The plate, my fingers, the utensils, whatever's handy.

Wait, is this one of them thar philosophical questions?

No, this is a strictly scientific investigation.

I can rarely stop myself from doing it when people *are* there.

No. But I will daintily use bread to sop up the dregs.

beside a pointy stick
and a skull cap

Oh, in that case, no. But I am an enthusiastic bread sopper-upper, company or no.

Yep. I've been known to do it even if someone is around.

Of course.

Yes.

For some reason I only do it if a baked potato was involved.

No.

ew.

Hell yeah!

Of course, if you prefer to be discrete, I recommend leaving some doughy portion of the meal, like a roll till last to mop up that delicious goo with.
