I read in a book by Mushtaq Ahmed Yousufi about a Khan Sahab who thought that spitting out melons seed or chicken bones is against his mardaangi .. and used to finish the whole chicken along with bones (and melons with seeds) ,.
I have an uncle who picks everything from his plate and finshes it, along with peices of garlic, ginger, black cardamom, clove and what not ..
Do you clean your plate all the times?
Re: Clean you plate
most of the time....but that doesn't include chicken bones or melon seeds
Also I always leave out black cardamoms and cloves........
Re: Clean you plate
What if the bones get stuck in your throat... ??!
I don't.. whatever is left including the bones goes in my husband's plate.
Re: Clean you plate
Spiral, I am not promoting to eat bones, I was just mentioning that :D
I know of a family, both wife and daughter used to dump their left overs in husbands/dad's plate and expected him to finish that .. that guy right in front of my eyes not only gained weight to an unhealthy level but put himself in a dangerous situation by having a very high cholesterol and then a stroke .....so watch out when you decide to use your hubby as a dumpster :D
Re: Clean you plate
lol sureeeeeee!
I don't eat the gooey part of the meat.. he thinks its all the good meat i am leaving.. so i'll let him eat that.
but back to the topic... My SIL cleans her plate super good.. she doesn't eat the bones though but you won't find a single grain of rice in her plate left.
You will find lots of extra stuff on my plate, including but not limited to saalan kay onions :o
Re: Clean you plate
wow...I never clean my plate...=( i just eat what i can but i dont take too much to start with...i heard its hard for people to digest melon seeds..
Re: Clean you plate

Re: Clean you plate

Re: Clean you plate
Batman won't share.
Re: Clean you plate

Re: Clean your plate
I eat everything on my plate, bar those things that taste eyuuuuuchhhh when you bit into them. I just leave them on the side of the plate, e.g cloves, cardamom, peppercorns, black cardamom, chunks of ginger (i always grate ginger) etc etc.
Re: Clean your plate
how about Pizza's crust, flesh attached to mangoe's pit, whole nuts and raisins in kheer and stuff like that?
Re: Clean your plate
I eat my pizza crust.
I don’t like mangoes.
I have a separate bowl for disposing of shells when i’m eating nuts with a shell on them.
I eat the raisins in my kheer, though i prefer not to have them there in the first place.
Any more?
Oh, yeah, when i eat curry and there are bones, i don’t eat them, i leave them on the side… but i munch through the cartilage.
Re: Clean your plate
you dont like mango 
what is with you and my wife and my sister and 2 other people that I know ..
Re: Clean your plate
He gives ME the leftovers 
my husband hates any whole spices (cloves, black round thinggy etc etc) so i dont add them to the food. but other than that, i really hate biting into a big masalaydaar boti from a biryani…and it turns out to be the plum pit 
Re: Clean your plate
I don’t like them taste of mangoes. Bas, meri marzi. 
I chipped one of my back teeth on one of those blasted plum pits in biryani. Haven’t liked biryani since. 
Oh and Sara, i don’t like whole spices either so i just grind them up and use them in stuff like pilao. Otherwise if i’m at someone else’s house and they’re whole, i pick them out with my fork and leave them on the side.
What are you? I dont like it police?
