When you have had your lunch in the kitchen.....

Never, what would the staff think!

Baking chocolate cake with DGD (1) last week, she wiped the left over chocolately cake mixture out of the bowl using her whole hand ! She was covered in it but very happy with herself when she presented a clean bowl. Mind you she probably felt a bit sick but wouldn't admit it.

I've never been able to lick a plate successfully without getting sticky/grubby residue on nose, chin or dribbles onto my top.
Perhaps I should practice more often.
I find the quick swipe or dab of forefinger to mouth method more successful.

Not licking the tops of yogurt/mousse pots is wasteful. Very often the tastiest bits lurk there.

There is a saying "Lick the lid of life".

It might mean that when you think things can't get any better they suddenly do, because you discover a big blob (in thatbags' case) of chocolate mousse stuck to the lid of the container.

or maybe you just can't get enough of something?

'irresistible'

Yes I'm a lid licker but that's all.

I agree, licking any sort of lid is fine, and finger dabbing, but I'd never lick a plate. I might scrape it very hard with the spoon...

What did you have that was so irresistable, jingl?

So do I, and I have been known to lick the plate.

I still lick the tops of yoghurt pots. blush

Only if it has been one of my date slices I've been eating because there are a lot of lovely oaty crumbs. Certain other crumby things I might dab up with a damp finger.

There's a chocolate mousse I sometimes have as a treat and I always want to lick the container out but it's too narrow.

When DDs 1 and 2 were at a guide camp (they weren't guides, too young, but I was a leader so they came with me) and had yogurts for pudding, they licked the lids after pulling them off. The other guide leader was horrified but I don't see why. There's nearly always some yogurt stuck to the lid. Why waste it. Tongues are more efficient than spoons.

Not yuck, especially if no-one's looking .

No never..

Better that than letting the dog do it !

I don't have a dog BTW

Or even yuck!

Yuk, never
