Hmm do you mean with liquid food such as soup? I suppose you do as you can get everything else up with a fork knife or spoon otherwise.
So if it was soup, the only instances I would lick it clean is if I'm eating by myself and even then I would rarely do it.
Around others I think it's bad table etiquette. Call me pompous but it was just the way I was raised.
I'm not talking about in public, though I wish I was. I don't really think it's bad etiquette since it signals to the chef that you really liked the food.
Others tend to judge you for it, though, so blah.
And I mean with any food, doesn't have to be soup.
Do you lick the plate clean?

You described this really well; I'm the same.
OP, I do this sometimes. Just not around others for fear of being judged badly. It's just not something that's 'proper' to do around others in public.

I get what you're saying. Maybe in different countries/cultures it would be acceptable. In mine it is not though.
