Like using your soup spoon away from you to scoop up the contents; doesn't make sense, has further to travel to yer gob, and tipping the plate towards the centre of the table to grab those last remaining drops. Of course, would do this when out dining, but never at home now ... probably tip the plate directly into my mouth anyway .

This has come from when you are onboard a ship, If the ship rocks from side to side as they do , the person who will get hit with the soup is the person facing you and not yourself . Thats why you tip it away from you .
