Post an embarrassing or disgusting fact about you.

[Kosmonaut]

how is that disgusting? It's just in polite. I always lick my bowls when there has been something tasty there.

how is that impolite? it tells the cook you liked the food. i lick too when it's been yummy. only when home.

I think this kind of thing is highly dependent on what country/region you are in.  In the US, Miss Manners would say that even using a piece of bread to wipe sauce from your bowl would be rude.  However, Mordok has told me it's common in other places he's travelled-- I want to say Italy, but he's currently snoring on the couch and I can't confirm.

It is common practice all over Europe i would say.

Ahhhh, ok.

There's a slightly embarrassing fact-- I've never travelled outside the US.  Not travelled very far within the US either.

i don't think it's very common in europe to lick plates in public. i would never do that. it'd be too embarassing. and mom complains when i do it at home.

Its not something I've seen much of either, I always thought it was one of those things that people do at home but would think it was rude to do it in the company of other people.

i wouldn't find it rude, just surprising.

Well, no, I don't think licking the plate in public is common anywhere.  I was talking about using a piece of bread or something to mop up sauce on a plate/bowl.

My wife complains when my daughter or I lick the plate clean at home but when she's not around it's fair game like eating things your not supposed to with your hands stuffed clams for instance

If you live in New England, clams, stuffed, steamed or fried are considered quite the delicacy!

[Kosmonaut]

I liked them fried with a mustard and lemon sauce.
