It's a habit I just can't break, nor do I want to.
Yes, I was taught to use utensils, but I would say a good 85% of the foods I enjoy eating I use my hands to eat. Mexican food such as tacos, nachos, burritos. Then they is pizza, fried foods (chicken, shrimp, etc.), corn on the cob, seafood (shrimp, crab, crawfish), and of course the deserts. The list can go on and on, but I think you get the picture.
So of course after enjoying these foods, I just can't bring myself to let the deliciousness of it go to waste by using a napkin to wipe my hands. Hence I suck my fingers and savor the last bit of it.
Do you suck your fingers? I betcha you do..

Girl.. didn't your momma teach you any manners? 
We eat with our fingers most of the time.. But I guess I never suck on them.. Ok maybe cake batter dripping off them.. or some krispy Kreme doughnuts.. dripping off the juices.. or maybe 
but when no one;s lookin at me. 1 person likes this

Nope, that she didn't. What she taught me was never to let food go to waste, and that if I was going to enjoy something, enjoy it to the fullest. I learned well.. Pats myself on the back, I am so proud of myself. I betcha it is more of the latter??

Yep, I sure do. I eat pizza with my fingers, and the regular finger foods, like chips and such. I lick my fingers especially while eating the foods with salt on them, since the sald gets on my fingers. I do have napikins, but I forget to haveone close by, as that would be more proper to use instead of licking my fingers.

@rosekiss Oh yes, I have to suck every piece of salt there is off my fingers. I never really worried about being proper, especially when I am eating in my own house. I will simply enjoy every bit of it.

I use cutlery specially because we have pets around and we keep touching them. It also helps if I forget to wash my hands.

You use cutlery to eat something like a taco? Or popcorn? (Just curious) I can understand not wanting to touch your food, after messing with the pets.

Oppsss My bad In my defense, I thought of this last night when I was eating the fried chicken and french fries I cooked, and sitting there sucking my fingers afterwards. You only suppose to suck your fingers after eating, not try to eat your fingers.

Watch out you don't chew off your nails! In a cliffhanger of a football, cricket or hockey match-yes, can't help it. But as a habit-no!

@TexanTornado That's great, we all have some habit or the other, which rankles us, or those around us. But then, it is nature, we cannot help!

No, I don't think I ever sucked my thumb. Well, unless I had some goodies on it. Nail biting is a habit I never got into. So I am good there.

I wouldn't say I suck my fingers, but after eating corn on the cob I might give them a big lick or two....only at home, not out in public.

Oh of course, only at home. It's more justifiable that way. Actually, I know what you mean.@TexanTornado (5573)

@AbbyGreenhill OMG! I love it. My hubby picks on me, that I wouldn't let anything miss my mouth. He is wrong, very rarely about that.
