Case example of a culinary receptacle
in popular entertainment.
I'm sure you've met these kinds of people before, and maybe your group of friends has a guy or gal who's willing to "Man up" to the challenge of taking care of the leftovers... in his/her enzyme-rich digestive tract. This description of individuals usually addresses the insatiable desire and pride of the person to eat various things that he/she happens across, and can range from things that have fallen on the floor, leftovers, mooching someones food, and so on. You can count on them to eat indiscriminately and practice aspects of true food equality. In context, it can be used in a negative connotation or as a joke at the Moocher's expense.
Examples:
Person 1: You gonna eat that?
Person 2: It's a week-old donut that's been on the floor.
Person 1:...So?
Person 2: Take it man. You're such a culinary receptacle.
"My mom keeps putting food onto my plate and expects me to finish up everything. It's like I'm her personal culinary receptacle. "
...for lack of a better visual example.
