Seems to be something we hand down...my kids did it and now I'm looking forward to my grandchildren getting a bit bigger (babies now!) so they can take part in what I feel is a rite of passage.

I still lick the bowl now, but my grand children had to miss out on that joy as they had allergies. <br />Licking the bowl isn't recommended these days because of the raw egg content. I think it's sad, so many kids missing out on that delicious experience. I hope there are some parents who still let the bowl licking happen.
