elspeth Report post Posted February 5, 2013 Hello folk. I am genuinely interested in your views on licking your plate clean. From an enviromental viewpoint it saves food waste/ going to landfill ( if it is not composted which it is in many parts of UK ), saves on water and energy needed to heat water, less soapy stuff in the enviroment, less hassle washing up. Do you think it is some kind of learned snobbery or possible pride ( of wealth/status) ? I would appreciate your views. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elspeth Report post Posted June 22, 2015 Hiya GuiltySpark, been a while and your video is kaput. You have your work cut out with all these advert posters recently, they seem to come in waves. ( and tongues.) Had a few folk 'Like' my opening post but no-one ever commented on it. It is still my habit to lick my plates clean, I picked up the habit years ago when camping and visiting various mountain bothy/bothies. I thought that I would widen the discussion with the hope of getting a comment eventually: I have long thought how we in the Developed world so easily adopt new norms and basically take so much for granted, so my idea is to make people appreciate W.C.s... water closets that most of us sit on daily and take totally for granted, so everyone over the age of sixteen should be made to crap and piss into a bucket 3 days out of every year although they can be pampered those 3 days by being allowed to use toilet paper. They of course would also be responsible for emptying the bucket, but only at the end of the third day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuiltySpark Report post Posted June 22, 2015 Not sure what happened to the video or even what it was exactly so can't replace it. However, my uptake on the plate thing is..if you wish to do it then do it! It makes no difference to me whether or not someone does I tend not to even think about it (i suppose because I used to have Dogs and Cats). Personally I don't do it but that's mainly because it's not something / habit I've ever got into. Yep the spammers seem to have a list with this forum top of it. I can understand your efforts and they are appreciated, I just can't understand why there isn't more of a community here with members like on so many other forums. A share of ideas among techies and noobs alike helping each other - to help themselves - to help each other or something like that even if people don't agree with each other as long as it's civilized disagreement it would be fine. Still, Life of a Forum as they say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's just hope the person before you wasn't lick cleaning their plate too! Edit: Sorry, didn't realize how long ago this was posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: Sorry, didn't realize how long ago this was posted. I only lick from cLean plates.. you do not expect to get food on a dirty plate, I expect. As for time, its only relevance as I SEE it, is whether the food is still edible or desirable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
