Dish Licking
This was inspired by the dish washing (or lack thereof) thread. You squeemish, tightly puckered folk best gird yourselves if you choose to read any further.
After the spaghetti's gone of the plate, after the last of the gravy-lathered steak and potatoes have been forked up, I will lift that plate up to my face and lick it until there ain't nothing left to get! Yup! There it is! I'm a plate licker! We do wash the plates afterward though.

I believe there is a support group for that PLA (plate lickers anonymous). They meet once a month and pass out a plate guard that goes over the plate like a screen so you CAN'T get close to the plate to lick it clean. Seems pretty cruel to me.

the secret that can not be spoken
Yeah but who uses their dogs for the prewash? And who dares confess? At least we aren't likely to eat at each others' homes....
My dogs, we call 'em Soap and Water

The dogs don't clean our plates, but they clean our cookware.
How better to get all the yummy stuff off the sides?
The chickens help too.. they get the baked on stuff off and do a great job.
Though there are days when we have more pots, pans and casserole dishes in the back yard than in the cabinets.

Like any addiction, it starts small, usually with ice cream. A puddle of fudgy goo in the bottom of the bowl, a furtive glance over the shoulder, and a quick lick. Soon our addiction overcomes our inhibitions. We will blatantly lick out the bowl RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR MOTHERS! From ice cream it progresses to various savory sauces like gravy, tomato sauce, Alfredo. Soon we are using our front teeth to scrape melted cheese off the plate after our cheeseburger.
We hit rock bottom when we find ourselves licking tator tot crumbs off the bottom of a to-go container.
Society shuns us and criminalizes our behavior. Without help, our bodies are found under a bridge, where we have bled to death after cutting our tongue licking out the remnants from a can of Hormel Chili.

Ever get your head hung in a pot or pan while licking and look like a dog or racoon running around trying to remove a can from it's head? Can be a tramatic happening!!

My husband is a plate licker. At first it got on my nerves, but now I take it a compliment toward my cooking.

Do you lick the wrappers of all those ice cream sandwiches you eat? I mean, I'd never do such a thing. :smiley-laughing013:

I heard if you have a really bad addiction they electricify the plate, kind of like an electric fence or bug zapper.

Waste not, want not. Do you wash your paper plates after you have licked them clean?

Don't know why, but this response made me belly laugh out loud. My cow-orkers think I am touched in the head. (yes I spelled it wrong on purpose)

No plate-licking here but I have been known to ream out the last of chip dip with my finger and lick that.

MN that is only in the MOST severe cases. In one case we actually had to hook one man up to a car battery. Plate lickers are to be pityed not laughed at.
The motto of the group is----One plate at a time we shall overcome

I'm normally not a plate licker (unless it's gooey fudge from ice cream or brownies), but I DO lick the mixing bowls plum clean with the use of my finger & spatula!

Ok, I'll be the party crasher - no plate licking at our house!
We are not "high society", but as the world gets more crude every day, we are at least, trying to keep for ourselves and to give our kids, some inkling of good table manners, when dining.
We cringe when our niece licks her plate (she's 14) and plead with her, not to do that, at any house she is visiting. Also, even though we love spirited conversation at the table (our kid's are teens), we don't allow swearing at during dinner.
Got to draw the line somewhere.
Pass on the plate licking.
