Plate licking

[tcm]

I have made a Skipper's Decree that licking plates is actually "good manners" on board the boat. Also marking the cups which get filled with boling water saves washing up. Altho i do boil the cutlery every 6 months or so.

Do any of the full time live-aboards LICK the plates clean after a meal to help with the washing up?

As bad as licking your knife.......ad then using it to take butter from the butter dish!!!!!! Not good on a boat!!

Not at all the same, I do lick MY plate onboard as no-one else will be using till its washed up! As opposed to the licking of a utensil which can be transferred to others..

Certainly not, when the Chief Steward and the stewardesses are present. Wether or not it happens in the crews mess I wouldn't know!
