refer to fruit or a yogurt as 'pudding'. fruit is not a fucking dessert! Dessert = sugar/fat/stodge not a fucking yogurt!

Fruit salad is a pudding, isn't it? Not all dessert has to contain sugar, fat and "stodge", sorbet is a dessert. And surely it's the fact that you eat it after your main course that makes it a pudding, rather than what it actually is?

ThatBloodyWoman · 12/08/2015 17:25

Yanbu.
Everyone knows its afters whatever it is.

knittingdad · 12/08/2015 17:27

It is perfectly reasonable of you to have whatever feelings you happen to have, but it would be entirely unreasonable for you to seek to correct people, or otherwise prevent them from this very common usage of the English language.

Yogurt is a disappointing pudding.
Although I had fruit for pudding yesterday with a tonne of cream

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 12/08/2015 17:28

YABU, what would you call fruit and yoghurt after a main course if you don't call it pudding?

CigarsofthePharoahs · 12/08/2015 17:28

Sorbet contains a lot of sugar!

Werksallhourz · 12/08/2015 17:31

"Pudding" used to be 17th century slang for poo, or so I was once told.

walks off whistling

Through a snack

No you can't call it a snack, OP, a snack is between meals surely.

Twirlypoos · 12/08/2015 17:35

Fruit and yoghurt after a meal are a dessert, they are not a pudding. Puddings are fat/sugar/stodge.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 12/08/2015 17:36

Maybe you should call it 'the yoghurt and fruit course" served between the main course and pudding

roofio87 · 12/08/2015 17:51

my 22 Month ds will agree with you. if I offer 'pudding' and then produce fruit or a yogurt there is a meltdown!!

MrsMummyPig · 12/08/2015 18:14

I'd do the same roof

DownAtFraggleRock · 12/08/2015 18:17

hmm, tricky...you could go old skool and call it 'sweet' or 'afters'. Covers all bases?

cocobean2805 · 12/08/2015 18:51

YABU, what would you call fruit and yoghurt after a main course if you don't call it pudding?

I'd call it "we've run out of ice cream"

UrethraFranklin1 · 12/08/2015 19:04

Fruit and yoghurt after a meal are a dessert, they are not a pudding. Puddings are fat/sugar/stodge

This, exactly. Puddings are indulgent and calorific. Yoghurt is not and can never be a pudding.

msgrinch · 12/08/2015 19:05

'afters' oh dear god that's worse than 'supper'.

JugglingChaotically · 12/08/2015 19:19

Pudding is either fruit or yog as far as my DCs are concerned!
Exceptions on hols and special occasions only...

SanityClause · 12/08/2015 19:26

If you are really grand, the dessert course refers to fresh fruit, and is separate from the pudding.

FanFuckingTastic · 12/08/2015 19:27

Muuuuuum what can we have for dessert?

Fruit or a yoghurt because I ate all the puddings.

MrsGentlyBenevolent · 12/08/2015 21:11

What if its one of those Dairy Milk yogurts, with the buttons or flakes to stir in? It's like a fruit corner yogurt, only not full of disappointment.

JackSkellington · 12/08/2015 21:14

I would have agreed until recently seeing my dentist about having a filling, he told me to avoid yoghurts in the meantime as most of them are packed full of sugar and quite bad for your teeth.
