Don't eat your fingers!!

We have a Lebanese saying that goes like this: " it's so good you will eat your fingers when you are done". That is just the metaphor about how good a dish is, mainly I am guessing it started as a trick for mom's to convince their kids to eat that green stuff they never like, or husbands to satisfy their wives, or it is just true. In warsaw and for totally different reasons, there is a restaurant that serves food in edible plates( yeah! really the food does come in plates made out of some kind of wheat, that you can eat). As usual I am the last to understand things here since it always has to be translated, and it took a while for me to get it(really). Dominika did explain that the plate was made out of dry stuff that you could eat. So I looked at it and it had the texture of wood, then I took a little piece, and I chewed on it, but it was terribly dry, the kind of things that you would give for a horse, or a cow, unless you let it sit over night in tea or water. The food on the other hand was good, but the plate business I think was a bit extreme for my taste. The good thing about the restaurant is that it is an environmentally friendly place, and so not wasting water and soap on washing dishes is good for nature, maybe next time I take my edible plate to the park and feed it to the pigeons, they seem to eat anything. In the end I got to thinking that maybe eating your fingers after a good meal,would not be tastier than the edible plate either. In any case, I am keeping my fingers, and won't chew on edible plates again. SAVE THE PLANET EAT ALIENS:)
