I heard that somewhere, that medieval diners would just wipe their greasy hands on the dog. I suppose I should look it up to make sure.
Something the few rich people did?
My guess would be the majority, the poor buggers, would lick their fingers and hands.
Simple dining tools too, back then. A bowl, a knife and a spoon. All you need. The bowl would be both for food and for drinks. And easy to lick clean.
