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.

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   :laugh:

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