You should lick your plate after eating, especially if you really enjoyed the meal.

r/

Instead of washing the crumbs and sauce down the sink (or into the garbage), you should try to lick your plate so clean that it looks newly washed. First, it is a compliment to the chef. Second, it is environmentally friendly. Third, it reduces clean-up. Fourth, if the food is good you get that extra bit of enjoyment. Fifth, it keeps your tongue in shape for other things.

    Even in public? And then the dishwasher has to clean a ton of saliva covered plates? This is fine if you clean your own plate.

    at you home yeah but due to social standards I think it would be better to use the food like bread or potato’s and wipe up as much as you can.

    I have to say I do let my pups take the leas on licking of the plates. But the fifth reason by OP is interesting…

    This is either the best use of this subreddit or the worst. Can’t decide.

    My ex and I used to do this when it was just us at home. Our plates were always clean. We never wasted a single crumb. I wouldn’t do it now but it makes me chuckle.

    “Do five-year-olds count when deciding if something is an unpopular opinion” is not a question I expected to have to think about today

    I’m going to go with no and give this an upvote but you’re on thin ice.
