To think cheese and biscuits is more of a lunch thing rather than dessert !

[Lardlizard]

Who wants to eat a Sunday roast then eat cheese and biscuits

Give me something choclately Any day !!

Sorry to be awkward but personally I really don't like sweet things.Don't know how this happened but savoury is always the way to go

so cheese biscuits for me. Wonder how many others there are out there...

I'm a huge cheese fan.
Lots of good restaurants offer both, the cheese, then dessert after, and I've been to really nice restaurants where they have a cheese trolley.
Its all I can do to not climb in it

In France they have cheese course (with bread, not biscuits) before the dessert.

If I have to choose it would be cheese, always cheese.
It's my favourite food, there's something very wrong if there's fewer than five types in my fridge as an absolute minimum.

I would rather have it instead of a meal! I have worked in restaurants and all chefs hate making it 😂

I put them out at the same time - so for example a piece of Brie and a raspberry tart. Then tell guests to help themselves to both or either for the rest of the time at the table.

A proper cheese trolley (yes, trolley) is a thing of wonder and beauty. And perfectly acceptable either before or after pudding or on its own.

I am rather podgy though.

A really stinky cheese trolley where the cheeses are served at room temperature with perfect accompaniments.
Basically The Kitchin restaurant in Edinburgh.

I'm not big on sweet things so frequently enjoy the cheeseboard. Different strokes

Blimey do folks not find that off putting? Not sure I’d want a stinky Stilton, Brie or Ripe Camembert sitting next to a raspberry tart. That’s why they are served seperately.

One should have access to the port to go with ones Stilton though.

If it's not chocolate it's not dessert.
Dessert is supposed to be yummy and sticky

OK you people who prefer cheese and biscuits to a chocolate pudding are insane, just saying.

I love both really, but if I can actually manage more food after a roast, which I often can't, it would be a sweet dessert definitely.

Love cheese and biscuits and often choose it over a pudding.

However, it's not right after a roast. It's just not. Roasts call for very home-madey puddings - steamed sponges, cheesecakes, chocolatey stuff.

Both - pudding then a bit of a rest, then cheese and port with a few grapes and maybe some chutney. Yum, Food of the gods.

Cheese and biscuits aren't a dessert. Dessert is sweet. Cheese and biscuits are more traditionally eaten after dessert but some people might choose to skip dessert and go for c&b instead. Doesn't make it a dessert, it's just personal preference!

I’m not a massive sweet fan so cheese for dessert is right up my street!

I love cheese!

I find it too heavy after a roast or any meal with rice or pasta etc!

But ds and I love a Sunday where we have roast about 2pm.

Then cheeses, hams, crackers or hot baguette, grapes, peppers etc in the evening about 8pm as our meal. Especially sat at table or lounge floor and playing cards whilst we eat it

Neither of us is that keen on puddings either tbh!

I LOVE The Kitchin. Gutted that Castle Terrace isn’t reopening.

You have the manky chocolate shite, then.

I'll have all the cheese, thanks.

Some people don't like sweet food.
I think it's weird, clearly OP does to, but so what, so one is forcing C&B down your throat, each to his own.

And it does force the requirement of a good port. Or two.

I enjoy a cheese board from time to time instead of desert and I have a massively sweet tooth.

After xmas dinner we would have desert sat at the table then after a respectable break, an hour maybe, cheese and biscuits would be served.

Posh side of my family always did:

• Starter
• Main course
• Dessert
• Cheese, crackers and sometimes grapes (or mince pies at Christmas so that people could put eat them with Stilton (boak!).

Also I agree that dessert is sweet and 'Cheese and biscuits' shouldn't be a dessert option!

Some people just don't have a sweet tooth. I certainly don't, and would take cheese over any pudding offered... Unless it was fruitcake with cheese 😁
