What is meant by licking the platter clean is to finish whatever is on the plate No I do not do what you see in the photo
I "lick the platter clean'"when it comes to anything sweet be it ice cream, fruit salad, chocolates, the works. While at a buffet I will keep enough place in my stomach so that I can help myself with all those desserts lined up there.
What would be your story when it comes to licking the platter clean?

As a kid I would always lick the platter clean as shown in the photo. I don't remember doing that by my siblings would tease me and say there was no need of washing the plate after my meals ; I have always had the habit of eating all the food on my plate and always serve only as much as I can eat. There is always place in my tummy for an icecream. Actually I have a separate compartment in my stomach for icecream.. hehehehe....

Not many would do what you did - not me any way - but if you enjoyed doing it and that matters.
Yes. I too have a separate compartment for sweets in my stomach that never fills up

@allknowing - If I am invited and there is something I dislike it stays in the plate. I cannot digest lettuce, I never force myself to eat this kind of green salad, same for cabbage and cauliflower.

I don't know why I am having different understanding on "licking the plate".

That is a figurative expression No one licks plates. It means you eat everything.
