No not the floors!

Food!

After a good meal (usually including gravy but other juices are available) do you use bread and butter to mop up?

With a sunday roast I love a thickly buttered piece of white slice to mop up with.

Apparently down this end of the world this is not normal. Pretthy much everyone I know from the midlands/north mops!

If you dont use bread and butter, what the hell do you use?

Never heard of mopping up and I'm from Halifax.

I don't really do wet foods tbh, perhaps baked beans occasionally..

Sounds a bit disgusting bread and gravy but whatever rocks your boat.

Of course I understand mopping.
It's one of life's little pleasures.

I almost never make a roast these days. Crying or Very sad

When I do, I don't actually provide thickly buttered white bread* to do so, my mother would never have allowed it on the table, and those sort of habits have tended to stick, so I don't usually provide it ... but what a damn fine thing that would be. I certainly would if someone asked for it.

We were "trained" by my mother to use the starchy vegetable/s to soak up the gravy. She insisted we eat things evenly so that the gravy was soaked up as we went along. My dysfunctional sister would eat all of one vegetable and mum would be telling her off, whilst I would puddle about in the gravy until things were mushed in, and by the end of the meal, it was all soaked up and eaten (off a fork, we were not allowed to use a spoon for anything but dessert, God she was strict! Laughing ).

Having said that, I had a lamb shank with swede and carrot mash tonight and I licked the plate
(another childhood favourite that you can only indulge in when there is nobody looking)

But when I was doing the Italian family thing then of course pasta sauces were always mopped. With big slices of Italian country bread, which you also used to mop up olive oil from multiple plates of antipasti before AND after the meal. English people who don't understand that is what you do (sit, talk, mop, drink more wine) aways think its the sign of a bad restaurant if the pasta sauce is "too runny" or too "oily". No! Its made that way for the mopping! My mother in law often used to use mutton instead of beef for the pasta sauce so that it was rich and oily, fabulous mopping sauce Cool






*omg, sex=food, do you even know how long its been since I had a piece of thickly buttered white bread! Cool

I hate mopping floors.
That's why I have a cleaning lady.

I hated having to mop floors when I was maiding, it was the worst job, and you always had to do it last thing at night when you were exhausted and just wanted to fuck off home.

I only do it if I absolutely have to, like if I spill something or break a glass.

I used to, but can't any more because 'er indoors likes to remind me that bread is responsible for my less than svelte figure...

Instead I lick the plate if the gravy is particularly good.

I once observed a particularly disgusting habit (stop sniggering) which I believe originated in the Black Country.

The last slice of white bread is used to wipe out the still warm frying pan in which the bacon, egg and black pudding were fried in. In lard.

I myself, do not mop. I consider it good manners to moderate your morsels with each forkful collecting a set amount, so that the last mouthful scoops up the last bit of gravy or sauce.

That’s why it’s so annoying when someone offers you an extra roastie just as you’re finishing and you’ve got nothing to moisten it with because you’ve correctly callibrated your meal beforehand.

Now this, this is sunday morning heaven. Not mopping but I fry the last slice of bread in the pan residue.

Steroids injected by the hospital) and happy pills have had an adverse effect on my body.

I could drink nothing but water and put on weight. I have cut down on all the bad stuff but still my weight fluctuates.

That and having 6 jackets its way too many.

There are a couple of meals I make where I buy some good rolls specifically for mopping up. My favourite is a Mediterranean dish - pan grilled chicken with spices (cumin and ground coriander), garlic, lemon juice, chillies, olive oil, served with a simple salad. Serve onto the plate, pour over the pan juices, then squeeze a fresh lime over it and sprinkle with salt. Mopping heaven! Very Happy

And let's not forget the good old naan bread/chiapattis/roti with your curry.

I'll often eat a bowl of curry just using chiapattis.

Have a slice of bread with leftover lamb or beef gravy on it. That's nice. I suppose you could lick the plate clean; however, it's more polite to use a spoon (don't scrape your plate with it, though, that is not good manners).

I use my knife and fork... the only time I've ever had bread and butter for after a meal is when I've had fish and chips in Whitby. Which is most certainly northern.
