Is licking your fingers in public places or any where for that matter (home, at the table, at a friend's, etc) bad manners? My wife jags me all the time about that but Geez certain things I feel just can't not be wasted on a napkin. So any way my Wife whips up a dashing meal with the works last night. That Jamalyian New Orleans Zatarians rice and beans with polish sausage potato salad and steamed Brocoli just the way I like it. Trust me I could die right now. Also to make things worst she added one of my favorite BAR_ B_ QUE Beef Ribs. So, long story short, my kids finish eating...Im on my second plate I finish and Im there licking away at my fingers.
Wife: "Do you have to do that? Jesus! Hunny get a napkin."
Me: "For what?"
So as Im licking and sucking away low and behold my daughter and son are doing nothing more than mimicking old pop as they lick away as well.
Wife: "I swear I live in a circus!"
I don't know what it is. Not to say that I dont use napkins, or that I eat with my hands and just scarf everything down because I dont. It is just when I have certain foods at my disposal (Ice Cream Cone that runs down my hands, Spaghetti MB, I dont know anything with melted cheese I can't help it its a habit) I tend to do this.
Is it okay to lick your fingers when you eat? If SO, where is it tolerable? Is it ever tolerable in public places?
AM I A PIG OR DOES ANYONE ELSE DO THIS?
