We have the same thing.
If we are Stoooooopid enough to leave anything on the cooker. It gets a wipe around with the tongue.
I was preparing a corned beef hash, I'd cut up a couple of tins of corned beef and put them in an oven dish (Recipe on ceefax page 324 )
was waiting for the spuds to soften. left the kitchen for 2 mins to answer the call of nature.
Came back into the kitchen to find oven dish empty . . spotless in fact
and Echo licking her lips.
Another time we had just dished up a meal of homemade curry.
We always do a big pan. . .enough for a couple of meals.
Sat down and got our nommage on.
Heard a clattering noise from the kitchen, it was the ladle used in the dishing up.
Daughtry was licking the ladle, but Echo was nose deep in the pan of curry.
Lets just say that the curry left Echo looking very much as it had gone in
It's not that they are hungry, they always get enough to eat. . .
Just that human food is irresistable and must not, CANNOT be ignored.
