

    Let's keep it real. I'm a pig when I eat alone and on top of that, I've been known to lick my plate.

    If food is going to get all over my fingers, I use utensils to eat it. On the rare occasions when, for example, the tuna salad oozes out of my sandwich I will use a napkin to remove it from my hand. Whether this makes me civilized or not, is up for debate.

    you are civilized, it would be uncivilized to lick/suck the tuna salad off your hand

    I do lick the ice cream bowl. I do not allow any ice cream to be wasted.

  • I do not lick fingers or plates. I'm not a dog.
